My son absolutely loves training here. In the past year, he has gained so much confidence and also strength. The classes are a great size to allow for individual instruction and goal setting. I could not recommend Gracie Lake Norman enough for your child.

Our boys have been coming here for a couple of months now, and I swear, I have as much fun watching as they do learning. I can't count how many times I've had to restrain myself from cheering or even running out to high five or hug Ranard as he's teaching and coaching not just self-defense but LIFE & REALITY. I'm glad we found this for the boys.

My daughter and I have been going to Gracie Lake Norman for just over a year. Initially, my daughter spent her first couple of months avoiding the mat, but we kept making sure she would get back to class and start participating, and today you wouldn’t have guessed how her journey started. The adult classes are great. Awesome group of people to train and grow with so far. I can’t thank you guys enough for all your time and work you’ve invested in us.
