Alexandria Peterson
"Awesome gym. The jiu jitsu and Muay Thai are high energy classes that are both encouraging and challenging. This is a great family gym, even the kids classes are full and active! All of the instructors are very skilled and kind as well as helpful. I highly recommend checking this place out."
Ann Casey
"This has been such a positive experience for our son! He is a physical kid and is learning how to use his physicality appropriately as well as learning basic respect, listening, and communication skills. We’ve been so proud to see his growth in less than 2 months! The coaches have also made it comfortable for us as newbie parents to jiu jitsu!"
Hannah Calvi
"My daughters favorite place to be! She loves all the Professors/coaches. Professor Tunz does an amazing job and is one of her favorites. I love the way they help build up each student in jiujitsu and life. They encourage them to strengthen their body and mind while never giving up. This location has gone through a lot of growth since we started a year ago and it’s fun to watch it all come together. The program directors are amazing with answering questions and getting each family situated."
Teisha Bowman
"Been going to Gracie for 5 weeks now and best decision was joining. Both my sons are learning so much and most importantly is they are having fun while doing so. Professor and coaches are professional, welcoming and you can tell they really care about the kids. My oldest is 8 with 3 years experience, who for the last year did not want to go, but since we started at Gracie he wants to go every time he can. My 4 year old has only begun and is having a lot of fun while learning. They really push the kids to learn the basics and focus on technique. Then they play with the kids and teach the kids how to have fun as a team. I get to be in the gym and watch both my boys as they train. Family friendly atmosphere both seen off and on the mats is something that I was looking for. Happy for my family to be a part of Gracie Barra Tacoma!"
