What Our Students Say

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

Travis Flack

"Gracie Barra is everything you'd want in a Jiu-Jitsu academy. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes beginners and experienced practitioners alike feel right at home. The team is supportive, respectful, and truly passionate about the art. Master Carlos Liberi brings world-class expertise to every class. His instruction is clear, technical, and rooted in decades of experience, yet he remains approachable and dedicated to every student’s progress. Whether you're training for self-defense, competition, or just to challenge yourself, this academy offers the perfect environment to grow—physically and mentally. Highly recommend!"

Holly Zhang

"Studying Gracie Barra has made my child feels more confident, and the master and all assistants here are very professional and friendly. They use humor and very fun methods to make children engaged in exercises physically and mentally. My child likes it very much, he doesn't want to miss any practice session, every time after practicing he just sweats a lot! My kid is six years old which is a very good age to start studying here. As a parent, I highly recommend children to do sports in building self-confidence and self defense."

Isela Ramirez

"Amazing place to learn jiu-jitsu. I was surprised by the experience of the Master Liberty (34 years of teaching), he has a lot of patience and ability to transmit this martial art. I have developed more confidence in myself and as an extra he teaches us self-defense techniques for real life, 100% recommended. All their staff are friendly and professional."

Camis Prado

"The Best school of Brazilian jiu-jítsu with Master Liberi. The gym is so clean, and I feel like family in there. Thank you so much for teaching the most high level of jiu jitsu."
