They have become a community of friends and mentors. It is everything a kid should have while doing athletics. Support, encouragement, discipline, and friendship. Professor Fred and Coach Jordan truly care about each child individually and invest in them all. Intentionally helping each child set and exceed their goals.

The professor, the staff, the members are basically FAMILY! Different cultures, different backgrounds all joining to learn SKILLS, to PERSEVERE and to find a better self in you by the end of class. As the saying goes…As a Gracie Barra TEAM MEMBER and a Jiu Jitsu STUDENT.

Was visiting family in Lindale and was invited to take part in the Women's class while I was there - it was an absolute blast! Stephanie was a great instructor and took time to guide me through each movement and was so encouraging! I'll definitely be back when I visit again 🫶🏼 Obrigado Stephanie e Gracie Barra Lindale!Posted on Scotti SmothermonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and my son are learning Jiu Jitsu at the Gracie Barra gym in Lindale. They are both loving the professor and coaches and each taking away different things. Everyone is so friendly from the staff, to the other parents, and kids. They have created a great community atmosphere.Posted on Amber McKinneyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gracie Barra Lindale is a truly special place. It's more than an after school activity- it's a community. What Stephanie and Eduardo have created here is truly life changing for these kids! Our son was struggling to comply in school, often in trouble for his behavior, and it was a huge strain trying to figure out how to help him (and trust me, we were trying everything). Within a few months of joining GB, his school teachers and administrators were saying- "Whatever you guys are doing is working. He's a new kid and is much more regulated and has matured a lot. He truly turned a corner." (okay, what moms need to hear this?!) What was the main thing that changed at this turning point? Joining GB Lindale! We started off going twice a week, and he was asking every day to go back. Jiu-jitsu itself helped meet the sensory needs of a young boy, and the professors have helped him learn not just physical skills, but soft skills as well. We can't recommend this place enough- They truly care about these kiddos! Heck, I've even joined the GB Fit class myself. You'll come for the jiu-jitsu, but you'll stay for the community.Posted on Kaitlin AdkinsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our daughter has been doing Jujitsu with GB Lindale for over six months and has improved her discipline, resilience, strength and patience on and off that mat under the teachings of Prof. Fred as well as all the other amazing coaches. The community of parents and students here are incredible. I have felt so welcomed that I joined 2 months ago and it's a real game changer.Posted on Alisha HobbsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
