Gracie Barra Beaver County Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Self Defense

“Felt like part of the GB family the moment we stepped foot in the gym. Our sons have been a part of this academy since 2020 and they love not only the sport but also the coaches and the other students - and so do we! Family friendly, CLEAN, and organized.”

“This is an easy 5/5 stars. I started my journey in May of 2023 and could not be happier where I'm at. I started at another gym in the area and due to circumstances out of my control and overall toxic work environment/gym drama, I found my way to Gracia Barra. Professor Tim is the real deal and the team, culture, and atmosphere that he has built is top notch. If you're looking for a clean gym, healthy atmosphere, drama free work place, awesome crowd, look no further. I have been to 7 or 8 different gyms in my travels during my journey and I'm super happy I've found home base.”

“Update: I still drive a half hour each way 4 days a week(most weeks) to come to this gym. Coach Tim creates a welcoming, safe,and inclusive, atmosphere for students of all shapes,sizes,and skill levels. I am so happy I found this place. I have made so many friends, gotten my self back in shape. I recommend this place with out reservation. Almost 5 years later I am still here. The culture at the gym is amazing everyone is so welcoming, our instructors are top notch and we go hard on the mats and still take care of each other. After a long day at work I look forward to getting to class and be with my people.”

“Hands down the best Jiu Jitsu gym in the area. We have tried others and been underwelmed. Professor Tim and all of the coaches do an excellent job instructing in the large group format and then breaking it out into smaller groups and being able to work with kids in a more personalized way. Our kids have grown so much and become much more confident not only on the mats but off. The gym is clean and welcoming, and awesome people pouring into the students here!”

“I travel around the country for work, and I’m always looking for great places to train. Professor Tim and his team were extremely welcoming to me as an out-of-towner, and they took good care of me while I was there. The techniques were well taught, and the students were well coached. I’ll be back when I’m in the area again.”
