Oh my God what else can I say about Cecilia and Mattheos and the team! My husband has been wanting to take part in physical training for a long time being that he's been fighting prediabetes for about 4 and a half years. And because of his size and the nature of self-defense in the past that he is encountered he wanted to learn how to ground and pound. Well he got what he wanted he got his butt kicked on the mats by everybody on his first day and sprained his ankle! 😀😩 But guess what he is very happy he's got two months for which he's been laid off from work that he's going to focus on just training and busting a sweat and learning self-defense. Also ask about the specials because there is two tears to the monthly packages both very reasonable and provide excellent benefits. He's glad that he's finally able to do something that he has as a goal! Also the training initially provided by the instructor was very thorough plain an easy to understand. Also everybody has an excellent sportsmanlike conduct. And the facility is very well lit and cleaned and maintained. Describe is very kind & attentive. Will give you an update in a couple of months on my husband is handling it and don't worry about his ankle he knows how to take care of himself he's already feeling better today. God bless.

We were in town for a couple weeks and we wanted to keep our 4 year old’s jujitsu practice going so we stopped by and loved the experience! Clean organized space and professional, kind professors!

My sister introduced me to Gracie Barra and I’m so glad she did! My daughter has been training here for about 2 months now and it’s been amazing. The kids were so welcoming as well as the instructors! I feel like they can go a little harder on my daughter lol but really they’ve been moving at the pace necessary! Anyways, 10/10 recommend and they also have a free trial you can bring your kiddos too!! Take advantage of it!

I’ve been to several Jiu Jitsu schools, and this one is ran very well. The gym is clean, the class structure is very intentional and well put together. They were receptive to me reaching out on social media to schedule a visit from Denver. Professor Rodrigo was very welcoming and kind. I will 100% be back next time I’m in the area!
