What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

D P

"As someone who's had the opportunity to train at two other gyms prior to finding Gracie Barra, I can confidently say this place stands out as the best in the region. Whether you're looking to get into Jiu Jitsu for fitness, competition, or personal growth, Gracie Barra offers an exceptional training environment that caters to both adults and children. From the moment you step onto the mat, you're greeted with a welcoming, respectful, and family-friendly atmosphere. The culture of camaraderie here is truly special. The instructors and fellow students create an environment that is not just about techniques, but about building a community. It’s the kind of place where everyone—from beginner to advanced—is encouraged, supported, and pushed to grow. I can say with certainty that Gracie Barra is in a league of its own when it comes to genuinely teaching the art of Jiu Jitsu. The instructors here don’t just focus on drills—they emphasize understanding the "why" behind each movement, fostering a deeper connection to the art. You’ll learn not only how to execute techniques but also how to think critically about Jiu Jitsu, how to apply concepts strategically, and how to improve every time you step on and off the mats. We’re truly grateful to have this Gracie Barra in our area. It’s not just a gym, but a place where lifelong friendships are formed, and personal growth is celebrated. The welcoming nature of the gym, the depth of expertise, and the commitment to teaching Jiu Jitsu as an art make it the perfect place for anyone looking to train—whether you're an adult or child. I can wholeheartedly recommend Gracie Barra to anyone who wants to learn Jiu Jitsu in a positive, supportive, and professional environment."

JT Somers

The staff is very friendly and always seem to go the extra mile to assist families with any questions or concerns. I highly recommend Gracie Barra for your kids future."
