Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Youngsville

“I was only in the area for a little while, but I'm so glad I was able to stop by this gym! Coach Cortney was an amazing teacher and was able to clarify any questions I had with any techniques. The community here is outstanding and made me feel really welcomed even though I was just stopping by. I could definitely tell that everyone here was really passionate about the sport and made sure that there was a good atmosphere. The facilities were really clean and had air conditioning which is really appreciated during the hot summer here.”

“My whole family attends Gracie classes and we are so glad to have found this hobby with such a committed mentor. The women’s self defense class is new and already such an empowering curriculum! Coach Cortney does an amazing job keeping a comfortable and safe atmosphere for all age groups- even for adults. It’s been amazing watching the school grow in the 10 months we’ve been attending.”

“Our four kids have been with Coach Cortney since 2019. We have travelled through and in Tiny champs, Little Champs, Jr Grapplers and Kids Black Belt Club. From the minute we stepped in the door, the attitude and passion of Coach and his family is obvious. Coach is full of dedication, discipline, compassion and so much humor! Coach Cortney and staff are just SO positive, encouraging and caring! They tailor the lessons to each age group from the younger 3 yr olds to the older teens. It's just a joy to watch! Coach reinforces on the mats what we, as parents, are teaching at home. The skills my kids have learned on the mats these past 3 years have been immeasurable and invaluable! We LOVE Gracie Jiu Jitsu Youngsville, Coach Cortney, his staff and his family!”

“I have been training with John and Cortney for 4 years. Great instruction in a spectacularly clean and safe environment. Strong focus on fundamentals with great detail. Kids program is wonderful with a large student base.”

“By far the most inspirational and motivating sport I’ve involved my children in. I have a 4 year old and 7 year old enrolled. I believe every child should be enrolled in BULLYPROOF - tell them Tyler Melancon sent you. It truly teaches children CONFIDENCE, RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, MATURITY, LEADERSHIP, MANNERS, etc... Cortney and his staff are amazing. They will give your child the skills of LIFE! Affordable for what your child will take away from a lifetime of jiu jitsu! It’s a true family here! Hope this review helps thumbs up the review if it did. Thanks Tyler J Melancon”
