Gracie Barra Jefferson City Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Self Defense

“Back in January, my son and I signed up to start our journey with Gracie Barra Jefferson City. Within two weeks, my daughter wanted to start training! Not only were they welcoming from the get go, they were very patient and really took their time to teach the warm ups and techniques. They really care about their students. After a little while, I personally had to take a step back because of finances, but the kids were able to continue to train. Not only were they accommodating to that, they continued to treat me, even though I wasn’t a training member, like a member and family like they treat my kids. My kids absolutely love their coaches! Super respectful, super professional, super awesome at their craft! We love it here! Thanks GBJC!”

“We enrolled my four year old three months ago. He was struggling with ADHD, aggressions and impulse control. Since starting at Gracie Barra, his behaviors have gotten substantially better at both school and home due to the discipline they instill in the sport. All of the coaches have been great with him and take the extra time necessary to help children understand and correctly do the exercises and steps. They coaches are also great at making sure safety is a top priority. I couldn’t recommend them more.”

“Daughter has been attending classes for about 1.5 years. She loves it. We love it. The instructors are top notch, and genuinely care about their students progress. The owners are also stellar people. We're happy to be part of the GB Family.”

“Have been interested in BJJ for quite some time. I had last looked into it several months back and couldn't find anything close to home, and was kind of bummed about it. A week or so before Thanksgiving, I stumbled across Gracie Barra Jefferson City. They had recently opened up. I stopped in and the owners / coach were very inviting. They explained how everything works and within a day I found myself and 3 children (14, 10, 9) all out for age appropriate classes to try. The environment is definitely family friendly, and focuses on developing strength and knowledge. in a respectful and inviting atmosphere. I have only been around since November but they have already made an adjustment to the schedule to better accommodate the student growth and keep the classes grouped such that they facilitate the best possible learning environment the kids based on their age. They also added a Women's class on Monday nights that my oldest really enjoys. I highly recommend that anyone who thinks they might be interested, check them out.”

“Gracie Barra Jefferson City is awesome! We enrolled our 4 year old when we moved to town and have been nothing but impressed. All of the coaches are amazing and we are beyond impressed with the changes and the growth we’ve witnessed in our son. Facilities are always spotless and they go above and beyond to answer questions and create an amazing and empowering environment. We’re eagerly waiting for our 3 year old to turn four so she can start classes as well.”
