The coaches(Christian, Chris and cecilia) are absolutely the best. They love what they do you can see the passion when teaching the children. They have more patience than myself as a mom and treat all the children and parents fairly! We appreciate the dedication and joy the coaches bring into all the families!

I joined this Gracie Barra in Corona about a year ago, and it was the best decision I made all year. Everyone was very welcoming, and I've learned a lot training under every professor who teaches at this school.

Been taking my children here since 2015. The coaches may have changed throughout the years but the family atmosphere has not.
