What Our Students Say

Doug Bastien
"I walked in the first day not knowing anyone in the gym, or anything about BJJ. I was introduced by a colleague in Phoenix that goes to GB there. Upon arrival, Coach Austin suited me up, shared just enough to get me through the class without worry of performance, and he taught me how to fit in quickly by respecting the etiquette and teammates. The Professors had just moved to KC from Brazil this same week and although language was a challenge, they were immediate friends. They bring world class talent and accomplishment, and a culture of respect and taking care of every mate on the Mat. They are all about improvement on the mat and off. They run an amazing gym that technique is king, it’s intense but smiles are everywhere, and we take care of our own. I wish I had my daughters in with me, but at 51, I still don’t have the influence over them as I should! :) Very grateful GRACIE BARRA OP!"

"Wonderful place. This location has incredible instructors, coaches and professors. We are treated like family. The front of house, reception- is always willing to answer questions, is incredibly patient and kind with the children and very knowledgeable. Our kiddo LOVES to come here! This is one activity she always looks forward to doing."
Matthew Pomianek
"Excellent Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy in South Overland Park. The instructors, Professor Valerio Moro Ubaldini & Tim Thompson have been so instrumental in my BJJ development along with my children. It is like one big family at Gracie Barra Overland Park. We started on opening day of the Academy and have enjoyed meeting many new friends and the BJJ community. The training has been great for our children; teaching them discipline, work ethic, problem solving, and GRIT, all of which is needed in todays world. Over the past 18 months we’ve had multiple families we know join and all have had a great experience. My only regret is that we don’t have more time to train with them!"
Thomas Townsend
"GBOP is a great and amazing place! Staff and coaches are amazing to on and off the mat. Great atmosphere for kids and adults just getting into the sport. I got my 5 year old enrolled as a way to have something special for me and him. He loves the time he gets to spend on the mat."
