Gracie Barra Tacoma

"I went here for about a month, and had unrealistic expectations. This is the gym for somebody who wants to work on their discipline, health, and GI Jiu-Jitsu. It is not the gym for someone who wants to learn/practice self defense. The classes are too large to achieve any real amount of specific coaching, but the culture was enjoyable. They have strict rules that you must wear their uniforms, to include undershirts. Most people I met were passionate and welcoming. I give it 5 stars because it is exactly what it wants to be, but I won't be back because it's not what I want it to be. Everyone can learn something by attending a few free classes, this place is very professional and helpful."
