Gracie Barra Washington

“The Gracie Barra gym in Washington, MO is an excellent place to train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Professor Tyler is very knowledgeable and extremely professional. I would recommend this gym to any person of any age group. If you have even the slightest interest or desire to train Jiu-Jitsu, I encourage you to stop by and talk to Professor Tyler, and come in for the introductory class. The coaches are great with kids and take their education seriously. Not only do the kids (and adults) learn Jiu-Jitsu, but they learn life skills, how to interact with others politely and with good manners, and a healthy respect for authority. For myself, this has been a life-changing, and humbling experience. Not only are the instructors excellent, but the comradery I am finding here is fantastic. Everyone you train with has a great attitude and only wants to help you get better. Ego's get checked at the door and Professor Tyler is excellent at keeping things this way. I look forward to training here for many years to come.”

“I'm very pleased with this place after signing up my 5 year old about 6 weeks ago. Coaches are great. They teach discipline, respect, sportsmanship, and hard work! My kid has shown great improvements not just in class, but his overall behavior at home as well. Not to mention, BJJ is by far the most practical martial art for self defense techniques and has been proven to work!”

“My kids go here for jiu jitsu and they love it. They're 5 and 7 and coach Tyler does an amazing job balancing coaching with a heavy dose patience for all the random events that come with ones still little. The atmosphere is also amazing, they treat everyone like family.”

“I had a chance to train at this gym while on vacation. I wanted to take the time to write a review because I had such a positive experience. I've trained at a lot of gyms over the years and Gracie Barra Washington is one of the tops. Excellent instructor and an overall great training vibe. If you live in the area I would definitely check them out.”

“We’re very thankful for the fantastic instructors at Gracie Barra. In the nearly two years since our son joined, his skills, confidence, and competitive drive have grown even more than we’d hoped! He loves competing, and has formed some great friendships. I only wish we had signed him up earlier!”
