What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Erica Soares
"Gracie Barra Buda is a hidden gem! The moment you walk through the doors, you feel the sense of community and respect that Professor Dande has cultivated. He has a gift for making everyone—from kids to adults—feel empowered and capable. The team atmosphere here is second to none, and every class is taught with intention, care, and expertise. You can tell that Professor Dande and his instructors are not just teaching techniques—they’re building confidence and character. Highly recommend!"
Peter Salgado
"I CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH GREAT THINGS ABOUT G.B OF BUDA, IT'S A PLACE KIDS CAN GROW AND LEARN, THE INSTRUCTORS ARE THE VERY BEST! YOU GET A BIG BANG FOR YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY, THE TIME YOU GET FOR YOUR KIDS IS WORTH MUCH MORE THEN WHAT YOU PAY! IN THESE TIMES EVERYTHING COST TO MUCH FOR TOO LITTLE BUT NOT AT GRACIE BARRA! BRING YOUR KIDS AND LET THEM GROW WITH QUALITY INSTRUCTORS AND STUDENTS!"
Thomas Aven
"Safety, quality and integrity are just a few of the amazing core values at Gracie Barra, Buda. The only regret that I have is that I did not begin practicing jujitsu sooner at Gracie Barra (Buda). Amazing leadership, outstanding training, Phenomenal leadership."
Aaron Simmons
"My son has been training here for about 10 months and it is one of the best things that has ever happened to him. He was being pushed around in middle school and was not confident enough to stand up for himself. EVERYTHING has changed for him now and he is a completely different kid. More friends, more outgoing, stronger, more respectful, more confidence, and the best of all, no more being picked on. He owes it all to the amazing professors, coaches, parents, and classmates at this location. I own them big time for helping my son. I would give them 10 stars if it would let me."
