Gracie Barra Southlake Brazilian Jiu Jitsu — Local services in Southlake

A couple of years ago, our family decided to spend some time in Tx, while our children were at a young age. As soon as we settled down, after some research, we enrolled our three young children (at the time, ages 3, 4, 5) with Professor Alejandro in Gracie Barra, Southlake.

Two years has passed, and we are now moving back to our home state. I have never written a review in my life, but I feel it is important for me to share this message with parents who are interested in enrolling their children into Marshal arts.

I am deeply grateful for Professor Alejandro. He is kind, fair, just, firm and encouraging. We had once taken our children to another Marshal Arts studio and the coaches were very condescending and literally made fun of youngsters saying their moves look like monkeys. That was when I first realize not all Marshal Arts studios are the same.

Professor Alejandro ingrained a wonderful philosophy in our children: "when we work, we work; when we play, we play." It is truly a wonderful feeling to hear them say that when they do their homework, or doing their rigorous piano practice every day. My son is now 4 and he is now also taking piano lessons. I believe that it is, in large part, because of Professors philosohy of discipline and training, my son is able to sit down and practice 30 to 45 minutes a day with minimal struggle.

We also visited with our children at another Jitsu Gracie Barra in Ca. Our children receiced many compliments from coaches and parents for their respectful attitude towards the coaches, their classmates and the Jiu Jitsu mat rules.

Watching our children learn to become confident, and learn that everything worthy in life takes hard work, is truly satisfying and fills our family with gratitude for those who have helped us instill these values in our children.

It always makes my eyes water when I think about Professor sitting down on the mat with the children and explain to them that we need to try hard in life in order to succeed.

We as parents have provided our children so much more nowadays, with the growing technology and challenges with it, it is even more imperative for us to nurture our children with discipline and help them to learn the healthy mental skills on which their future accomplishments can be built, and which their happiness and peace can rely on.

I wish all the parents reading this well, and I wish you the best of luck in your...

Life transformative! This school has changed the lives of my family in so many positive ways. We are so grateful for the sport and knowledge of Jiu-jitsu. This Martial art has made us better physically, lowering blood pressure and helping us lose weight, strengthening our bodies and minds! That is just the obvious benefits, while the professors and the owners are the highest quality of people! We are so thankful to have friendships and to work alongside some of the kindest, thoughtful, generous and caring people ever. While my husband has been in the school for over a year, I recently joined because as a woman I had hesitations about the sport and training with men. But the guys here are so kind and respectful of me. The professors are understanding and work with my own progression. These people really care about your development as an individual. They really care about your kids becoming better at the Martial art and developing good attitudes. I love watching the kids become better at the physical challenges jiu-jitsu brings but also the mental strength it encourages kids to have. This sport means you lose a lot, and you might even get a little hurt but to learn how to keep going, stand back up and try again is so important for children and adults! I am so thankful for this school, it has been such a positive influence on my entire family and I am so excited to continue...
