Rachel McVay
"My daughter has been attending Gracie Barra for a few months now, and the experience has been outstanding. From the very beginning, the instructors made her feel welcome, supported, and confident. The coaches are not only highly skilled in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but also truly exceptional with children. They strike the perfect balance between discipline and encouragement, creating a positive environment that helps kids grow both physically and mentally. I've already noticed a big improvement in her confidence, focus, and overall attitude. What really stands out about Gracie Barra is their sense of community. The gym is clean, organized, and professional, yet it still feels warm and family-oriented. The other parents and students are friendly, and it’s clear that respect and teamwork are core values here. If you're considering a Jiu-Jitsu gym for your child (or yourself), I highly recommend Gracie Barra. It’s been a wonderful investment in our daughter's growth and well-being."
ROMAN MARTINEZ
"My son Garrick has attended Gracie Barra since 2023. He has really enjoyed competition classes and going to competitions in Houston, Austin, and Dallas with the Gracie Barra College Station team. The facilities are new and well maintained, and the coaches are very attentive to the students helping them grow confidence in their technique. I highly recommend Gracie Barra to instill confidence in children and adults."
Robert Frye
"Hands down the #1 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in College Station! If you’re looking for a place to train the most fundamental skills of self defense and/or just get in the best shape of your life, this is the place to go. Come learn from a World champion Brazilian 4 stripe black belt “Professor Milton” and several other Competitive Brown and Purple belts, right here in the Bryan/College Station area. Plus joining the Gracie Barra team means you become part of a worldwide family no matter where your BJJ journey takes you."
Ray Ivie
"Great and safe place for learning and training. Student ages go from very young to older. I am enjoying my third martial art and working out in the adult class with new friends. The professor and instructors are first class and engaging to help all of us do our best. Like most good martial arts gyms, everyone becomes a second family as you enjoy it as a culture and way of life. I highly recommend BJJ as a self defense and life long way of life. My family grew up doing multiple martial arts and my adult children continue to train. It gave them confidence and discipline to be themselves and achieve success without the negative peer pressure too many experience. Try Gracie Barra CS, you are never too old and you will not regret it."
