    It's been over a year that our son started his jiu-jitsu journey with Coach Hicks and we are so happy he did!

    Great studio to work out for any and every one! Very clean and organized. Staff here is wonderful…read more Staff here is knowledgable, skilled, and want to teach and exercise with you. They keep adding more and different classes as well which is awesome. If you want to learn Karate, I'd recommend coming here as well. A lot of different classes to fill any need. Really nice prices as well and the studio here is so big and bright.

    For those who know me, I preached Kenpo. I was a 2nd Degree Brown Belt, and I was ready to test for…read more1st Degree at the time I was shelved. I just needed to polish my staff set. I had already stripe tested everything else. I put in dozens of hours volunteering. I was on payroll for a while as well, as an asisstant instructor in the sparring program. I *loved* sparring, and I *loved* teaching it. My constant gushing about Kenpo led several folks to either sign themselves or their children up. Last year I was diangosed with cancer and my doctors told me I needed to take a break. The owner told me to take care of myself and not to worry, they would be there for me when I was ready. Fast forward 9 months. My cancer was in remission and I was ready to return. When I reached out to the owner he told me he was excited to have me back, and told me I could come back at the "new member rate". I'll save you from a ton of math here, but the short of it is my kids and I attended for $391. This included unlimited classes, sparring, sticks, etc. The new rate would be $1200 a month for each of us to attend one class per week. When I expressed that this was out of my budget, he told me I could just end my daughter, and I could sit in the stands and "watch". At this point I reminded him that he had promised to hold my rate, and sent him screen shots of the conversation. I wasn't angry. I just wanted him to realize I wasn't asking for special treatment here. After 7 years of attending that school, when I was told I could return at that rate, I was shocked when he blew me off. At this point he basically just stopped responding to me. When i made a facebook post and tagged the the studio and explained what happened, he simply blocked me. His way of dealing with his lies is to block me and ignore me. After 7 years of considering that studio to be a part of my family. He is unhinged these days. He literally just posted about how one of the schools he workls with "doesn't understand him" because he told them he was going to put there account on hold due to low membership. They couldn't believe he would act this way after working with him for ovger 15 years, so they asked him to leave. All he cares about is money these days. Please stay away. This is not a place where you learn martial arts. This is a palce where you buy a belt, if you can afford it.

The instruction is technical, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the focus on fundamentals builds real, effective skills. Whether you're a beginner or experienced, the coaching, discipline, and team culture make it a top-tier place to train.

    I wanted to share what a positive impact my time at Carlson Gracie (formerly Gracie Barra) has been…read moreon my life. I have always had an interest in Jiu Jitsu, but felt intimidated getting started. Although I played sports, I had no martial arts experience prior to starting. After the birth of my son and maintaining a stressful job, I knew I needed a outlet for stress. I finally decided to give it a try. Professor Andre, Camila, Patricia, and Gary all were so welcoming from the moment that I first walked into the gym. I tried one other gym before Carlson Gracie and it was night and day the difference in atmosphere. You can tell that everyone at CG is passionate about BJJ and the positive impact it can have on your life. One aspect of the gym I really want to emphasize and was unexpected was the social element. I can truly say that I feel like I have bonded with many of the other members and have made many friends through jiu jitsu. The culture is very encouraging and fun and it is not uncommon for people to stick around after class to talk and have a good laugh together. Before starting, (based on stories I read online about BJJ in general) I was concerned about more advanced students engaging in intimidation or hazing practices. I am happy to say at CG the complete opposite is true. The more advanced students have clearly had good training and go out of their way to make people feel welcomed and to teach to your ability. Professor Andre, Patricia, and Gary are all actively competing which means they are at the top of their game. Professor Andre was been ranked in the top three nationally for his weight class (something I didn't know until I got started). Despite this, they treat everyone who walks in with dignity, respect, and care. The coaches are very attentive, focused, and dedicated to helping you be the best you can be no matter your size or athletic ability. During warm ups, drilling, and rolling they are enthusiastic, excited, and incredibly perceptive concerning giving precise feedback that can help you improve. You can tell considerable thought goes into maintaining a culture that mixes fun and competitiveness which really makes you want to keep getting better. In addition to the culture, training, and atmosphere being top notch, this is also a great option for getting into shape. Over the course of four months I lost about 30 pounds from going to train consistently. I can honestly say at age 37 I am likely in the best shape of my life in terms of cardio and flexibility. This is not something I thought I would ever say as I was nearing 40. Concerning the facilities, the gym is very clean and you can tell great care goes into maintaining a professional and sanitary atmosphere. I have never been concerned about cleanliness and compared to others gyms I have visited while out of town, this was by far the most well maintained. Personally, I find this element to be important as it adds a level of comfort to the setting. Professor Andre makes a point to say that the gym is a family and thats what it feels like. The training is great and it really makes you appreciate the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I look forward to going to the gym everyday. I cannot recommend Carlson Gracie of Carrollton enough!
