What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

giovana lee

"GBA is a great place to have your kids train and also for adults too. Both my son and I love training there. Professor Dana teaches a lot of cool techniques that helped my child win his first jiu-jitsu competition a few weeks ago. Not to mention they won first place in best kids GI school. If you’re looking for a tight knit community for both parents and kids GBA and GBL are the place to be, you will find new friends and training partners."

Sharleanjoy Grinups

"Gracie Barra has been so beneficial to my granddaughter. The growth in her self confidence, assertiveness, attention and competitiveness has increased since starting in November. I highly recommend this class for children. The instructors know how to relate to the children, teach real moves and most of all make it fun. She cannot wait to come to class."

Rob Smith

"My children and I attend this location, and it has truly become a second home for us. It all began with me taking classes and loving the experience, and soon after, my children wanted to join, and they absolutely love it as well. The professors make you feel like you've been there for years, even on your very first day. The other parents and kids follow suit, and everyone treats each other with respect and kindness. The techniques taught are exactly what I was looking for, and the instruction is at a pace that is easy to understand. I will forever be a part of the Gracie Barra family."

Megan S

"Incredible experience with multiple kids in the 3-6 year old class. The professors and coaches do a fantastic job blending kindness, technique, and age appropriate discipline. Classes are well structured and staffed and the boys have fun. Would recommend to anyone!"
