We started our son at Gracie Barra as a way to build self confidence and to build skills to learn to protect himself. His shyness was very apparent every time he stepped onto the mats for the first few months. Professor Doug tells each person who walks through those doors, it takes courage to step onto those mats. What Doug and Christina have cultivated and curated at Gracie Barra is simply amazing and works to build that confidence. The professors, coaches, and students are encouraging and caring. You truly feel as if you’re among family.

Gracie Barra Oceanside is Amazing! My son has been Enrolled for about 9 months, I’ve seen improvement in him. His respectful he listens, and his learning self defense which is really important to me. Professor Doug and professor Cristina are amazing and take the time to talk to you about you child and ways to improve.

I started training at GB Oceanside earlier this year and immediately felt the strong sense of community here. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. Professor Doug is extremely knowledgeable and attentive to all of his students. Thankful for the team!
