Bottom Line: This is a great gym with people who actually care…read more This review is for the kids classes only as I have no knowledge of the other classes. We tried to get our son interesting or excited about a variety of group sports as well as individual sports. He just had zero interest in any of it. Something about this place has captured his attention and imagination and now he talks about it, looks forward to going and excels on a daily basis. Whereas in the past it was a struggle to get him ready to leave to go do something, he's ready to be out the door in a moment for Krav classes. As a parent it's SUCH a hard line to walk, the line between fun and discipline. This place does an amazing job allowing the kids to actually be kids but at the same time provides them with a level of discipline you would expect from a Martial Arts facility as well as instilling a work ethic. On top of that they also have fun kid events like a Halloween gathering and I've heard rumblings of a Nerf war. If you're looking for a place to go to learn some amazing self defense techniques or even a little community of people who look out for each other, this is a great place to start. I have learned a ton just from watching the kids go at it. Highly recommended.

How can I express my appreciation for Master Yun's Studio?…read moreIn the six weeks I have been studying Wu style Tai Chi with Master Yun, specifically with his wife Linda, i have gone from a never-ever to a devotee. Wu style as taught here has significantly helped my balance, posture and energy. It is a quiet, balanced focused discipline that I absolutely love. It is sometimes called moving meditation. I agree. Master Yun, Linda and Daniel are absolutely the best. Couldn't recommend them higher.

Just went for the first time and I'll be definitely coming back!…read moreGreat, inviting atmosphere, very knowledgeable and pleasantly informal. Master Yun and everyone else was very encouraging and helps you get started. Great studio!

Rachel does a beautiful job of making each trainee feel safe and comfortable to figure out their own voice and style. The training itself is well-rounded and covers the intellectual portion like anatomy and asana labs, while also holding space for the spiritual through bhakti yoga, mantra, and our readings. I especially appreciate that we took care to study how to respect the history of yoga both in our individual practice and our teachings. Lastly you build a special community with the fellow teacher trainees that makes the whole process sweeter :) Highly recommend whether you're interested in teaching or just want to deepen your practice, worth every penny!

I've trained with the head instructor Jeremiah Vance for many years now. I can tell you there are few instructors in the world with as much knowledge and teaching abilities as Jeremiah. He coaches UFC champions, Jiu Jitsu World Champions and at the same time beginners with zero experience. It doesnt matter if your out of shape and never done a sport in your life, Jeremiah will help you. If your looking to get started, look no further!

I moved out to the central coast about a year and a half ago with a lot of uncertainty in my life. Let me tell yuh, the guys over at Gracie Barra Santa Barbara have been some of the coolest most influential individuals I've ever met. Professor Thiago what can I say, hes larger than life! Super thoughtful, funny, sweet guy. He has a huge heart and takes great care in his instruction. He's a world champion with the humbleness of a saint. I am extremely proud to know him! Professor Rodrigo, mastermind behind the chillest jiu jitsu scene in Santa Barbara County! He has set the stage for epic jiu jitsu sessions and unforgettable moments. An excellent instructor, shrewd businessman and great friend. I look forward to competing for and representing Professor Rodrigo Clark and Gracie Barra Santa Barbara in the future! If you have the slightest inclination toward coming over and training do it! You won't regret it!

I went to this yoga school in 2005. What a wonder place and experience to last a lifetime…read more I was well into yoga and had retired in my early 30's so I decided to do things that I just loved. This was a big decision for me which school I would attend but this one I could drive to where the other was in New York.

The location is beautiful! The food was great, and Tracy was a good teacher. The material that the…read moretraining covered was well presented. The only drawback was the attitude of "Ganga" White. His attitude was arrogant and a bit condescending toward the students. He was rigid and unyielding in his approach and it seemed that as far as he was concerned, there is only one way to practice asana. Sad to see an aging yogi with an ego problem, but I suppose it's not as unusual as I once believed. I mean, look at Bikram.
