What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Richard North
"I have been training Jiu Jitsu for over 26 years. I have trained at half a dozen schools from California to Alabama. Gracie Barra is by far the best school I have ever trained at. There are eight highly experienced Black Belts, Multiple World Champions, Gold, Silver and Bronze World Games Champions. Each class is taught by a Fantastic, Knowledgeable Black Belt. Everyone is friendly and safely is a priority. By far the best school in Alabama and Georgia. Come by at train for a week free. You’ll sign up and love it."

"We've been going to this gym for over 3 years and couldn't be happier. New name, new chapter, same amazing program. The professors and coaches here prioritize learning over egos for all age/ability groups and I'm always impressed with the high level of professionalism. The icing on the cake is the family like community they've built up. Thank you Professor Josh, Professor Chris, Coach Ed and all of the professors and coaches who have been a part of mine and my daughters jiu jitsu journey."

"Great Gracie Barra location! I visited recently to Columbus, GA for work and dropped into GB Columbus for a class and it was great. The professors were very gracious with their time and attentive. The students were also very respectful to me as a visitor and I will visit again next time I'm in the area!"
