What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Mary Klemencic
"Pure awesomeness! My grandson (aka Big Dog) the nickname given to him by Professor thrives on the programming offered here. Professor and his team are amazing. My grandson is big for his age and people think he is much older than he is. Professor and the coaches have totally improved my grandson's self-esteem, confidence, and pride. The mat has given him a healthy dose of a competitive edge. I am very grateful for the Gracie Barra Beaver County Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Self Defense Team."
Joseph Merlino
"Update: I still drive a half hour each way 4 days a week(most weeks) to come to this gym. Coach Tim creates a welcoming, safe,and inclusive, atmosphere for students of all shapes,sizes,and skill levels. I am so happy I found this place. I have made so many friends, gotten my self back in shape. I recommend this place without reservation. Almost 6 years later I am still here. The culture at the gym is amazing everyone is so welcoming, our instructors are top notch and we go hard on the mats and still take care of each other. After a long day at work I look forward to getting to class and be with my people."
Cameron Grace
"Top tier facility with top tier instructors. Professor Tim and the entire staff are knowledgeable in all aspects of their craft and take whatever approach necessary to help students learn safely and effectively! Definitely highly recommend Gracie Barra in Beaver County, PA!"
Cate Colesar
"Hands down the best Jiu Jitsu gym in the area. We have tried others and been underwelmed. Professor Tim and all of the coaches do an excellent job instructing in the large group format and then breaking it out into smaller groups and being able to work with kids in a more personalized way. Our kids have grown so much and become much more confident not only on the mats but off. The gym is clean and welcoming, and awesome people pouring into the students here!"
