Gracie Barra Charleston Jiu-Jitsu & Self Defense

“As the parent of a six year old girl, I have been thrilled by GB's disciplined approach to teaching jiu jitsu. The professors and staff are professional and balance teaching a discipline and allowing kids to have fun. Their facilities are clean and maintained clean. They are also flexible in class schedule which any parent can appreciate. I cannot speak highly enough of the GB team!”

“The professionalism and experience was evident upon entering this gym. I cross train all over the country and the professors here could not have been more welcoming to an out of towners experience. The students were equally welcoming and showcased the etiquette of the gym. I could not recommend this gym enough for both those looking for a home gym and those passing through.”

“Today was my third class. I’m 46 years old and I’ve never done any form of BJJ or wrestling. It’s all very new to me so initially I felt apprehension. Those feelings were immediately dispelled within minutes of my first class. The entire staff at Gracie Barra made me feel extremely welcomed and my learning started very quickly. I’d also like to add that the students are just as friendly and helpful. This place is amazing and the workout is absolutely fantastic! Don’t hesitate. Stop in and try it out.”
