I entered the gym in June of 2012, and expected to be a black belt in a couple of years, and to…read morejust train a couple times a week. At the time I weighed about 225 lbs, and had started my fitness program at home and lost about 10 lbs in 6 months, now I'm less interested in the outward belt promotion, my primary concern is not just getting the black belt which takes much longer then I realized, but to instead live a healthy lifestyle and to continuously improve in every aspect of my life. My relationships are healthier, i have a batch of like minded friends, and I'm happier in every aspect of my life. I presently weight 190 lbs, I've taken more then 15% body fat off, I can run, I weight train, supplemental yoga, I train kettle bells and am stronger now then ever before in my life despite being an accomplished athlete in high-school. My confidence has improved, I've grown in humility, I am less stressed, and I have something to look forward to 4 nights a week and I attend 4-5 practices a week. There is no way to fully express how grateful i am for the oppurtunity to train in this environment, and how much happier I am as a person. I am confident that the Gracie Barra Burton is not only the best organization in this region but also the state, and I promise that for committed individuals wishing to pursue a healthier lifestyle, and to learn the art of Jiu Jitsu will be pleased!

Everyone is rad and chill. All the coaches are top notch and give personal tips and instruction on a regular basis. They take the extra time to help my progress. The brand new gym is huge and has everything a person could possibly want/need. The culture is definitely a bit more on the aggressive and end, but this IS a combat sport/martial art. The owner is tough, but he pushes me to be better. He doesn't tell me what I want to hear, but he speaks what needs to be said. He is honest with me regarding where I am and where I need to go in my training. If you are willing to learn, grow, and be stretched...this is the place for you! The first class is free.
