"Professor Jimmie and Professor Helen are both professionals. Very clean mats, and clean facilities. Love going to this gym, the schedule is great for people who have full time jobs. Also if you have kids it's the best structured training you'll get for kids."
William Hutson
"Phenomenal school with extremely talented, knowledgeable, and well rounded professors and coaches. My two sons (ages 6 & 10) and I train here and have been treated like family by everyone from the moment that we walked through the door. Jiu Jitsu has changed my life for the better, given me something to share with my children for the rest of our lives, and truly is for everyone of all ages and ability."

Mark Westbridge
"Exceptional School! I had been looking for a Gracie Barra to open in Huntsville for several years. I wanted to recommend a good martial arts program for my grand children. I'm so glad they opened. My two grandchildren have been here for about 8 months and results are fantastic. The owners/instructors are extraordinary. Skilled. Patient. Kind. I have been training in martial arts for more than 40 years and this is one of the best run schools I've seen. - Mark"
