Stephanie Delfino
"My son started a few months ago his Jiu Jitsu journey, we are so happy we found this school. They’re great for little kids and actually teach practical skills and self defense. Looking forward to continuing to see my kid grow his Jiu Jitsu skills."
Erin B.
"We have 2 children enrolled at Gracie Barra Fort Lauderdale. Our son for nearly 3 years and our daughter for 1 year. The classes provide opportunities to learn discipline, self-control, anti-bullying tactics and leadership skills. Both of our children have improved in confidence and body technique since joining Gracie Barra & we like that this is a sport they can practice well into adulthood."
Gabriel Davis
"Great location. I've traveled to many Gracie Barra locations including Dubai, Rome, and Dublin, and the techniques and hospitality was one of the best. Great experience. Definitely would recommend."

"GB Fort Lauderdale is a great all inclusive gym. I wanted to start my BJJ journey and I stopped into some other BJJ gyms around town, GBFL was the last one and they were immediately welcoming. I am 6 months in now and absolutely love this gym. The professors Joao and Cafe are very professional and extremely knowledgeable. They take their time in the way they teach the curriculum. GBFL focuses on respect, discipline and being a team. Scheduling is convenient and the professors never rush us out for live training. Raissa is also amazing, not only is she involved with the female students, but she also runs the front and makes sure we all have what we need. I am happy I waked in GBFL and look forward to going to class every time. Made some new friends and really enjoy the camaraderie with my teammates . Highly recommend this spot if you are looking to start a journey in BJJ as well."
