My first class I was completely nervous inside but it was all for nothing. The instructors are great in explaining techniques. Each lesson is done slow and in a very controlled environment. Lessons are kept on your personal progression chart so you know where you are at in the program. I have only great things to say about Gracie Jiu-jitsu Omaha. I highly recommend everyone to come see for yourself.

Each one-hour lesson addresses one standing and one ground self-defense technique, which are further broken down into simplified drills or “slices” to facilitate the learning process. You can start the program at any time and participate in any class without previous experience and, since safety is our number one concern, there is no competitive sparring in this program.

Master McClendon is a great teacher and great guy. Perfect blend of encouragement and push…read more Children respond well to his teaching, as do adult students. He makes it fun while still making sure you keep moving forward. He teaches Hapkido, a Korean martial art, and has achieved the rank of 5th Dan. To put that in perspective, it often takes longer to move from 4th Dan to 5th Dan than it does for a beginning student to attain a black belt. True commitment and experience! I've personally witnessed him build a new student's confidence inside of a month. Several times actually. A student comes in shy, scared, hardly speaking, and within a month the student is smiling, responding, engaging, and most importantly confidently trying. It's awesome. One of the great things is that while Hapkido can certainly be powerful, it doesn't rely on strength. Rather it teaches how to use angles and circular movements to your advantage. This might be a silly example but think of how a large adult can still trip over a small child or a pet - it's not that the child or pet overpowered the adult, it's that they interfered with the adult's movement in just the right way. It took no particular effort for them to trip the adult and yet it still worked. It's a great place to learn a martial art and how to protect yourself and those you love.
