Training at Gracie Barra Langley has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Beyond the quality of the classes and methodology, the atmosphere is incredibly welcoming. The instructors are attentive, patient, and always motivating us to do our best. I truly feel like I’ve found a real community here.
This really is Jiu-Jitsu for everyone….. the kind of school where Moms and Dads drop their kids off for class and then come back for their own class later on. Such a positive & welcoming environment to be in and it all starts from the Professors on down to the coaches and the students. Professor Fabio and Professor Fabricio foster an amazing environment and you can tell they genuinely care about the students and really enjoy sharing their knowledge. Literally classes at all times of the day as well, so no matter the time or day there is always a class option available. So happy I found this school!
I am a student at this academy and the environment is great friendly and 0 intimidating. Also there is a great community of students so if you are trying to get into BJJ and are in the area definitely will recommend. Professor Fabio and Diego are amazing and schedule before work really really make it an option for working people
Disappointed with our experience. The classes are expensive and the groups are too big. The coaches were not able to properly control the kids or give them enough individual attention. For the price, I expected much better. 2 starts only for the stuff.
Booked my kids into class for today. Got there and the receptionist told Gave me a Uniform for my child and told me to get him changer and one of the instructions will come help you with the belt.. got my child changed and sat on the benches in clear view to someone to come help us or anything class was going to so did not seem right to just walk on the mats and intrupt everyone. Waited for 45 mins and on one came and second class started.. so we walked out.. I even make eye contact with instructor a few time to make sure we were there....not to mention my kid was very upset he was looking forward to this.. and asked every five minutes how long we have to wait..
I signed my 3 year-old daughter up for a trial class two weeks in advance and was incredibly excited for her to start. She currently attends gymnastics and loves being active, and after reading so many positive reviews about this program, I was looking forward to potentially enrolling her long-term. Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing from the moment we arrived. When we walked in, we stood at the front desk in plain view of both a staff member and another employee, yet neither greeted us or asked if we needed help. After waiting, I introduced myself and explained that my daughter was there for her trial class. The staff then discussed her size with each other and selected her uniform without really speaking to us or explaining anything. We were simply handed the uniform and told to give the belt to the instructor. After getting her changed, we sat and waited. There was already a class taking place, and when 4:00 PM arrived the scheduled start time for our trial the same class continued with activities. We had no idea whether we were supposed to join, wait, or do something else because no one had explained the process. My husband eventually approached the front desk to ask what we were supposed to do. The staff member responded by asking, “Where’s your daughter?” even though she was sitting right on the bench and they had personally given us her uniform. We were then told that she could simply join the class that was already in progress. As first time visitors, how were we supposed to know that? My daughter became upset and started crying, which is completely understandable for a 3-year-old entering a new environment with unfamiliar instructors and children. We received no guidance, support, or reassurance from staff. After about 5 minutes of her crying, an instructor finally came over and mentioned that one of us could go into the class with her. That information would have been extremely helpful from the beginning. Had someone greeted us, explained how the class worked, told us where to go, or reassured us about helping new students settle in, the entire experience could have been very different. Instead, we felt overlooked, confused, and unsupported throughout the visit. I had very high hopes based on the reviews, which makes this experience even more disappointing. While the program itself may be great, our first impression and onboarding experience as a new family was unfortunately very poor.
This has been the worst experience I have ever had. I communicated with the management for three months, only to receive an email just ten days before school started informing me that they would not be able to run the after school program. The communication from management was extremely poor. Despite sending numerous emails and repeatedly following up to understand their requirements, I received no clear responses. Then, without warning, I was suddenly asked to pay $1,000 to enroll my son — and was blamed for not paying immediately. I had been communicating with them consistently, yet they never explained what would be required so I could be prepared. I even requested a phone contact to avoid further confusion; they provided a number but never answered. This reflects deeply irresponsible management. After I withdrew my son from his current after-school program — a decision he was excited about — and even after paying half of the fees, they simply left us with no options, showing no concern for the impact on our family.
