"My family moved from NY recently. We needed a gym where our son could pick up where he left off after nearly 2 years practicing jujitsu. We looked at 6 different places. Without question, Gracie Barra was the best. After only 1 month, our son is thrilled. Excellent coaches and a warm friendly ,clean and inviting atmosphere all around."
Rachele Hauck
"Kicked my 3 year old son (one of the youngest in the class out) so I withdrew him. The classes were too big and they couldn’t keep him engaged. They charged me two months tuition for two months he did not attend. I would be fine just finding another activity for my son or going to another gym but they are stealing money from families when they can’t give enough time to all children in the class. Make it right and refund me for services you did not provide."
John Nelson
"I visit every year on vacation- love this place. Super clean, great people and very welcoming. They have every level from high competitors to hobbyists. Very safe and friendly rolls."
Lisa Farrell

Professor Joe and Coach Steve are so knowledgeable and genuinely love Jiu Jitsu and it shows in the way they teach .. fun but with discipline and structure. One class and you will be addicted !!"
