What Our Students Say

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

Tomer Golan

"Fantastic team, vibe and atmosphere. Prof Kayron, Prof Rafael and Prof Gabriel are super professional, technical and have years of teaching experience. Started a year and half ago, since then both of my kids joined, everyone’s very happy. One additional bonus is the ‘conditioning training’ with coach Bethany (twice a week), it’s similar to HIIT workouts but very much oriented towards BJJ, it saves me some of the gym visits for the week. All in all, ideal combination of great trainers (and trainees) and flexible schedule (3 times a day). Highly recommend, give it a try."

Joe Mogush

"The instructors at GB not only teach my 6 year old son BJJ, they also have taught him respect for himself and others. I would definitely recommend this facility to any adult or anyone with children, it's a place for everyone."

Irene Boggs

"My kids were invited to Grace Barra on a buddy pass. We were greeted with smiles and welcomed in. The teachers demonstrated a beautiful balance of sternness and respect towards the kids, yet, also did a great job of showing their caring and gentle side towards them as well. To say that my kids enjoyed their class is an understatement. I enrolled my kids for the classes and they look forward to coming to class every time. I know this training will teach them respect, honor and discipline along with a level of self-defense. I look forward to seeing my kids grow with Gracie Barra Jujutsu training."

Kristy Darling

"I recently enrolled my child in the jujitsu program, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. The professors here are exceptional with kids, providing patient instruction while also instilling discipline and respect. The facility is impeccably clean, creating a safe and inviting environment for training. Most importantly, my child is absolutely loving his time here. Watching him eagerly participate and grow in confidence has been rewarding."
