Gracie Barra Southlake

“We joined this gym after moving to Keller from Rockwall. There is a night and day difference from the gym we attended out there. The head professor Sam is top notch. They have multiple black belt instructors every class. A very clean facility and the owners are always on site. The boys love coming to class and even competed within their first month. Highly recommended”

“I can't say enough good things about this place, specifically the summer camp! The coach was fantastic, providing excellent guidance and technique instruction. The variety of games, exercises, and activities kept my children engaged and excited every day. Plus, the delicious food and the warm, welcoming atmosphere made them feel right at home as we are originally from Australia. It's clear that the team behind this camp truly cares about creating a memorable and enriching experience for kids. We'll be coming back next holiday!”

“Gracie Barra Southlake is hands down the BEST Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy in the area! From the moment you step into the studio, you can feel the superior quality of the facility—it's clean, spacious, and designed to create the perfect environment for training.

You won’t find a better academy anywhere!”

“Life transformative! This school has changed the lives of my family in so many positive ways. We are so grateful for the sport and knowledge of Jiu-jitsu. This Martial art has made us better physically, lowering blood pressure and helping us lose weight, strengthening our bodies and minds! That is just the obvious benefits, while the professors and the owners are the highest quality of people! We are so thankful to have friendships and to work alongside some of the kindest, thoughtful, generous and caring people ever. While my husband has been in the school for over a year, I recently joined because as a woman I had hesitations about the sport and training with men. But the guys here are so kind and respectful of me. The professors are understanding and work with my own progression. These people really care about your development as an individual. They really care about your kids becoming better at the Martial art and developing good attitudes. I love watching the kids become better at the physical challenges jiu-jitsu brings but also the mental strength it encourages kids to have. This sport means you lose a lot, and you might even get a little hurt but to learn how to keep going, stand back up and try again is so important for children and adults! I am so thankful for this school, it has been such a positive influence on my entire family and I am so excited to continue to learn here!”
