I
have
been
going
to
Gracie
Barra
Surfer's
paradise
for
over
a
year
now,
I
have
found
it
to
be
a
very
friendly
supportive
gym
to
train
at.
I
feel
like
professor
Gui
and
the
coaches
are
very
supportive
of
everyone's
individual
journey
and
goals,
whether
you
just
want
to
learn
at
a
laid
back
pace
and
have
a
bit
of
fun
or
if
you
are
person
who
wants
to
challenge
themselves
within
the
sport,
they
will
support
you.
As
a
woman,
close
contact
sport
can
be
intimidating
if
you
are
training
with
men,
but
I
feel
like
the
professor
and
the
coaches
make
sure
to
maintain
the
feeling
of
safety
for
students,
and
in
my
experience
I
have
never
felt
belittled
or
creeped
out
by
any
member
of
the
gym.
I
feel
just
as
safe
and
supported
by
the
male
members
of
the
gym
as
the
women,
and
in
general,
I
have
made
many
friends
at
the
gym
I
have
a
lot
of
fun
training
with
and
many
higher
belt
friends
who
support
and
encourage
me
through
my
learning.
A
special
shout
out
to
coach
Via
also,
for
making
efforts
to
have
the
women
in
the
gym
feel
encouraged!
I
highly
recommend
booking
a
trial
class
if
you
are
looking
at
this
review
while
considering
if
you
want
to
try
Bjj
or
this
gym
in
particular.
Going
to
Gracie
Barra
surfers
paradise
is
often
my
highlight
of
the
day,
and
although
bjj
may
not
be
for
everyone,
you
kind
of
won't
know
unless
you
give
it
a
go,
and
because
I
love
it
so
much,
I
can
see
the
potential
in
everyone
loving
it,
so
I
kind
of
just
want
everyone
to
give
it
go!
