I’ve been a student here for 3 years now, and I’ve experienced both owners, new black belts, and everything in between. This is truly one of the best jiu jitsu gyms you could find in Castle Rock!Gracie Barra is an incredible organization, and I feel so fortunate to be a part of it. This school is an amazing place to train, with its spotless cleanliness and a welcoming environment for kids of all ages, skill levels, and genders. As a woman, it’s so important to feel safe in a male-dominated sport, and I’ve always felt safe, encouraged, and valued every time I walk in. Professor Duda genuinely loves teaching and connecting with his students and their families, making him an outstanding addition to the school. The ownership has made fantastic progress over the last two years, implementing positive changes for everyone who steps through the door.Regarding the negative reviews about the owner being unethical, they seem to stem from misunderstandings and drama from former employees. The owner has always been truly decent and kind to everyone who visits.If you or your children are interested in learning self-defense, this is the perfect place to be!
