I just started Muay Thai training here at Gracie Barra Tacoma, and I am really enjoying my training here!! The staff and other trainees are very welcoming and always willing to help out and show things that I might not understand right away. Best workout I have ever been apart of. I leave every class drenched in sweat, and feeling that much more confident!!

My son has been really struggling with his listening and focus since covid started. Everyone at this school has been so amazing and patient with him. while other places gave up on him in a few days and just said he didn’t listen well enough. Gracie Barra Tacoma has not. My son loves going. I have only great things to say about this place and all the martial arts instructors.
