What Our Students Say

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

Devin Young

"I came in knowing nothing, no prior experience, and no clue what I was getting myself into. To my surprise, I’ve found a friendly environment where everyone just wants to get better, together. The afternoon classes fit perfectly after my 9-5 and it’s great exercise. Mentally and physically. I would highly recommend giving it a try if you are thinking about it."

Anthony Myers

"Joining Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Lake Orion has been one of the best choices we have made for our daughter. She is learning discipline, respect, leadership and more. She has only been going for 6 weeks and already we see many improvements in her behavior, her self esteem and confidence. If you are considering a new sport or after school hobby for your child, please his is a great choice! Thank you to Professor Bryam, coach Wellington and the rest of the team here."

Amanda da Rocha

"My experience was amazing! I live in Watertown WI, and met prof. Bryam and coach Wellington at a tournament, in Chicago. Their performance at the tournament was high level. The fights were incredible! When I got the opportunity to visit the school, it exceeded my expectations. Coach Nef welcomed me right away, he was so friendly. I also had a great experience with all of the students. Everyone was so warm and welcoming. Professor Bryam was attentive and gave me important tips that have changed my game. I can’t wait to be back and see the whole team again! Best school in the region for sure!"

Sean MacKenzie

"Great BJJ school. I joined when they opened in September 2023 and have also enrolled 3 of my kids since. They’ve developed a great culture of family and respect at all age levels."
