The challenge was great. Coach mark supplied you with everything you need to reach whichever goal you decided on. The diet and grocery shopping cheat sheet he gives you is great, and I really enjoyed the comradery of everyone in the gym as well. All the coaches and fellow members were very humble and understanding of a beginners knowledge while being eager to teach. Highly recommend for any level interested in joining this gym because the coaches and professors are great teachers. Hell of a workout too.

I have been training at Gracie United Kenner for about 4 years along with my 16 year old and 10 year old daughter, the instructors are awesome and the people that train the at gym are great. The gym does a great job of making new people feel welcome. In addition to excellent Jujitsu, Coach Leeling offers Wrestling classes, MMA classes for both adults and kids. There are people of all walks and.points of their jujitsu journey to connect with. As someone who started training in my early 40s i have never felt out of place at this gym , if you are looking to learn an amazing art and crush your ego and build your confidence and make friends along the way i highly recommend Gracie United Kenner.
