Gracie United Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Kenner & Metairie

"My 7 year old has been attending classes here for a little over 2 years. I cannot speak highly enough about Gracie United - Team Jucao Kenner. Coach Mark & Professor Rick have not just built an academy, they have built a community. They, along with all of the coaches here, truly want every person that trains with them to be a success, both on and off the mat. The coaches here are equally skilled in working with children & adults, from beginners to the most experienced competitors. They are motivating, encouraging & truly believe in all of their athletes. Coach Mark & Professor Rick were born for this, are wonderful with the kids & teach them real techniques. My son has grown so much over the past two years under their guidance. Signing him up at Gracie United - Team Jucao Kenner is the best decision we’ve ever made for him. My once shy child, is now full of confidence in all aspects of his life. I could not ask for more in a Jiu Jitsu Academy!"
