What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Lerma Willett
"The academy felt like home as soon as we first walked in. My family joined when they first opened, Caitlyn and Ygor’s academy has been a great addition to the Fort O neighborhood. They both offer an awesome wealth of knowledge with jiujitsu and make learning fun and enjoyable for the kids especially. Whether you are a seasoned jiujitsu person or just beginner this is a great place to start. A few photos of our son with Professor Ygor, and his first jiujitsu competition."
Micah Goulart
"My wife and I have visited Gracie Barra Chattanooga numerous times and every time the experience is top-notch! Ygor is a great instructor with great jiu jitsu who welcomes all in the community like family. I absolutely recommend Gracie Barra Chattanooga to anyone in the area interested in starting their jiu jitsu journey, continuing it or if you want to drop in for good rolls in a great environment!"
Ericka Falavinha
"Training here was everything. Prof. Ygor & Caitlin were incredibly welcoming, especially to women and mamas on the mats. The energy was super supportive, and they’ve even got a cute little play area for the kids—which made showing up and training feel so much easier as a mom. The academy is clean, beautiful, and just feels like a place you want to keep coming back to."
Matthew Falavinha
"Had an opportunity to drop in for an open mat! Amazing mat space and great vibe. Professor Ygor was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable! Visiting from Dallas, I will be dropping in anytime I am in town! Highly recommend if you live in the area"
