Gracie Barra South Miami

“From the day I walked in I could tell this gym was different the energy was positive and genuine. The first person I met was “profe” Juan (an incredible instructor)who greeted me with a welcoming smile. He was confident kind and encouraging. After that Daniela was easy to work with through the registration process and very enthusiastic always smiling laughing and having fun but most of all very loving and caring to everyone she talks to specially the children. And to top it off Gus (owner and instructor) is world class! He’s very knowledgeable funny and tough, but most of all a gentleman, and along with his wife Lorena and Coach Susan (another incredible instructor) the place has a strong familial vibe. Great place to truly learn the art and culture of Jujitsu.”

“I recently started training at Gracie Barra, and man oh man… this is a damn good school. I’ve been to a few martial arts gyms before, but I’ve never seen one as well structured and professionally run as this. What really stands out is how focused and organized everything is. Their curriculum is very structured and absolutely fantastic!! They don’t just throw random techniques at you they drill one technique sometimes 2 or 3 repeatedly throughout the week, which is exactly how you build real skill. You can tell they understand that mastery comes from repetition and attention to detail. Yeah, some people complain about having to buy their uniform and follow the system, but honestly? For the quality of training you’re getting, it’s more than fair. The instructors are legit, the classes are on point, and the overall environment is welcoming but serious. If you're serious about learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu the right way, Gracie Barra is where you want to be.”

“This gym feels like home. The professors and staff are knowledgeable, caring towards the children and are building their self esteem and confidence while having fun. Daniela is the sweetest person we have ever met- she is amazing with kids. I love Gracie Barra !”
