Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
C Provenzano
"I could not recommend an academy more highly than Gracie Barra Birmingham. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable, kind, patient and supportive. The clientele here is welcoming and it keeps you coming back each day. I will continue to train here for years to come."
Jon tanner
"Immediately felt like family when I walked in the doors! I train with a different organization but that didn't bother them in the slightest. Fantastic instruction not only one how to do the technique but also the principles for the situation. Looking forward to stop in again when I travel through the area!"
Ronald McClain
"A nice clean academy, albeit small for the mat size. The staff and professor were very friendly. Look forward to trying there again. The whole team helps build one another as they should."
Mark Richardson
"Great environment to learn jiu jitsu! I appreciate how each coach not only has a passion for jiu jitsu, but they also care for me and all the other students as a person. The coaches pay great attention to safety, which is vital to be able to consistently train. I want to say more but there are too many good things to say. If your still reading this review you should come by and visit us!"
