I'm very disappointed with the way we were treated at this Gracie Barra jiu-jitsu school. While…read morewaiting for my son's class to finish, the owner rudely told us that "this is not a playground" and that we needed to either put our younger kids in the car or take them outside. As paying customers, we expected a more respectful and understanding approach -- especially considering how much we spend for our children to be part of this program. Young siblings naturally accompany parents to drop-offs and pickups. Instead of creating a welcoming environment for families, the owner made us feel unwelcome and disrespected. We came here for discipline and growth -- not to be treated as a nuisance. I would not recommend this school to other parents who value a family-friendly atmosphere and respectful communication.
