박사과정 마지막 1년 반 정도를 해당 체육관에서 수련하였고, 저에게는 최고의 체육관이었습니다. 모든 관원들이 가족처럼 친절하고, 관장님과 코치들 또한 관원들을 항상 신경써주십니다. 외국인이었던 제가 여기에 있을 때 만큼은 타지인이라는 생각을 잊을 수 있었던 것 같습니다. 영어를 배우기에도 훌륭한 곳이고, 학업생활중에 잠시 쉬어가는 곳으로도 훌륭했습니다. 덕분에 좋은 취미생활을 얻을 수 있었던 것 같습니다. 타운을 떠나더라도 항상 이곳이 그리울 것 같습니다. 해당 체육관이 다른분에게도 소중한 기억을 주었으면 하는마음에 리뷰를 남깁니다. To those worried about not having enough time to go to the gym, I found that exercising here actually improved my work efficiency. Just open the door, give it a try, and stick with it for several months. You won't regret it when you look back. One of the best decisions I made in College Station was opening that door. Less

Five stars! I walked in a total newbie, never practiced any form of martial arts. From the coaches to the members, everyone there wrapped me in this amazing sense of community. The coaches are more than just instructors - they're passionate teachers who genuinely care about helping you improve. It's been a month since I started, and I already feel there's this incredible sense of support, no matter your age or experience level. You'll find young kids eager to learn alongside seasoned adults, all pushing each other to be better. Everyone offers a helping hand, advice, and tons of encouragement. If you're looking for a welcoming gym with top-notch instruction and a supportive community, look no further! You won't regret it! Less

I’m new to BJJ, as it is my third martial art. I had a 3 year break after moving to College Station and looked at all of the martial art schools in town from all the disciplines. I choose Gracie Barra after visiting and watching instructors and students and seeing a great culture and professional instructors. Martial arts has been a lifestyle for my family for decades. My family has benefited from the confidence, flexibility, health and life long friends we have gained. I highly recommend martial arts to everyone and believe BJJ is a solid and effective defense form and Gracie Barra CS is a great place to learn and enjoy it. Less

Gracie Barra College Station is Amazing. Professor Machado is a world class instructor. His ability to breakdown the movements into simple to understand steps is second to none. It made understanding the techniques easy, which enabled the student to actually apply the techniques in a live training environment right away. Professor Machado and his team's best qualities are their abilities to train children. My son loved class, his technique has gotten better by leaps on bounds, and his confidence in BJJ is off the charts; all due to the team Professor Machado has assembled and trained. Gracie Barra College Station is a wonderful place to train. How awesome is it? I felt like I was in a movie. That's how awesome it is. :) Less

Gracie Barra - College Station is a supportive environment in which learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is rewarding and easy. Professor Milton Machado, instructor Amanda Sakaya, and Coach Daniel are passionate about teaching Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and helping you along your journey, ultimately helping you to reach your goals. Even if your goal in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is to decompress from work, defend yourself from an attack, or eventually compete at a high level. I have trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for several years at gyms around the country. While most gyms have had a qualified instructor - Professor Milton is a fourth-degree black belt with over 20 years of experience - the environment in each gym has varied drastically. It is my opinion that the environment sets this gym apart. Everyone I have met at this gym has been friendly, supportive, and welcoming. To this end, I recommend you try this Jiu-Jitsu gym if you have a free afternoon. You will come for the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but you will keep coming back because of the friends you made - at least that is why I keep going back. Less

First post! Our first day was today, and we loved it. It was challenging but the amazing instructors made us feel welcome, and appreciated. The students were also pleasant and welcoming. I would recommend for kids, normal folks, old, young, and skilled alike. Clean studio, clean dressing rooms, and lots of talent. We loved it so much we enrolled for a full year on the spot. Come join us and support the gracie tradition. Less
