Gracie Barra Spokane Valley

“I’m so proud of how much my son has grown so much in just a short time in his Jiu-Jitsu training. Watching him tackle each challenge with determination and confidence has been amazing. He handles setbacks with a positive attitude and is slowly forming new friendships at the academy. So far Jiu-Jitsu has truly helped him grow into a stronger, more confident person, and I can’t wait to see how far he goes. At Gracie Barra Spokane Valley, we walked in and immediately felt something special here. My son was welcomed in with open arms from all the professors as well as his peers. The kids here are so welcoming and are willing to help when you are new. Being a new person in any sense can be nerve wracking, however at Gracie Barra Spokane Valley that was not the case. You are fully embraced no matter what kind of training you have. We have been here for about a month now, and I can OFFICIALLY say it's Home. My son wants to go everyday he looks forward to seeing his professors and friends. Professor Charlotte is absolutely amazing she has helped us get our son signed and locked in to the academy. Professor Marcus and all the other professors are great with the kids teaching them not only the technical parts, but they also teach them discipline, determination, and to have a non-quiting attitude. I'm looking forward to what's to come, and to see my son grow and flourish in his Jui Jitsu journey.”

“This place is amazing to say the least the camaraderie between within the athletes is Unparalleled to any other gym or team I’ve been apart of and you can truly feel the care and support from the professor and all coaches I have been training here just over a year and the thought of leaving just seems silly to me. It really is a family and the lessons I feel are guaranteed to help you get fit, build self confidence and definitely improve your self defense abilities.”

“I've been at this gym since the very first day it opened, and it will soon be 2 years since then and I couldn't be more pleased with the fact that I started when I did. Professor Markus and coach Charlotte are great and very technical teachers, there is much to learn from them both and they are always patient and never hesitate to answer questions or assist with technique during a class. They ensure we remain safe while rolling yet allowing a still competitive atmosphere for learning. If you feel that it's time to learn how to defend yourself effectively, begin a new sport and compete or simply get into and stay in shape, I couldn't recommend this place more.”

“Our son has been attending classes here for a month now. Professor Markus is a man of high character and exceptional teaching skills. You and/or your children won’t regret training here. The atmosphere is very family oriented. It’s a small school with many students but it’s a great place to be. My son has definitely had a change in character in this short time that he has attended the class.”

“I have been a member of this school since the first week it opened in November 2022. I can truly share that it is a wonderful environment for both older adults like me as well as very young kids and everyone in between. I encourage anyone to come and take a free class. :o) Roberto”
