"Very friendly atmosphere and great for if you want to learn grappling! This place has multiple amazing coaches, both male and female, for BJJ who can effectively teach you regardless of your understanding or experience."
"I've been at Gracie Barra for over a year and have learned so much! I appreciate the female only classes and the instructors/professors are one thousand percent amazing. It is such a safe space to learn and have fun and a great workout!"
"Great gym. The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is very strategy based. A lot of sparring from side control, full guard, usually whatever the days lesson was about. Very good, knowledgeable instructors. Really recommend."
"GB Novi has a terrific culture. My son attends and while the classes are very challenging - as you would expect with BJJ - the focus is really on teaching. The instructors push the students in a very constructive / instructive way, and the more experienced athletes often help guide the newer members."
