EXCELLENT Based on 100 reviews Posted on Google Rebecca CasalinoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My kids have been training here since they were little. These coaches and professors have been an integral part of their community and development as they have grown from little kids to teenagers. As I start my own jiu jitsu journey, I’m grateful that in the process of “building knowledge in the mind, strength in the body, and a non-quitting attitude”; I can train alongside my kids while also building my own community of strong individuals.Posted on Google John BakerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great gym and welcoming community. My niece trains there and I visited from Houston and took a class there. Will be back for sure.Posted on Google Zain LadhaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I trained with you guys a few years ago. I had such a good time. But couldn’t come back because of financial reasons.Posted on Google jared wittenmyerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. THEY HAVE THE BEST CURRICULUM AND GREATEST COMMUNITY. The Professors and coaches have the most patience and understanding Ive ever seen. Two of my 3 kids and I attend classes. We love the community and we realy enjoy the techniques and the focus that comes along with their fantastic teaching.Posted on Google Mariah SalazarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gracie Barra NM is an amazing school as well as the other NM locations. All the professors truly care to see you grow and improve in the art of Jiu Jitsu. Professor Isaiah and Professor Lucas are truly amazing and their attention to detail while helping you grow is extremely valuable. I would recommend anyone to any of the NM Gracie Barra locations. But if you are in the area of Gracie off San Pedro, stop in and give a free class a try. You will not regret it and will soon see that jiu jitsu can change your life for the better!Posted on Google Stephanie VazquezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son, three daughters and niece started Jiu-Jitsu at Gracie Barra and it has been such a great experience for them. The instructors are really encouraging and take the time to help each kid understand the moves step by step. I’ve noticed they all have gained more confidence, better self-control, and have learned how to show respect to others. They look forward to going every single week. I’m really thankful for the positive environment they provide. I highly recommend this place to any parents thinking about signing their kids up!Posted on Google Karla VazquezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My five-year-old daughter absolutely loves Gracie Barra! The coaches are so patient, positive, and great with kids. They always make her feel comfortable and confident, and I’ve already noticed a huge difference in her. She gets excited every time it’s Jiu-Jitsu day! I really like how they teach respect, listening skills, and good habits while still keeping class fun and active. If you’re looking for a place for young kids to start Jiu-Jitsu, I definitely recommend Gracie Barra. It’s been such a good experience for our family!Posted on Google Kevin LozoyaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love this place great teachers very proactive place for the kids awesome placePosted on Google Maria MurilloTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son has been attending Gracie Barra since he was four, and is now six years old, his confidence level has risen dramatically since participating in jiu jitsu. He continues to grow in all areas. His professors and coaches have been a remarkable influence in his life, as they care about his behavior and actions both on the mat and outside of Gracie Barra. They genuinely prioritize the well being of your children. I look forward to him continuing to grow up surrounded by such great people and influences.
