What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Denise Morriss
"Gracie Barra Hannibal is a family friendly school. Our entire family has participated in one or more of the classes (ages: 6, 11, 21, 38, 40). My children display confidence and increased self esteem. The environment is one of respect for all. Coach Beau provides constructive feedback to ensure ongoing improvement both physically and emotionally. We couldn't be happier with Gracie Barra Hannibal and Coach Beau. It is truly our extended family."
Wilyne Lilo
"My son was staying with family for part of the summer. He attends our local MMA dojo in Maryland and I didn't want him to get complacent while out of town. My cousin and brother had told me about Gracie Barra and recommended that my son attend while he was there. My son absolutely enjoyed it. My family stated that the staff worked with him, assessed his skill level, and placed him in the correct class. The instructors were knowledgeable and worked great with all the children. I would definitely recommend this for any parent."

"Prof. Viehmann was kind enough to let me study with his school, while I visited my family for 3 weeks. He, and his students, were very welcoming, fun, and heavy. I had never been to a Gracie Barra before, and the experience was great. Got in some good rolls with some fun people and learned BJJ from a different perspective. I attended both the Beginners and Advanced classes on Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Not too formal, but also not too relaxed. Everyone is respectful, and Prof. Beau sets a good example. I'm glad to know that GB Hannibal is there for when I visit family. I had been practicing for a year and a half under Prof. Milam (RGAPDX), and seeing a different approach helped. Simply put: He was great, it was great. Thanks for the training, and sharing your secret ninja skills."
Joshua Reed
"I consider Gracie Barra Hannibal to be the premier martial arts and Jiu Jitsu school in the Quincy, IL / Hannibal, MO area. If you and/or your children are looking for a fun and challenging place to learn and workout, GB Hannibal deserves to be at the top of your list to consider. Unfortunately, I was only able to work out at GB Hannibal for a few short months before relocating for work, but noticed myself improving drastically in that time with the help of Coach Beau and the senior students. As someone that lived in Quincy, I can say it was well worth the short commute, and I would choose GB Hannibal again, despite there being closer, local schools in Quincy."
