What Our Students Say

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

Amber McKinney

"Gracie Barra Lindale is a truly special place. It's more than an after school activity- it's a community. What Stephanie and Eduardo have created here is truly life changing for these kids! Our son was struggling to comply in school, often in trouble for his behavior, and it was a huge strain trying to figure out how to help him (and trust me, we were trying everything). Within a few months of joining GB, his school teachers and administrators were saying- "Whatever you guys are doing is working. He's a new kid and is much more regulated and has matured a lot. He truly turned a corner." (okay, what moms need to hear this?!) What was the main thing that changed at this turning point? Joining GB Lindale! We started off going twice a week, and he was asking every day to go back. Jiu-jitsu itself helped meet the sensory needs of a young boy, and the professors have helped him learn not just physical skills, but soft skills as well. We can't recommend this place enough- They truly care about these kiddos! Heck, I've even joined the GB Fit class myself. You'll come for the jiu-jitsu, but you'll stay for the community."

Kaitlin Adkins

"Our daughter has been doing Jujitsu with GB Lindale for over six months and has improved her discipline, resilience, strength and patience on and off that mat under the teachings of Prof. Fred as well as all the other amazing coaches. The community of parents and students here are incredible. I have felt so welcomed that I joined 2 months ago and it's a real game changer."

Christina Lozito

"Gracie Barra and its staff are incredible! Every employee genuinely cares about the children. My two boys, ages 6 and 4, have been attending for a year, and the growth in their discipline and self-defense skills has been remarkable. I’ve also noticed improvements in their performance in other sports, thanks to the discipline they’ve gained at Gracie Barra. On a personal note, I’ve joined the women’s fitness class (Barra Fit) and have met so many wonderful ladies. It’s helped me take control of my health, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I can’t say enough good things about Gracie Barra!"

Danny Josselet
