Gracie Barra North Orlando Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

“My 5-year-old daughter transferred to this dojo in December, and I have seen significant improvement in her skills and confidence. The dedication and patience that each instructor provides to every student is inspiring. As an introvert, I initially felt uneasy, but Professor Lawrence put all my fears at ease from our very first conversation. The dojo has become like a second family for my daughter and even me as a parent. Before joining, my daughter barely spoke to anyone, but within a couple of weeks, she came out of her shell, and now this place feels like her second home. The skills she has learned have positively impacted her performance at school and at home in ways I never expected. I am beyond grateful to have found this dojo.”

“My son has been training here for about two years and it's been such an amazing experience for him. The professors are phenomenal with the kids and help them develop at their own pace in a safe, fun, and positive environment. We've both made some great friends there. Can't recommend GB North Orlando BJJ enough!”

“Our son loves Gracie Barra North Orlando. Professor Lawrence always finds him the perfect partner so he gets a great workout in a safe and friendly environment. I love the discipline that they teach and you can tell they take pride in all of their students. We would highly recommend it!”

“As a proud father and supporter of my son who has trained for two years in fundamental and competition training. Im grateful to have Prof. Lawrence as a teacher and he's earned my trust with my son's achievements. He's been the same person since day one and I'll recommend him to any parent who is reading this review.”

“Joining Gracie Barra North Orlando has been one of the most meaningful decisions I’ve made—not just for my jiu jitsu journey, but for my growth as a person. Professors Gutty and Lawerance have created an environment that is equal parts inviting, challenging, and empowering. From day one, they’ve made the mats feel like home. Their instruction is top-tier, no question—but what truly sets them apart is how deeply they care about each student’s growth both on and off the mat. Through every drill, every roll, and every lesson, they weave in wisdom that goes well beyond technique. Some of the most valuable takeaways I’ve gained from jiu jitsu weren’t about submissions or escapes—they were about myself. I’ve learned resilience. Humility. Patience. The importance of showing up fully and consistently, even when things get tough. Gracie Barra North Orlando isn't just a gym—it’s a community, a classroom, and a place where you rediscover what you’re capable of. If you're looking for world-class instruction and transformative personal growth, this is the place.”
