I was in town for work and was able to drop into two classes while there. This was probably the most welcoming academy I've visited while traveling. Everyone was great. Prof Leticia and Prof Fabricio were extremely kind, taking time away from their own students to help me practice. I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area again. Highly recommended!

I joined this BJJ Academy about three months ago and absolutely love it. Our professor, Letty, is is an unbelievable teacher and truly cares about her program. I love this community!

My children have been training with Gracie Humaita Southbay under Leticia Ribeiro for almost 2 years now. My wife and I are also training. There isn’t a better environment to learn bjj or self defense. Fabricio Camoes and Leticia Ribeiro are famous and decorated bjj and mma practitioners who trained directly under the founding family of bjj. Their experience and wisdom is unmatched. Moreover, they are some of the best people I know. They are dedicated and kind. They treat the kids with love and respect and command the same in return. I was riding with my daughter the other night. She said to me, “since you started training, you have been a better daddy and I think mama sees that too.” I couldn’t talk for a moment I was so choked up. I cannot recommend GSB highly enough. BJJ in general, but Leticia and Morango specifically, have been a true miracle. I only wish I could have started as a kid.
