Gracie United- Team Jucao Red River

“Best Gym Ever! After being in three different gyms now for a little bit. We so badly wish we could go back Red River. Christos and his Wife Tobi really know how to run a successful gym. They both are amazing teachers along with the other coaches. The kids learned so much in two an half years but also they realize how well their teachers really cared for them.”

“I highly recommend Gracie United —it’s an amazing place for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed into a friendly and supportive environment. Coaching: The instructors are fantastic. They know their stuff and are great at teaching, making complicated moves easy to understand. They give helpful feedback to everyone, whether you’re just starting or have been training for years. Facilities: The gym is clean, modern, and well-kept. The mats are in great shape, and the changing rooms and lounge area are comfortable and well-stocked. Community: The people here are wonderful. There’s a real sense of camaraderie and support among members. Training with everyone—from beginners to advanced students—is always positive and encouraging. Overall Experience: Training here for the month has been a fantastic experience. With excellent instruction, great facilities, and a supportive community, it’s more than just a gym—it’s a place to grow in your BJJ journey. I highly recommend it! Especially, if you're at Camp Cook for the month and a service member. This team will take care of you.”

“If you’re a beginner and are thinking about getting into Jiu-Jitsu this is the BEST PLACE TO TRAIN!! The professor is extremely competent and good at teaching the classes for all levels!! The atmosphere is fun, extremely welcoming and friendly! Truthfully cannot find a better place to start training”

“Dropped in for an open mat and was blown away by the facility and the welcoming vibe. The gym culture is top-notch, and everything is kept super clean. I’ll definitely be back!”

“A little under a month ago, I started my jiu-jitsu journey. I was 300 lbs; My blood glucose was 356, and my blood pressure was 175/95. I'm 260, my blood glucose is 75, and my blood pressure is 116/75. Jucao Jiu Jitsu at Red River literally saved my life. The owners, Christos and Tobi Konnaris, are wonderful people who make it so easy to pay dues. All their coaches are excellent. They'll work with you until you understand the technique and drills. The teammates are great, too. They will work around any injuries you may have. It is one of the most excellent gyms in CENLA. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to join an incredible family and learn jiu-jitsu.”
