Gracie Barra Lake Charles

"As a life-long learner passionate about leadership, great organizations/team cultures, and coaching/teaching, I 5 star recommend Gracie Barra Lake Charles! The level of coaching, teaching, respect taught, patience, and true love for BJJ and the students that train there is unmatched. I am so grateful for having made the choice and having the chance to train here, even if I started at 42 years old! Professor Jamie Gomez and his team of coaches truly care about each student that enters the door, no matter their age, race, background, or ability level. If you have been wanting to try out BJJ but have been nervous, trust me, I understand. I want to invite you to come join me and the other students at Gracie Barra Lake Charles. The three months of me attending (at the time of writing this) has taught me two life lessons that I have applied in training and in real life: 1. Breath 2. Manage your energy Come learn with us! You won't regret the decision. Pictured: This is me at 42 years old earning my first stripe in Brazilian Jujitsu. If I can do it, you can do it!"

"The best place to train! Coaches are incredible, the people are truly wonderful. Everyone wants to see each other succeed and builds each other up. It’s so nice to walk into a gym and have other females-from beginners to advanced belts train. Highly recommend this gym for ALL ages!!"

"My high school aged daughter recently started here and has fallen in love. Great people fostering a great environment for someone to get in the mix. Cannot recommend enough!"

"A few weeks ago I got a free trial class and I hopped right into an advanced class. Even though it was my first time going there the way it was set up and coordinated made it feel like i had been going for years. After that I signed up and got a FREE GI for the promotion they were doing in DECEMBER- JANUARY. I was nervous at first but everyone there is super nice and give you awsome advice. Ive already met so many people and I really enjoy going."
