It is so difficult for families to find extramural activities for kids with ASD, and Ms. Dicks has created an environment that is not only safe but allows these kids to thrive. Kids are taught martial arts, self-confidence, self-discipline, and self-defense. There is even a sensory class offered, specifically tailored to kids on the spectrum. I can't say enough about how Ms. Dicks has positively impacted my family, except to say that as parents, we were so impressed that we decided to become students too!

I have had one 10 year old attend Jiu Jitsu and kickboxing classes here and one 11 year old…read morecurrently attending all classes here for over a year. My son is a high functioning autistic that was initially interested is martial arts, but is not physically strong. Gracie Jiu Jitsu is the perfect style for him and Professor Trey has had experience teaching special needs students. My son was very excited and enthusiastic for nearly a year and moved up in belt rank before he lost interest. All of the coaches were understanding of his way of learning and self expression and made the lessons understandable even for him. I think he was attending to make his dad happy and I had no problem not wanting to go anymore. He did learn a lot for self defense. By that time my daughter was completely fascinated with what her brother had been going about and took his place as a student. She is about four months in and has tried every class that is offered. She enjoys the technical qualities of Jiu Jitsu, but also likes the real world aspects of the no gi classes. She also likes the Judo incorporated into the takedowns classes and especially appreciates how kickboxing rounds out what is missing from a complete MMA education. I think she will be practicing all of these for many years. I hope she can stay with Gracie United for a long time. They treat you like family and encourage the students the same way. I recommend this school and trust all of the teachers, coaches , and professors with my children. That should say plenty.

I started to notice signs of unfair treatment amongst the brown girls, while I should have mentioned it earlier I didn't until it happened to my daughter! She would constantly get ignored and was shown aggressive behaviour/body language by one of the cheer teachers. I have zero tolerance for unwarranted disrespect towards my daughter. It would actually hurt her feelings and when she hurts I hurt. She's only 6, she nor any of the other kids of color who attend Danceworks of Slidell deserve to be treated this way. She is my love, I'm her advocate , and I will no longer keep my silence! I'm sick and tired of my daughter being treated less than fair because of the color of her skin! I pay my hard earned money just like everyone else for her to attend this class! I emailed Dancework to see if we could talk about it but I received no response , I was ignored ! It was heavy on my heart so unfortunately this is what it had to result to! Parents, if you're Ok with your precious little brown princesses or princes for that matter being treated less than fair because of the color of there skin then by all means go ahead allow your kid to attend but we been dealing with injustices for tooooo long! All children should be treated fairly! DON'T TAKE A CHANCE , TAKE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ELSEWHERE! There are other establishments that will treat your child with respect, dignity and with gladness!
