Gracie United- Team Jucao Red River

“My son has gone here for over a year, sine 4yrs old. Firstly the environment is clean, comfortable, and always welcoming. Second, the instructors and other students (same age and older) are welcoming- they help new students learn the basics without shame. They are patient, understanding that the attention span is short for the littles and that they need frequent reminders. In all of this, we started to help our son have some discipline, gain confidence, and learn to be humble in learning a new skill. We love this environment bc the instructors learn the kids, meet them where they are at, have patience with them, but they also push the kids to be better. They hold the kids accountable with their behavior. They also show the kids that they can do hard things. It’s also very easy to talk to the instructors about changes in my son’s life, struggles, and how they feel they are doing in class. I also have gotten lots of direction in how to help my son outside the gym to help him improve. Needless to say, we love this sport for our son and this gym. We will be putting our other son in this as soon as he is able- and that reminds me- this environment is welcoming for our younger kids. They get to watch and I don’t ever feel shamed for our youngest having a cry or tantrum!”

“This gym is amazing! The instructors are incredibly skilled and create a welcoming, supportive environment for both kids and adults right from the start. They do a fantastic job teaching my 2 boys with a perfect mix of structure and fun. As a new learner myself, I felt encouraged and comfortable from day one. I strongly recommend for anyone looking to venture into BJJ.”

“I moved in from overseas and was looking for a place to continue training and was extreamly happy to find this Gym. Professor Christos and Coach Tobi are the real deal whether you are looking to learn the martial art or self defence or compete or get in shape and make friends. The culture is amazing and welcoming with everyone working on improving themselves and their teammates. This great Jiu Jitsue culture even extends beyond the gym to the neighbouring Gracie United gyms around the area. So if you are looking for a place for you or your kids to enroll , this is the Gym for you !!”

“I can’t say enough about this gym! The owners, an inspiring couple, lead with passion, support, and relentless drive. They’re fully invested in your progress, creating a welcoming yet challenging environment. Their leadership fosters a tight-knit team that pushes you to grow.”

“I recently joined Gracie United Team Jucao Red River, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. The staff and instructors are incredibly welcoming and make you feel right at home, regardless of your experience level. From the moment I walked in, I felt like part of the family. Whether you're new to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or an experienced practitioner, they offer a great environment to learn, grow, and push yourself. I highly recommend this gym to anyone interested in BJJ, self-defense, or just looking to be part of a supportive, friendly community!”
