I have been interested in Martial Arts since I was a kid. After an accident that left my ankle damaged, I realized that I probably didn't have the balance for stand up style martial arts. On the way to the bank in Rohnert Park, I spotted Gracie Barra Jiu Jitsu Academy. I was apprehensive to enter because I was worried about typical martial arts attitude and intimidation. My concerns were put to rest immediately. I was greeted by Coach Lindsay in a Pink Gi no less.She quickly introduced me to Professor Bill, who explained the Gracie Barra way of life and set up a free introduction class for my son, my wife and myself. That was 11 months ago and our family has now become part of the Gracie Barra Family. We all look forward to our training and have all improved our Cardio, Strength and Flexibility. I am amazed at how fast the one hour training sessions go by. The training has also been a great way of reducing stress and improving the over quality of my life. I have lost 25 lbs. over the last 11 months as well. So if you are looking for a Martial Arts Academy, with a terrific philosophy, a fantastic Leader, super positive coaches (Mike,Paul,Kyle,Elliot, Sam and Lindsay) and staff, and a great facility, you need to come down to the Academy and visit. I guarantee that you will feel welcome.
