"We have 3 of our kids going two times a week. They all have loved the structure and promotions that they receive through their growth and consistency in attendance. Has been great for my young boys, they do warm ups where they have to army crawl, bear crawl and different movements. It’s been great to see their coordination and body awareness increase since we started. Coach Dean is great! Seen him calm down many anxious kids and get them having a great time on the mat, highly recommend!"
"We were on the hunt for an elite BJJ gym that would provide our children with the perfect environment to thrive, be challenged, and build confidence. This gym has exceeded every expectation, offering not just top-tier coaching but an incredible community of like-minded, goal-driven individuals. Slowly, my husband joined as well, and as a woman and mother, I’m so grateful for the women’s class. Professora Priscilla has created a safe, empowering environment where women can train and grow. Whether you’re searching for a gym for your children or for yourself, stop looking. Come visit and see it for yourself—this is the place where you’ll find everything you’re looking for and more. Don’t wait—take the first step and join this amazing community today!"
"Took my two daughters who train in GB Long Beach while we were in town, super welcoming from Professor Juan and Cory. Beautiful facility, great kids program. My girls had fun taking their Saturday morning class on our visit. Coaches, staff, students and parents at this location are friendly and welcoming. I would recommend this bjj location if you're in the area of Jacksonville. Thanks so much!"
"Great Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy for kids and adults in Jacksonville. Very cool and chilled vibe. If you want to train more competitively, this is the place. If you just want to learn and sweat, this is the place for you. Thank you Gracie Barra Jacksonville"
