“Having practiced a variety of martial arts over the last ~10 years, I’m certain Coach Mark and his Team of coaches at Gracie are THE best in the industry. Two words- WORLD CLASS. If you want to get in tip top shape, build mental and physical resilience, and learn an unfair advantage in Martial Arts- this is the place to be. It’s the real deal - hardcore competitors are built here but also those looking to be part of a positive and encouraging team who just want to get better.“

“We LOVE NOLA Aikido! My 11-yo looks forward to every practice session. As a parent, I appreciate how family-oriented the studio is: parents are always welcome to observe classes and Sensei Brian is very attuned to each student's strengths and needs. I especially love the way Aikido is a practice of both physical and mental mindfulness and agility, and Sensei Brian uses lessons to reinforce concepts of self-regulation and self-awareness, in ways that relate even off the mat. The monthly membership is reasonably priced and functions similarly to a yoga studio membership- kids are encouraged to attend as many classes as they like! Overall, the studio is a warm, welcoming, and encouraging space- a true MidCity gem!“

“I enrolled in my first class taught by Sensei Mikami on September 10, 1968. Other han learning one of the best martial arts taught by the best teacher,it layed the foundation for dealung with the hardships of life and all that it presented. This is what Sensei Mikami ingrained in me...confidence, discipline, values, character and the way to overcome all odds. It doesn't get any better than this. Never give up.

Their attention to the members of each class is incredible. I look forward to seeing where my son goes on his journey. He is currently a brown belt at 9 years old and already talks of working at Tiger Rock to help train incoming students. This says a lot about Master Lee and his amazing staff!“
