Gracie Lake Norman Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Fantastic experience: Gracie Lake Norman fosters the kind of environment that is both empowering and uplifting for adults and children. My boys and I have gone to martial arts gyms before, and they can often feel regimented and oppressive. Ranard purposefully creates an atmosphere that helps people feel comfortable embracing the uncomfortable - ultimately, helping every student grow beyond their own perceived limits. If you are considering it, the only thing I recommend is not waiting to get started.

Fantastic experience: Renard is incredibly dedicated to his students and giving them the best training and support they need. He has gone above and beyond to help my child realize her potential. Taylor had trained for 4 years at another academy and we never realized that there could be so much of a difference. No one has done more to further my child's jujitsu journey than Renard. It is more than martial arts. It is a winning mindset that he fosters

Fantastic experience: We feel honored to be part of the Gracie Jiu Jitsu LKN family. My 4 year old daughter has been training for a few months now. She has been given the tools to deal with uncomfortable situations and the confidence as a kid to stand up for herself before she’s in those situations in real life. All the hard work and heart that the owners have put into this program is immediately evident upon stepping through the doors and seeing the students at work. My husband and I agree it was the best thing we have done for our daughter.

Fantastic experience: Stopped by while in town. They have an excellent training environment with well-communicated instruction. Wish I could train here more often!

Fantastic experience: Stopped by on vacation. Top notch technique, instruction, and people. A++
