Leticia Klausner
"My son has been training at Gracie Barra Great Falls, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. He has primarily worked with Professor Fabiano, who has an incredible balance of discipline and kindness in his teaching style. His deep knowledge and patient approach keep kids engaged while helping them develop confidence and strong technique. My son has also trained with Coach Alex and Coach Brandon, who are both great instructors as well. They bring enthusiasm, patience, and skill to every class, creating a welcoming and supportive learning environment. Beyond teaching Jiu-Jitsu, the instructors make classes fun, incorporating games that make the kids so happy and giggle while they learn. They also foster a friendly atmosphere, encouraging teamwork and respect among students. Gracie Barra Great Falls has been an amazing place for my son to grow, both on and off the mats. I highly recommend it to any parents looking for a high-quality Jiu-Jitsu program for their child!"

"We’ve had an incredible experience at Gracie Barra over the past two months! Our elementary-aged daughter started training here, and we couldn’t be happier with the environment and instruction. The owners are incredibly kind and welcoming, and the instructors have a fantastic way of working with kids—patient, engaging, and always encouraging. The entire gym community is supportive, making it a great place for young learners to build confidence and skills. We also appreciate their flexibility—when we missed a few classes due to vacation, they gladly accommodated make-up sessions. It’s rare to find a place that combines high-quality instruction with such a warm and family-friendly atmosphere, but Gracie Barra is truly a hidden gem. Highly recommend for anyone looking to introduce their child to BJJ in a positive, well-run setting!"

"The respect, discipline, and skill that is taught here is unmatched. Professor Fabiano deserves accolades for his efforts and dedication. He has a way with kids that is personal and sincere and makes my kids look forward to coming back week after week. He loves his craft and it shows. His kind demeanor and will to truly teach is so vital and memorable. All of the coaches are wonderful and we’re so grateful to have found this establishment!"
