“I highly recommend Gracie Barra Headquarters! The gym is always clean, and the Instructors is really skilled and great at explaining the techniques. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. Whether you're a beginner or have experience, you'll feel right at home here. Highly recommend!”

“Just recently did a drop in here for the all levels class in the morning. Got a dose of everything from self defense including drilling the double leg takedown to drilling techniques for competition jiu jitsu (with a few techniques that I will keep in my arsenal). The class structure was a quick warm up, self defense, sport jiu jitsu, and sparring. I dont do self defense at my home academy but I love that Gracie barra still holds onto their tradition of integrating Jiu jitsu with self defense and not just competition jiu jitsu alone so every student can apply jiu jitsu in the real world as well as in competition. The upper belts here are tough and very competitive. I got a 4-5 rounds of hard rolls in and I was completely drained and drenched in sweat after. for the white belts, its only three stripe and above to roll here. Overall, Good techniques, Very useful Self defense, competitve rolls, and a very good workout. I will drop in again.”

“We've been training at this studio for about two and a half years now, and it's been an outstanding experience. The entire staff is courteous, respectful, and professional. The instructors are excellent at breaking down techniques and concepts in a way that applies to both self-defense and sport Jiu-Jitsu. Their instruction is detailed, and they consistently go above and beyond to support individual students when questions come up during class. What really sets this place apart is the atmosphere they’ve built—fun, friendly, and safe for both kids and adults. While we've never had any issues, it's clear that the staff is approachable and open to addressing concerns if they were to arise. In the kids’ classes, the team of instructors and coaches does a fantastic job making sure every child has a positive experience. They actively rotate around the room to provide guidance, give feedback, and ensure everyone is engaged and supported. Over the years, I’ve watched kids feel comfortable walking up to the instructors—not just to ask about techniques, but also just to connect. That kind of environment speaks volumes about the culture this team has created. Thanks to the whole team for providing my family and me with such a fun and positive space to learn this martial art.”
