What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Lucas Dorneles
"I scheduled a trial class and decided to enrolled at the moment it was done. One class was all that took. The place has a really good atmosphere and everyone is welcoming. I’ll complete one month and feeling hungrier to learn day after day. If you are looking for a place to learn something new and enjoy the process, GB Chesterfield is right to you."
Paul Marion
"My family is so grateful for Gracie Barra Chesterfield. Their care and kindness towards our children is amazing. My 9 and 7 year old can’t stop talking about how much fun they have. So thankful we found this place!!!!!"
Rebecca Landry
"We are so impressed with the progress our son has made in only a few months. His confidence level, self control, and knowledge of proper self defense. Professor Kyle and Coach Alyssa are so patient with the kids, and also redirect them as needed to treat the children equally. We love it here, and can’t wait for our youngest to start."
Nick Barrett
"This is a safe, bright, and clean academy with world class jiu jitsu instruction, a family-friendly atmosphere, and fair pricing. If you’re on the fence, just try a free class, and you won’t be disappointed!"
