We have been coming here for two years now. My son is a student here and he loves it! He has so much self confidence now that stems from his training. The friends he has made here will be with him for life. 10 out of 10 I definitely recommend training here!

The best place to train! Coaches are incredible, the people are truly wonderful. Everyone wants to see each other succeed and builds each other up. It’s so nice to walk into a gym and have other females-from beginners to advanced belts train. Highly recommend this gym for ALL ages!!

As a life-long learner passionate about leadership, great organizations/team cultures, and coaching/teaching, I 5 star recommend Gracie Barra Lake Charles! The level of coaching, teaching, respect taught, patience, and true love for BJJ and the students that train there is unmatched. I am so grateful for having made the choice and having the chance to train here, even if I started at 42 years old! Professor Jamie Gomez and his team of coaches truly care about each student that enters the door, no matter their age, race, background, or ability level. If you have been wanting to try out BJJ but have been nervous, trust me, I understand. I want to invite you to come join me and the other students at Gracie Barra Lake Charles. The three months of me attending (at the time of writing this) has taught me two life lessons that I have applied in training and in real life: 1. Breath 2. Manage your energy Come learn with us! You won't regret the decision. Pictured: This is me at 42 years old earning my first stripe in Brazilian Jujitsu. If I can do it, you can do it!
