I have been training at Gracie Barra Tyler for about a year and a half and have absolutely enjoyed it! Gracie Barra Tyler is a clean and welcoming gym with a great culture. Classes are very well organized with warm ups, followed by techniques, and plenty of time for free sparring. The classes are a very nice mix of competitors and recreational members. Professors Toxa, Rock, Steve and Ben and the coaches, Thalita, Frank, and Joaquin along with the rest of the regular crew are all phenomenal and knowledgeable at Jiu Jitsu. I know Gracie Barra sometimes gets a bad rap in the online Jiu Jitsu community but you would be doing yourself a disservice if you don’t come by and at least give the trial class a go and see what they mean by Jiu Jitsu for Everyone!

I would like to start off by saying how grateful for this academy I am. World class instructors who believe in excellence and bring a great authentic feel to BJJ. My children and I greatly benefit from the instruction of the professors and coaches here. Great place for kids and adults of all ages seeking to gain mental strength and a physical education in applied Juijitsu. Muito Obrigado many thanks to Toxa,Pedro, Steve, Talitha and everyone at this school.

Gracie Barra Tyler is a good place to learn the fundamental techniques of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and train. Everyone here is friendly and quick to help regardless of athletic ability or age. They live up to their slogan of “Jiu-jitsu for everyone”, you can tell it is built into their culture. Try a free class and see for yourself.

Seemed to be good for grandkids. Grandkids needed to stop going but they kept charging me. $324.22 later, I'm very disappointed with this service.

I am beyond excited to be drilling moves longer! I finally feel like I'm unlocking tools I wasn't grasping previously. Sticking to working the same move over and over is where it's at. We can never master anything if we are constantly moving on so fast. LOVING this new training style. I've been training a year and finally feel a lot more "light bulb" moments. Drilling over and over is a must. PLEASE stick with this training! I am beyond grateful and blessed for my GB Tyler family! I look forward to seeing my people every time I train!
