5 /5 Ash Hewitt: Gracie Barra Caringbah has truly been a life-changing experience for my family. From the moment we joined, Professors Fred, Tami, Morgan and all the coaches have welcomed our children with warmth, patience and genuine care. Their skill and dedication as coaches have helped both of our children grow tremendously, not just in terms of learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but in building confidence, resilience and essential gross motor and self-defense skills.
What’s truly special is how the training environment blends structure and discipline with fun and encouragement. Our kids are not only learning effective techniques, but they’re also forming strong, positive friendships with the other kids they train with.
There’s also a wonderful sense of community at Gracie Barra. Whether it’s among the other families, the staff, or the adults who train there, everyone is supportive and welcoming. It honestly feels like a second family to us, and we feel incredibly lucky to have discovered this gym.
Having tried many different sports and activities over the years, I can confidently say this has been the best thing we’ve ever done for our kids. Our daughter has been training for over two years now, and our son started earlier this year — and both absolutely love it. We couldn’t be more grateful.
