The program is not only good for their physical health, but their mental health. After the pandemic came and my kids were stuck at home all the time, they really suffered from not seeing friends and family. Involving them in Gracie Barra has been life-changing for them. They are learning not just about self defense, but about taking pride in yourself, how to treat others and yourself with respect, time management, and so many other small life lessons I see them absorbing every day on the mat. The professors truly care about the children and the kind of people they turn into. I would very highly recommend this school to anybody - adult or child - that wants to learn something about themselves.

While I was traveling for work I wanted to find a place to train and saw that Impact was close to…read morethe hotel where I was staying. I had reached out to see if I could do a drop-in and was told that I'd be welcome. Impact's motto is 'Good People. Good Jiu-Jitsu,' and after having visited I wholeheartedly think they live up to it. Rob was teaching the class that evening which seemed to be a mix of experienced and some more experienced beginners and some folks who were had started more recently. He broke down the moves and techniques down enough to be well understood by all levels but still let a lot of time to get a lot of reps in. The evening I stopped in was a nogi class, which is a style I generally avoid because it's a lot of wear and tear on the body. I didn't feel as beat up as I thought I would be, not to say that it wasn't the fast paced game that nogi typically is. What's more there was a focus on stand up that most schools usually avoid. I'd definitely go back to ABQ for another drop in and if I ever end up in ABQ on a more permanent basis Impact would be the place to train.

After…read moresearching around the land of Yelp, Impact Jiu Jitsu ABQ was definitely the place I wanted to try out. Benjamin made me feel a sense of welcome before I even started my first day. He called me to answer my questions and make sure I was set up for success from the get-go. Impact Jiu Jitsu ABQ is where I find incredible instruction, a sense of family and community, and incredibly humble people who make training exciting and fun. Amazing coaches, clean facilities, incredible training partners, great curriculum. If you are interested in getting into BJJ (or already are training), come check out Impact Jiu Jitsu!

Coach Fergus was very friendly and guided the early 6am class. All the training partners were very friendly as well. No egos, just fun rolling in situational positions.

Thank you Coach Fergus and the 10th planet family for the warm welcome!

We had a very unfortunate experience here. My kiddo was in the beginner class and hardly learned…read moreany real karate skills in the months she attended. The teacher seemed unable to manage kids in this age group. 90% of the classes ended up being split into groups where some slightly older kids were teaching the younger kids. The older kids aren't trained to coach and help with techniques. I feel with the amount you pay each month, your child should be taught by someone with coaching experience and help them to become comfortable and familiar with at least some skills. On top of that, Buyer Beware, they charge you a $200 fee to cancel your child's classes regardless of how long he or she attended classes at this dojo. They also charge you for classes even when the dojo is closed for repairs like floor installation or A/C outage. I would not recommend or return.

From my very first class I got a workout and left with applicable skills, which is extremely hard to do! The first class I took was the Krav Maga. I was a little intimidated at first, being the only one in the class that didn't have some kind of belt, but the other students and Zane, the owner and instructor, made me feel really welcome. Just to be clear, what I am looking for is to be actually able to deploy moves, not just run through drills, and Zane gives you that right from the beginning. We worked on disarming a knife, two person attack, and kicking drills. The other class I have attended is the Women's Self Defense class. This is taught by Michelle, Zane's wife. I think every woman needs to take this class! We learned that pony tail grabs are a common attack point and how to disable someone that attacks in this manner. Repetition makes perfect but what I like is that after one class you have enough grip on the fundamentals that I feel like I could deploy some version of it. Great place!!

I returned home and received an email from iron soul stating that my membership had been cancelled because I was "staring at female members and making them feel uncomfortable". I had no idea what they were talking about and racked my brain as to how something I did could be labeled as excess staring . I called and left a message for an explanation and right to defend myself, I emailed back and asked how they could kick me out without speaking to me on the matter based on someone's subjective opinion of what my eyes where doing. They did not answer my calls during business hours and did not respond to my email as of yet. They labeled me guilty without the decency of giving me a combat veteran and first responder the right to defend myself against accusations on my character. This is such a disappointment because I loved the training there so much However if this is how they do business and I feel that I have to walk on eggshells and look at the ground in order to not inadvertently offend someone there than I rather not be a part of that gym. Hope you have a better experience than I did however another former member I know was telling me something similar happened to him so I'm not crazy.
