“Gracie barra had an incredible environment and welcoming community! I came by to visit for their no gi class and there was no judgement and warm welcomes from their world class coaching class!if you’re in search of a place to train look no further than this gym! You will feel right at home!”

“Professor Bernardo and Coach Michelle, the owners of Melbourne Gracie Barra Jiu Jitsu, far exceeded my expectations from the beginning. Coach Michelle went above and beyond when I Initially reached out to inquire about classes for my son. She responded so quickly, was super informative/knowledgeable and kind. My teenage son has been so motivated and excited to train here which has been a pleasant surprise! I also signed up for the women’s only self defense class that they offer and I’ve been loving the experience. For any parent looking into classes for their child, women looking for self defense classes or just anyone at any skill level looking to train Jiu Jitsu, I HIGHLY recommend you stop your search right here. You won’t be disappointed. I appreciate the highly skilled coaches always creating such a positive energy environment & genuine family atmosphere, it makes every training session enjoyable and fulfilling. Also, there’s great pricing and an excellent schedule available. We are grateful to be part of such an awesome community.”

“After bringing our son to the kids classes for 6 months I felt encouraged to join the adult classes. Coach Bernardo is knowledgeable and really cares about the safety of the students. It is a very friendly environment where beginners are treated respectfully by staff, coaches and more experienced students. I highly recommend Gracie Barra Melbourne to all of those who are struggling to keep committed with a regular gym and want to develop a new skill.”

“Me and my family started in February, I have been to a couple of different Jujistu gyms and did not feel welcomed. I felt like I was an outcast. However, when we came here for the first class we were welcomed so warmly. Coach Michelle and Professor Bernardo are exceptional trainers for my 4 year old daughter and very patient. I attend the women’s class and has helped me tremendously with self confidence and a much needed mental health break from the business of life. I am so glad to have found a wonderful community!!”

“If I could give 6 stars, I would. My kindergartner is very tall for her age and had been badly bullied, and beaten up by older kids on a local playground. Her personality went from happy and outgoing to nervous, anxious, and very shy. A few months later, Gracie Barra Melbourne was opening. I grew up knowing of Gracie Barra back home in Brooklyn, and reached out to a couple of friends who had partaken. They highly recommended it for my daughter’s situation. We have been at GBM for a month now, and the difference in my daughter was noticeable within 2 weeks by her school teachers. She is not just herself again- outgoing and happy- but more than that, she has gained confidence, self-belief, and discipline that she hadn’t before possessed. Professor Alex and Ms. Lilly are amazing with the younger kids that are in my daughter’s class. They make the sessions fun by involving games with new skills, and redirect attention when necessary. If you are considering Gracie Barra Melbourne for your kids, just go for it. If your kid is energetic, easily distracted, lacking confidence or discipline… this place and these people can help them focus and become their best selves.”
