Gracie Barra Clermont

"Very effective family orientated self-defense school. Professors and coaches are very knowledgeable. Love everything about the school."

"Giving it four stars as of now because we want to give it another review after a couple of months. We enrolled our four and a half year old daughter after her first trial class today... We really like the no nonsense teaching style, and the very large and spacious training facility. In the tiny tots class, they were almost 25 to 30 toddlers, but the three coaches managed the class perfectly. Looking forward to making this a long-term learning experience for our daughter.. P.S. in January they have a promotion going on where they waive off the registration fee, go take advantage of the free trial class and see if you like it !"

"This is the closest Gracie-Barra academy to my location which is > an hour north. Driving all the way down here is absolutely worth it, just to receive the phenomenal training this place provides. Having the opportunity to train from a bona-fide Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) coral belt is something many practitioners will never experience, but here, Master Marcio Simas takes BJJ training to a whole new level. His passion and knowledge encourages students to continuously strive to do their best, thereby leaving the mats better than when they arrived. I highly recommend this place!"

"These guys are family, self-defense and competitions, they are awesome. I am on the family plan. Master Marcio is great, he does the real life no-gi self-defense that I live for. And my son won his first competition tournament and now my wife loves it. No egos, just great people and training."
