My daughter attended, and very much enjoyed Gracie Barra, which later became Renowned. We informed a member of the coaching staff (the lady who often wears pink) that she wouldn’t be coming back for the foreseeable future because of the shoulder issue. Stupidly, we didn’t cancel the direct debit. I have asked the guys for the money back, minus a month. Here’s some of the responses. Oliver is a bully. Legal proceeding to follow. The screenshot is the result of my asking for my daughters attendence card. I will be posting updates as they happen.

Last year, my 7yrs old son started training Brazilian Jiu-jitsu in Gracie Barra club in York. He enjoys it a lot, as the classes are fun and he made a lot of friends there. As a parent, I've noticed a vast improvement in his focus, discipline and of course physical condition. He's currently on the verge of advancing to the higher belt and absolutely loves it! I'd like to share this with all the parents, who might be looking for something their kids might like. The first class is completely free, so there's nothing stopping you from trying😁 Also, seeing my son during his classes, I've decided to join in as well. This was the best decision I've made in a long time! I was 43 years old slightly overweight couch potato when I've started and I've lost just over a stone in the short few months I've been training there. Everyone in adults classes is very friendly and helpful, which makes the atmosphere really welcoming:) Now my son and I, share the activity we love and bond closer because of this. Can't recommend Gracie Barra in York enough!

I can’t praise the coaches especially professor Tom highly enough. They are so kind, patient and nurturing through their teaching skills and are always so welcoming. It’s also been nice to see kids and the parents make lovely friendships in the groups, I hope my son continues this sport for many years to come.
