Youth program is great! We started our daughter at 4 years old. She was shy at first bit we didn't want to give up so we encouraged her to keep going. She was scared because she's small and everyone else is taller than her but these awesome children took her under their wings and she's come out of her shell completely. I can see her confidence building every time she attends class. Many thanks to Jackie and her team!
What a great place!
Awesome training and positive Vibes.
My nephew goes here and loves it!
Been training here for years now. Lots of good people to train with and excellent instruction. Great school for people who would like to learn jiu-jitsu and train without the fear of a group of people trying to snap your limbs and choke you to sleep at every chance they get in the name of "training"! As for the "money issues" in others reviews Ive read, Professor Magid does what he can, as soon as he can, to remedy any payment issues. If there is a problem, it has usually been 1 of 4 things 1) Student failed to show up and sign required paperwork to properly cancel or put on hold 2) Student would not reply to phone, text, or email messages when trying to reach out 3) There is an issue with the billing company and it is unknown until processing cycles are finished 4) Someone got upset and instead of communicating any issues or problems, goes straight to complaining. When moving to this state, due to past experiences at other schools, I really made an effort to do research and physically visit other local gyms. That being said, there's a reason why I picked Gracie Barra Escondido and have stayed for 7+ years.
Great environment!!
Great place
Love this place. Great culture.
100% legit dojo. The dojo also has a great effect. The entrance has two huge doors that are wide open, and it evokes a very welcoming feeling to the BJJ world. BlackBelt Master Majid is 100%.
Great place to learn and train! My daughter and I both train here. Great family environment, and adult and kids programs. Professor Hage shares a wealth of knowledge and provides an excellent training environment!
Everyone here has a great attitude and has been very kind and helpful when learning self defense
Family friendly, safe and well kept academy . Great youth Program. World Class instruction and excellent curriculum. Plenty of class times to select from. Great for all levels.
Excellent instruction and learning environment. Students and professors are very welcoming
Best Kids Jiu Jitsu in SD.
My son attended classes for over a year and then when he decided to discontinue they continued to charge us. I spoke directly with Maggid and he said he would look into it and get back to me. Initially I wasn't too concerned and had complete faith that Maggid would do the right thing and refund the unauthorzed payments. However, now that i have read several other reviews about issues with billing and no refund i am not sure how this will play out.
Expected a more in depth learning experience for such a high price point!! Plus when I tried to cancel they kept charging me!!!
Would not cancel my training and continued taking money from my account for months do not trust them!
Gracie Jiu Jitsu is founded on the blatant lies and blustering arrogance of a washed up family of martial artists. Their schooling system is a glorified cult and their art is falsely acclaimed as superior by their own doing. Look up the name "Masahiko Kimura" and research his interactions with the founder of the Gracie art, and you will see it clear as day.
When I canceled my classes they only put my payments on hold then months later continued to take payments out of my account hopping I wouldn’t notice. Very shady place!
They will charge you $145 when you cancel your membership. Do not go here!
