Gracie Barra Peoria - Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Self Defense

“My family has been attending classes here for a little over a year. The school has an amazing culture. The coaches and professors are awesome at pushing kids (and adults) just past their comfort zone. They make it so my 7 year old son begs to go to jiu jitsu and roll with his friends.”

“> Great place… safe for kids, clean areas (mats, bathrooms, the gym in general). > Knowledgeable professors/coaches… my kids love training here and enjoy being here > There is a great focus on training the kids for tournaments… which is great for kids to learn how to stand up for themselves when encountered/dealing with kids they don’t know”

“My grandson had been going now for a few months. He enjoys it and good self defense. The professor is patient and very good with the kids. Mina at the front desk is very personable and sweet. Everyone here is super nice.”

“This place is AMAZING!! Professor Dan, Coach Zuza, and Coach Mina have a spectacular talent for balancing discipline, technique, and fun!! My nine year old daughter is showing empowerment and improved self-confidence, her second week in!! Two and a half years later, and we still love this place!! She now has several competitions behind her, and is excited for one in February, and one more in March!!”

“Professor Dan, and all of the professors are amazing, so patient and knowledgeable! If you’re considering signing up your child or yourself for jiu jitsu look no place else; this is the place!”
