Erica Soares
"Gracie Barra Spicewood may be the baby of these GB family, but it carries the strength, knowledge, and legacy of its sister schools in every class. Under the leadership of Professor Alexandre “Dande,” this school is already building a strong, supportive community rooted in world-class instruction and authentic connection. You can feel the love and care put into every detail—from the structure of the classes to the welcoming environment. Whether you’re brand new or experienced, training here means you’re part of something truly special, and you’re learning from the best."
FLUX PRP
"I had the option of learning BJJ from many different schools throughout the Austin area. I’m glad I chose Gracie Barra in Spicewood. I really enjoy the teaching style and how you can apply your learnings to both street/real life situations and the sport of BJJ. The coaches and professors are very knowledgeable and provide a very structured program that is great for beginners to seasoned practitioners. If you’re looking to improve your confidence, strength and skills, I highly recommend this school!!"
