"Gracie Vista is a grate, friendly and welcoming studio to keep improving your skills. Professor Locksley is an amazing highly skilled instructor."
Jose Maldonado
"Locksley is an amazing jiu jitsu professor. Since the first time I stepped in that door in January I was greeted to a welcoming environment. Everyone is really receptive and respectful and the training is legit. I thank Locksley so much for the support and encouragement I’ve gotten so far. He really cares. I come to the mats and I’m captivated by Locksley’s ability to teach and break down each move. Jiu Jitsu is doing so much for me and I would really recommend anybody to give Jiu Jitsu a try. Especially at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Vista. I’m excited and hungry for the journey. Thank you!!"
Daniel Sandoval
"I'm 26 and just signed up about a month ago and hands down one of the best things I have ever done for myself. My self confidence and knowledge for Jiu Jitsu has grown tremendously and I'm excited to go into every class. The instructor Locksley is amazing at what he does and makes you feel very comfortable and welcoming. Everyone in there has great energy and I highly recommend this gym to anyone interested in self defense/Jiu Jitsu!!"
