“I cannot recommend Gracia La Mesa highly enough! This jiu jitsu training facility has truly become a second home for me and my family. From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt embraced by the amazing family atmosphere that is present here. The camaraderie among students is incredible; it’s not just a place to train, but a community where everyone supports one another’s growth both on and off the mats. Professor Jason is absolutely outstanding. His expertise, patience, and passion for teaching shine through in every class. He has built a fantastic team and fosters an environment where everyone can thrive at their own pace. His dedication to each student’s progress is unmatched, and it’s clear that he genuinely cares about the success of everyone who trains here. I also want to highlight the incredible support from the newest member of the teaching staff, Professor Marco. He has been so patient and helpful in my journey. Not only has he been a tremendous resource in class, but he even took an entire Saturday to coach me and my two 10-year-old girls, Tilly and Taylor, for our first competition. His dedication and guidance were invaluable, and he truly went above and beyond to make sure we felt prepared and confident. If you’re looking for a place to train, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced practitioner, Gracia La Mesa is the place to be. The facility, the team, and the overall vibe are top-notch. We’ve found a home here, and I’m grateful for everything they’ve done for my family and me.”

“I've had the pleasure of training at Gracie La Mesa for the past 8+ years, and I can confidently say that it's not just a gym – it's a second home. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was greeted with warmth and a genuine sense of camaraderie that sets this place apart. What truly makes Gracie La Mesa shine is its outstanding family-oriented culture. The instructors and staff go above and beyond to create an inclusive and supportive environment. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or a complete beginner, you're treated with respect and encouragement. It's evident that they're invested in the growth and well-being of each and every member. The dedication to maintaining a positive and respectful atmosphere is something that resonates throughout every class. The coaches are not only incredibly skilled but also exceptional teachers who are patient and attentive to individual needs. They take the time to break down techniques and offer personalized guidance, ensuring that everyone progresses at their own pace. One of the aspects I admire most about Gracie La Mesa is its commitment to family values. They often organize events that bring members and their families together, creating a true sense of community beyond the mats. These events have helped me forge connections with fellow practitioners that extend beyond the gym's walls. Gracie La Mesa also offers a range of classes to cater to different skill levels and interests, making it easy to find the perfect fit for your training goals. In conclusion, Gracie La Mesa isn't just a gym where you learn techniques; it's a place where you grow as a martial artist and as an individual. The strong family culture, combined with skilled instructors and a welcoming environment, make it an exceptional choice for anyone looking to explore the world of Jiu Jitsu. I wholeheartedly recommend Gracie La Mesa to both beginners and experienced practitioners alike. Thank you, Gracie La Mesa, for creating such a remarkable space for us to learn, connect, and evolve. I'm proud to be a part of this incredible community.”

“If I could I would give this place a no stars rating, I would. The children in the 4-5 pm class would call my son, the only black kid in the class the “n” word, make fun of his hair, he has locs. The instructors never corrected the children, but made mental notes of each time my son reacted. I spoke with owner, Jason, about two weeks ago when my son was not home on time. He told me my son had left 10 minutes ago and had been hanging out with some of the other students after class. He then said that my son was doing a great job in class. My son was part of the establishment for about six months. Never once did I receive a phone call, text message or email from any of staff members complaining of my son’s behavior. Then when I bring out claims of racial discrimination being perpetuated by some of the white students. My son is the problem. Jason initially decided on separating the students, however, the other parent gave him an ultimatum, either my son goes or his sons goes. Jason should not be teaching young men and women about the principles of Jui Jitsu when he, himself is afraid to uphold them.”
