NELIZA PATTERSON
"We absolutely love Gracie Hernando! My two boys are thriving in both the jujitsu and kickboxing classes—and the homeschool program they offer is truly incredible. The coaches are not only highly skilled, but they’re also so patient, encouraging, and fantastic with kids. It’s such a positive and structured environment where my boys are learning discipline, building confidence, and staying active, all while having a blast. I’m so grateful for a place that supports both physical fitness and strong character development. Highly recommend for any family looking to get their kids into martial arts and an inspiring homeschool community!"
