Kevin Awalt
"I’ve had a great experience with Gracie Jiu Jitsu! The head instructor Bob is very knowledgeable in what he teaches you. There’s also videos you can watch after you register to keep learning techniques outside the gym! He has kids classes as well! Everyone there helps each other out, no matter what your experience is. It’s like a little family there, I highly recommend doing it!"
