"I have two of my daughters training at Gracie Barra Andover, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The professor is outstanding — he truly takes his time with each student, making sure they learn not just the techniques, but also the discipline and confidence that come with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It’s a welcoming and respectful environment, and I’ve seen great improvement in both of my girls since they started. Highly recommend!"
