DO NOT GO HERE IF YOUR CHILD IS TRYING TO LEARN SELF-CONTROL AND FOCUS, THEY WILL NOT SUPPORT YOUR…read moreCHILD WELL . My son is 8 years old and is a very energetic, happy kid. He has challenges with focus and self-control at times which is precisely why we wanted to enroll him in the Krav Classes. He started in the Lil Dragons program, and after about 4 months he was promoted to the Juniors program because he was doing so well. HERE is where it gets sad...he was told we would "trial" the Juniors class to see how he would do. After 6 weeks, he having difficulty with focus and self-control in the larger setting, but was making improvements over the last few sessions based on staff report and my observation. This past Tuesday, he wasn't paying attention and accidentally punched another kid in the face with his glove on (not hard but I'm sure it still hurt...he apologized to the child and resumed the class). I recommended that we put him back in the smaller class considering that my son was thriving in Lil Dragons, and he was consistently practicing safe partner work in Lil Dragons so there is no reason he would not thrive there again. Trying out lil Dragons to see how he does again posed no risk to anyone's safety. He just has ongoing challenges with focus and self-control which impacted his performance overall in the larger class. My son in a smaller class size would have more adult support and less distractions which would ultimately help him focus. This issue with the partner work the other day was not aggression, it was a lack of focus that resulted in a punch to someone's face (focus is precisely what a smaller class would support and DID support as of 6 weeks ago). 360 Krav's response was that he wouldn't be appropriate for the Lil Dragons class either (even though he was doing so well there 6 weeks ago that he was promoted!)...effectively expelling him from the program altogether. How 360 Krav has handled this is totally unacceptable. You promoted him to "try" out a new class...it was not a good fit, and now you are not letting him go back to the class that he was successful in. This is a disgraceful way to teach...you are literally punishing a child for being brave enough to try something new and then failing at it.

Where do I even begin? Gracie Barra Long Beach is a HOME for me and my family. The professors and…read morecoaches are top tier and you can tell that they actually CARE about each student. The ratio of coaches to students allows for the students to receive the appropriate attention. The owner, Professor Rodrigo, makes the effort to get to know his members and create a safe, clean, inviting, and fun environment for everyone. Both my partner and I trained here for roughly 6 years. My partner was also promoted to black belt at this gym. I was able to train SAFELY during my pregnancies. There are many women in the program that truly made training amazing in this male-dominated sport. We made many friends in the classes and the only reason we left the gym is because we moved completely out of the area, but we are very much still in contact with our friends at the gym. We know that if we visit the area, we will be welcomed with open arms. Our daughter is too young to train, but we would absolutely enroll her if she was age eligible. The kids program is fun, consistent, and even offers anti-bullying training! There is plenty of space for parents to stay and watch their kids train - even making friends with other parents! This gym is for everyone - those that choose jiujitsu as a hobby and for people that want to take jiujitsu more seriously and enter into competitions. They offer a free trial class and even provide a uniform for you to borrow! If you are even sightly thinking of starting your jiujitsu journey, look no further and try a class at Gracie Barra Long Beach! You will not regret it!

Professor Dimitrios and the other coaches are very knowledgeable in the art.

Seemed to be on some type of drugs. I went inside pissed at this point to ask who was running the place because this woman was causing a scene outside. Instead of handling the situation professionally, she jumped into the boxing ring and told me to fight her. This place is trashy, low-class, and completely unprofessional.
