What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Ryan Calhoun
"My wife and I were wanting to put our boys (5,3) into some sort of martial arts class. We did a few different trials, Gracie Barra being the final. After the class, we asked both of them which class they liked the most and it was a unanimous decision, Gracie Barra. Both boys have been in class just about a month and love it. We felt welcomed from day one, it truly feels like a family and a community. Professor Brian is uniquely gifted in teaching these kids and they are and will continue to develop skills that will help them for the rest of their life. Natalie is incredible in answering any and all questions you might have. I'm very thankful we found Gracie Barra and hope to be there for a long, long time. Eventually, my wife and I would like to sign up as well and start training, barring our schedules. If you have kids or if you're interested yourself I highly recommend Gracie Barra Brentwood."
Dustin Del Rio
"Starting Gracie Barra Jiujitsu at 38 has been a great decision. I was struggling to feel like a mover again after back surgery a little over a year ago. This natural human movement has really helped me regain strength and confidence back in this beat up body. Feeling good continuing to learn and grow while meeting a great group of people as well. Professor Brian and Coach Nat are outstanding on and off the mat, great place to learn Jiujitsu!"
Jordan Stephenson
"The facility is amazing inside and out. It's in a great location that's easy to get to, and has a ton of mat space for training. Brian and Natalie are some of the nicest people I've met, and have a great passion for BJJ. Professor Brian is a very experienced black belt that anyone can learn a lot from. I'd recommend this gym to anyone in the area!"
Joseph Walston
"We are very pleased with our children's participation at Gracie Barra Brentwood. Our 8 year old twins (boy/girl) have been strengthening their bodies and minds in their 9 months of regular workouts. Professor Brian and Coach Natalie are professional and caring in the training of adults and children of all ages. We encourage anyone interested in solid strengthening and expert martial arts to attend."
