Gracie Barra Lake Park | Flórida

“I have been training at Gracie Barra Lake Park for a little less than a year now, and it has been truly life-changing. As someone who had never done Jiu-Jitsu before, I was initially timid, but Professor Bernardo’s energy is unlike any other. He understands that each student progresses at their own pace while also pushing you to be the best you can be. I originally joined to improve my physical health, but Jiu-Jitsu at Lake Park offers so much more than just exercise. If you have any interest, I highly recommend trying a trial class—you’ll find not only great training but also a strong and supportive community at Gracie Barra Lake Park.”

“Bernardo is a class act in my book! Very professional, and very welcoming. The academy smells fresh and is clean and well organized. The bathrooms are modern and clean, a lot of gyms overlook the clean part. The way Bernardo teaches is easy to digest, the culture of this gym is top notch and a family vibe. Amazing experience we will return.”

“I want to extend a huge thank you to Bernardo for letting us come train at Gracie Barra Lake Park! The gym was incredibly welcoming, and everyone we met was so nice and helpful. Bernardo is a fantastic teacher who runs a great class. His attention to detail and passion for Jiu-Jitsu really shine through. Thanks again, Bernardo, for the awesome experience – we look forward to coming back!”

“Wow, what a wonderful experience Gracie Barra Lake Park has been for our family! We have been to other Gracie Barra locations in the past. However, we are fortunate that this one has been the best and such a convenient location as well! Our son is 7 years old, and Professor Bernardo has been particularly special for these children. His patience, dedication, knowledge, and skill have given our son a huge confidence boost while absolutely having a blast with other children within the classes. Totally kid and family friendly environment and couldn't be happier! If you're even thinking about trying jiu-jitsu, look no further!!”

“A huge thank you for exposing us to your culture, the art and history behind jujitsu, and the power/technique you awaken and taught us! The facility is clean, and inviting! Instruction is informative, attentive, and has great energy! I will be back!”
