Gracie Barra Celebration / Martial Arts School

“Thank you to Professor Rodrigo and all members of Gracie Barra for welcoming us to train while in town from out of state. The training and facilities were outstanding and the members are very talented and friendly. We definitely recommend training here for anyone in the Celebration area. Thank you guys again! We will see you again next time! 🙂”

“I’ve been training at Gracie Barra Celebration for almost a year now and I have nothing but good things to say about the school, the instructor, and my training partners. The culture of any gym always stems from the instructor. At GB Celebration Professor Rodrigo is always very friendly, patient, and offers top notch detailed instruction. I would highly recommend this gym for anyone interested in either trying jiu-jitsu or for more experienced players.”

“The kids class is a bit overcrowded for the space they have available. Rather than deal with this problem administratively, such as splitting up into smaller classes, separating skill levels, etc... the head coach seems to have adopted an unfortunate policy of encouraged attrition to reduce class size. For the most part, my six year old enjoyed their several months in the class, and developed some strong bonds with other very capable and empathetic coaches, volunteers, and students. In the end, though, I would rather find a place where my child is allowed to smile and enjoy running a lap, or is able to express displeasure at being kicked in the head, or is not singled out because they don't talk like others, or is not repeatedly penalized for the same contrived offense, or is able to be a kid like all the other kids around the room.”

“Great jujitsu academy. My son has really grown so much with his technique. He loves Gracie’s barra celebration and has made a lot of progress since he joined this location. The staff is great and friendly and coaches are really nice and committed in helping the students. We love it here.”

“Ryan is the best kids instructor I have ever seen! Professor Rodrigo provides clear and precise instructions. The atmosphere is that of a mentoring one. Great people they are very good training partners. Iam a 4 stripe brown belt. Hope to see you there Bill”
