My daughter has been attending class at Gracie Barra for about 3 months and absolutely loves it! The teachers are incredible with the kids - very patient and supportive but also very knowledgeable. We’ve tried several different sports and activities, and my daughter hasn’t taken to almost anything quite like Jiu Jitsu here at GB.

Reviews
Coming in I was immediately welcomed. Everybody was friendly, inviting, and put out a great atmosphere. Fabio is a amazing instructor showing every little detail and always open to questions and help with techniques. 5 out of 5 in my book and perfect place to either begin your bjj journey or pick up again.
This is my gym and I have been attending for 2 years. It has a wonderful professor who is skilled and kind. Lots of options for class times and great for kids and adults who want to grow confidence
