People Love Learning Jiu-Jitsu With Gracie Barra
Posted on Gene BillsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great family place! My kids and I have been training there for a few years now and it’s absolutely wonderful. The professors and coaches are still active in the jujitsu world so you’re getting up to date information and training! The new building is beyond amazing! Overall it’s hard to beat!Posted on RoxyandKeith StephensonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I decided to give BJJ a try because I was looking for some good exercise that wasn’t boring. I hit the jackpot. Now I’m addicted to something active and healthy. Amazing gym, amazing professors. Life changing for the better!!Posted on Morgan ThompsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gracie Barra Texas has become family to us, we are there 6 nights a week and love every second of it. All four of our kids have joined as well as my husband and have learned so much. Our boys have been training there for two and a half years, the girls started after and have met so many amazing people that have become like family to us! Such a great way to teach children self defense and discipline in a healthy positive way!Posted on Marshall GriceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. World Class School with World Class Instruction!Posted on ben westerlinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My kids attend classes here. These guys are good with active boys and shy girls. They have several instructors for every class, and the positive attitude really makes this a great place. The adult classes also look structured and have a competitive/non-competative feel. I haven't noticed any of the overly cocky annoying people who make classes suck. This martial art is naturally competitive, but everyone seems to be willing to help everyone else learn and get better together. I'd highly recommend this gym.Posted on Zachary W.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great school with a great instructor team. Get your kids in this school now!!Posted on JohnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My boys are only a few sessions in and I already see a difference not witnessed from any other establishment I have taken them to. The staff is incredible and provide a welcoming family feeling from day one. Wish I had more stars to give.Posted on Sean DayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing place! The BJJ here is world-class, and I love that they teach the old-school self-defense techniques. The new MMA and Muay Thai programs are amazing since Juliana Lima and Isai Cabrera took over. I’m super excited about the new location. Vinicius “Draculino†Magalhaes has built a great team.
