Have had grandson here since 3. He 6 now. Absolutely the best and looked at a couple
Places. Instructors top notch. Patience and kind.very professional atmosphere. The Only thing I would change is I wish I could get on the Facebook page. They take frequent pics to post and they have tried to help me figure out why I can’t see their page but still can’t. They say it is on their end but been trying a year now and they haven’t figured out.

Recently visited GB Tyler over the Thanksgiving holidays. So excited to see such friendly, knowledgeable, welcoming people teaching jiu-jitsu in East Texas. This was my first traveling outside of my home area, and they made the visit not only enjoyable but educational. To Professor Plínio, thank you for the roll and walking me through my deficiencies. Professor Ben, thank you for taking time during our roll to show that gripe, already putting it to good use today. To everyone that was gracious enough to roll with me, a visiting spacey white belt with no stripes, thank you for understanding and allowing me to work with you all. This is a wonderful school that anyone will be able to walk into, feel welcomed, be able to learn, and enjoy the sport and the art. Thank you all, see you at Christmas. I will be looking forward to it.

I am beyond excited to be drilling moves longer! I finally feel like I'm unlocking tools I wasn't grasping previously. Sticking to working the same move over and over is where it's at. We can never master anything if we are constantly moving on so fast. LOVING this new training style. I've been training a year and finally feel a lot more "light bulb" moments. Drilling over and over is a must. PLEASE stick with this training! I am beyond grateful and blessed for my GB Tyler family! I look forward to seeing my people every time I train!
