From the reviews

The newest jiu jitsu school in the area is nothing but top notch. I am constantly traveling for work and always look for places to train where ever work takes me. Well on my recent trip to Anniston, AL I found this school.

★★★★★ — Matthew, Mar 2015

The instructor helped me figure out different ways to set in moves and positions i only got one arm and he is great at what he does and has very high patience if you want to learn how to fight or work out this is the place, would give it 10 stars if possible

★★★★★ — Chelsey, May 2019

We were in town to get my daughter set up for college. She has been training for 4 years and will need a Jiu-jitsu gym when she moves. This will be her new go to. Hands down she loved the instructor and found the students knowledgeable and welcoming. Great - friendly - professional school. Highly recommended.

Your first kickboxing class at Gracie Barra Anniston / Evolution Strength & Conditioning

Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
