What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Drake Reyna
"My Year at Gracie Barra Corpus Christi. This place’s meaning to me is copious, and truly unique. I invite anyone to just come, sit down, and hear who we are. We are team, we are family. We are the individual stories that make us stronger, closer, and better; individually and as a people. I’ll go on for a while, so let me just get to the point - if you’ve read this far, there’s a reason. It’s time for you to step on our mats!"
charles mcwhinney
"Anytime I am in town I stop by here. They have a welcoming atmosphere and good, tough, safe training partners."
Jeremy Loflin
"If you are in corpus and like BJJ this is the spot. Very welcoming to visitors. The whole team was welcoming. Even though they had a tournament that weekend I was invited to partake in classes while I was in town. I only went to one because of my schedule but will return every time I am in town. I have trained for 18 years and this place is legit. Thank you guys."
hector villarreal
"Professor Leo and Arnold are very knowledgeable in their field. Big group of humble and respectful SHARKS!!!!! Lots of varieties of belts and styles in the camp. Definitely one of the best if not the best in Corpus for BJJ for kids and adults. Two years with Gracie Barra have been good to me and my knowledge has vastly improved and my alphabet is building."
