What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Jesse Rivera
"Great family environment. We have 2 girls 12 & 6 who go for ju Jitsu and Muay Thai. Coach Muay and the team are patient and great teachers. This is true training, not like a karate class. The kids apply what they learn each session in sparing. It's not hard, just focused. My 3 yr old son has even been allowed to take part and will be full-on training next year."

"Just got my blue belt in jiu jitsu after 18 months of putting in the work. I’m ecstatic with the progress I’ve made, and I’m so excited to keep going. The atmosphere has remained positive and encouraging, the teachers and higher belts continue to foster a culture of respect and patience for all belt levels. I’ve made such wonderful friends along the way. 🥰 Everyone has become like family! 🥰"
Johnathon Ponce
"I've been training at Gracie Barra Burton for about a year now, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The staff here is fantastic, and I mostly work with Pav and Ryan who instruct Muay Thai. Both are incredibly knowledgeable and patient, making every class challenging yet rewarding. Every time I attend, I leave feeling like I've gotten a great workout and learned something new. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the community is supportive. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to train, whether you're a beginner or more experienced. Love this place!"
Amina Ahmed
"I love this gym. From day one, you’re treated like you’re already a part of the gym. The instruction is top tier. I’ve been to other gyms before, and comparatively, I’ve retained the most martial arts knowledge at this gym because of how the curriculum is set up. Highly recommend."
