53 yo here and I love learning jiu jitsu and Muay Thai here at Royce Gracie Academy of Mount Pleasant with my Husband. It’s a fun way to practice couples therapy. My two youngest kids (boy and girl) also attend jiu jitsu here weekly. I’ve been practicing jiu jitsu for 2 years now. I started at a different academy that was really big and seems focused on tournaments. Since I’ve joined Royce Gracie, I’ve been able to learn and understand techniques along with body and space awareness in both jiu jitsu and Muay Thai. Joshua is a skilled instructor who helps me to know when to use the various techniques. Class sizes are also small enough to be able to ask specific questions. The men and who attend the academy are supportive and encouraging as well. This has been the safe place for my whole family to make mistakes and learn. Whenever I have company, I have them join me in class and which sparks a joy for martial arts. Im so grateful for this
We love True North! Our 3 kids (8, 10, 13) started off doing Royce Gracie Jiu-Jitsu with True North last spring during the shutdown through private lessons. Once True North opened their dojo on Coleman Blvd we all started attending classes there (my husband and I joined as well). It's hard to believe we've been at this for almost a year! It's such a great workout and Joshua is so great with our kids. We all look forward to classes each week. As a side note, our kids formerly took karate classes. While those classes were good, they can not compare to what the kids are learning at True North, Royce Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. The de-escalation and conflict avoidance is wonderful but so is the knowledge our kids can defend themselves with a realistic fighting style.
This is a great jiu jitsu school for anyone interested in self defense. My three kids (two daughters and a son) have been enrolled in classes at Royce Gracie Mount Pleasant for 6 months and I've already seen an increase in their confidence, self control and (obviously) jiu jitsu skills. I started taking classes a couple months ago and I think it's incredible. I get a workout and learn practical life skills at the same time. As a woman, I find the atmosphere welcoming and the teacher very approachable. The other adult students I've met have been awesome. Every one of them has helped me learn and improve my skills (no one has tried to flatten me into the mat just because they were bigger, stronger and more experienced). If you're interested in learning practical self defense in an uncertain world, this is the place for you (and your kids).
*** UPDATE! Since my last review, we (entire family) have become students. My kids continue their progress. The benefits of this art can be seen on a daily basis. The benefits I have experienced as a student are extraordinary! I’m more flexible, leaner, stronger, sleep better, and have less joint pain than I have in years ( I’m mid-40’s to be clear). At first I was concerned about injury, but every lesson has always been taught in parallel with safety instructions. I promote the Royce Gracie way 100%. My family has grown in ways that I would have never imagined. This is more than just self defense, this is living better. Looking forward to the next year of progression! *** Org Post My wife and I chose this place after vetting several others. Royce Gracie Academy, on the surface appeared like any other Jiu Jitsu academy. However, once inside, it was vastly different. The focus wasn’t on wild combat, but education and instruction. Anyone
Excellent martial arts studio and AWSOME group of people. For anyone interested in practicing martial arts the hardest part is finding a place and stepping through the door into the unknown. Well this is the place . Everyone their couldn’t be more friendly and welcoming and helpful . Josh is an experienced , professional , and patient instructor . You start with the basics and the instruction is tailored to your level . I tried a couple of other places and got stuck in a corner feeling like a punching bag for more experienced people with no personal instruction. Not here. And even if your just looking for an awesome fun way to get in shape this’ll do it. With the 40$ try out as many classes as you want for a week with no commitment you can’t go wrong . I’d recommend Tru North Martial arts to anyone young and old . Definetly try it out .
I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Royce Gracie Academy and Professor Joshua! Our experience has been nothing short of amazing - for our 8 year old, somewhat shy daughter - Joshua produces the perfect environment by creating a combination of calmness, acceptance and kindness mixed with the steadfast adherence to meeting goals, consistent expectations and challenging his students. My husband has started there as well and the experience has been equally as wonderful - as soon as our son is old enough to attend, we plan to make it a full family experience for all of us. We are beyond grateful to be a part of the Royce Gracie Academy of Mt. Pleasant and under the tutelage of Professor Joshua! I can count on one hand the amount of reviews I've ever written online, mainly because I really have to believe in something strongly to share my thoughts to the masses and this review is at the all time top of my list...
