What Our Students Say

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

Vitor Corte

"Professor Pedro is a shining example of the high level of technique and passion for Jiu-Jitsu that defines Gracie Barra Trussville. As a black belt, he combines years of experience with a genuine commitment to teaching and inspiring his students. His classes are known for being challenging and engaging, always promoting the core values ​​of Jiu-Jitsu, such as discipline, respect and teamwork. Gracie Barra Trussville, in turn, is much more than a chain of gyms – it is a global community that embraces the philosophy of “Jiu-Jitsu for All”. Each Gracie Barra location is a reflection of this mission, creating a welcoming environment where practitioners of all ages, genders and skill levels feel welcome. With an approach focused on technical and personal development, Gracie Barra combines tradition and innovation, ensuring that each student not only learns the gentle art, but also takes away lessons that transcend the mat. Whether in children's, women's, self-defense or competitor classes, the goal is always the same: to help each individual become Gracie Barra is, without a doubt, a beautiful global family dedicated to growth, respect and unity, and Professor Pedro represents this mission with excellence"

"I started my 5-year-old here when school started. The results have been amazing, his focus and attention to detail have gotten so much better. He loves jiu jitsu so much and the entire staff is so patient with the younger children. I would highly recommend anyone with younger kids to consider Gracie Barra Trussville. Well worth it!"

Chloe Breland
