Our History:
Gracie United-Team Jucao South, Hancock County owner Sarah Lebeau began her martial arts journey with karate before switching to BJJ in 2014. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training built her self-defense skills and her passion for it was instant. In 2018, Gracie United-Team Jucao South, Hancock County was nearly closed due to lack of ownership. Sarah stepped up in order to keep the BJJ community alive in Bay St. Louis. Her passion for giving back to the small Hancock County community and building strong, confident individuals motivated her to step up to the challenge. Sarah takes great pride in her school being woman-owned. The achievements and perseverance she faced on her martial arts journey speaks to her capabilities. Now, she strives to set an example for all individuals to realize their potential.
