Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Escondido Testimonials

My name is Dr. Ian Rassel and I am a chiropractor in Escondido. I was first introduced to Brazilian jiu-jitsu in college and had wanted to learn and train the art for many years. When I found Gracie Barra Escondido, I was overwhelmed with excitement. Not only would I be beginning my training but I had also found an exceptional instructor, master and friend. Master Magid Hage Sr. has been training Brazilian jiu-jitsu since 1995 and it has been a passion and lifestyle for him for 13 years.Both Magid Hage Jr. and Sr. have been instrumental in my personal training of jiu-jitsu. From Master Magid Hage, I receive the science and art of Brazilian jiu-jitsu with hands on instruction, personal coaching, and extreme passion for the art. With Magid Hage Jr. I get to refine my skills on a 14-year-old young man that could easily tap out most untrained adults! p>

In my two years of training at Gracie Barra Jiu Jitsu Escondido I have learned more than how to defend my self. Coordination and dexterity of my body have been the most rewarding side effects of training Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Being on a regular training schedule with Master Magid Hage has guided my personal growth in yoga, eating habits, balancing work and play, and even mental focus.

Anyone that is seeking a professional and positive experience with Brazilain jiu-jitsu, I highly recommend the Gracie Barra Jiu Jitsu Escondido system and the training of Master Magid Hage.

I saw the familiar Gracie Barra logo on a window while out at lunch and wrote down the number. I had never studied Jiu-Jitsu but I knew of it from Judo and it had always impressed me. I gave Magid Hage a call and tried a free lesson; immediately, I was hooked! The facilities are clean, the students like a family, and the instruction is top notch. Two of my children and I train regularly and love it. I recommend Jiu-Jitsu to everyone I meet and as far as I’m concerned there is only one place to practice, Gracie Barra Escondido Jiu Jitsu!

“One of the best things about learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Gracie Barra Escondido Jiu Jitsu  has been the friendly environment and the camaraderie among all the students there. They’re a very tight knit group of students, all of whom are there to learn and to help their teammates learn as well. Magid is a great instructor, and you can tell he really cares about his students. If any of his students have questions, he’s always willing to take the time to answer them. This makes the process of learning Jiu Jitsu enjoyable as well as educational.”

Coming from another Jiu Jitsu school, I was a little nervous about joining a new academy.  I was not sure how I would be accepted or how i would adapt to the new structure.  I was lucky to find Gracie Barra Jiu Jitsu Escondido through a friend’s referral.  Professor Magid and his students were very welcoming.  They were all excited and interested to learn what I had brought from my previous school and quick to share techniques and opinions of their own.  After a year now with the Gracie Barra Jiu Jitsu Escondido, I see that i had made the right decision.  The instruction and personal attention are unmatched, the atmosphere is warm and comfortable, and family we have is irreplaceable.  In my line of work, where the worst can happen in a split second, the training I receive at Gracie Barra Escondido Jiu Jitsu gives me peace of mind knowing that I am ready to handle any situation.
