Gracie Barra McCormick

“I had the privilege of working and training with Professor Vivi Almeida, a female Gracie Barra ambassador, when she was here in Brazil. That's how I learned about Gracie Barra McCormick Ranch and it's been one of the best decisions I've made for my training. I can't say enough good things about this school, and a big part of that is thanks to the amazing owners - Professor Flavio Almeida, Vivi Almeida, and Dave Weber. These three are some of the most knowledgeable and dedicated instructors I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. They really go above and beyond to make sure everyone feels welcomed and supported, regardless of skill level. I truly feel like part of the Gracie Barra family thanks to them. If you're looking for a gym with fantastic instructors and a supportive community, you won't find a better option than Gracie Barra McCormick Ranch.”

“I disabled with short arms and I came in for a tryout class and most coaches I've worked with always try to make me use my arms/hands to do something and obviously I can't do it. I can't remember the coaches name but he worked with me to figure out what works.. can't wait to get started with you guys.”

“This is my second time visiting this school while on vacation. I love the family atmosphere and the great hospitality. Thank you Profess!”

“Excellent school! The instructors are world class and they focus on building a strong foundation to understand BJJ. They have class times to fit your schedule and a great group of guys and gals to train with. It is a welcoming environment no matter what your skill level.”

“If you are curious about jiu jitsu and don’t know where to begin this is the school for you! Incredible coaching clean space and friendly community! The female program is especially special - something few BJJ schools offer. Learn self defense in a fun atmosphere! I LOVE Gracie Barra McCormick Ranch.”
