What Our Students Say

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

Diane Paiz

"My son has found a true passion in Jiujitsu, and his experience at Gracie Barra St. Johns has been nothing short of outstanding. From day one, he has eagerly looked forward to each session, and I have noticed significant improvements in his strength, confidence, and overall development. The coaches and professors are highly skilled, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about the progress of each student. They take the time to ensure that every child receives the attention and guidance they need, creating a supportive environment for growth. It brings me immense joy to see my son learning valuable self-defense techniques while also developing a strong sense of discipline and determination. I am incredibly grateful for the positive impact this Jiujitsu training has had on my son's life. Thank you coaches and professors!"

Diane Aballa-Flores

"GB Nocatee is a great family oriented gym for ALL ages - Kids, teenagers, and adults! When you enter the academy you are eagerly welcomed by staff, professors & coaches, and members. We love the spacious mats, cleanliness, there’s a cold plunge, compression boots, and my favorite - the SAUNA! My 2 kids train at GB Nocatee & what we love seeing is the camaraderie between the kids and them having FUN! They’ve met some new friends there and look forward to training & hanging out afterwards while the parental units (husband and I) train. As an adult participating, I am appreciative of the helpful coaches and professors who break down the techniques with ease. After a long day of work, coming to the academy is something we look forward to. Best part also is that there are Friday classes for all ages. Thank you GB Nocatee for opening in St Johns County, so glad there is a location for the community to enjoy! 5️⃣ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

Chad Cahoy

"Gracie Barra Saint Johns is an amazing place to learn and grow in the sport of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The professors and coaches there are top notch with a ton of knowledge and experience. I enjoy my time there every time I train with them. If you’re thinking about giving BJJ a try, this is the place hands down!"

Julie Amanda

"My 16 year old daughter is super shy and was so nervous about coming to try a class. She joined a weeknight women's class and the women/girls there couldn't have been nicer. It was super empowering and they were so so kind. She often feels a bit left out and felt very welcomed and supported. Highly recommend."
