Gracie Barra Columbia Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Self Defense

Great coaches, Great Team, Great Training.

Before joining I felt rudderless with my workout. Lifting weights and walking just left me wanting more. I started my journey so I could help my kids work on their skills. It slowly became a passion. Now the gym is my second home a year later. A place to let the stress drain away.

I don’t say this lightly, jiu-jitsu has 100% changed my life and I owe that to Fabio Lima (our professor) and the entire GB gym. I’ve fallen in love with this place and can’t say enough great things about it. In short, come to learn jiu-jitsu and stay to learn even more about yourself. Is that too much? I could literally keep typing but I’ll spare your eyes. Hopefully we see you soon.

Prof. Fabio, Coach. George, and Coach. Dom are awesome! Fabio has tons of magic drills to break your arm, if you come everyday, you will gain a lot. It’s also one of the best experiments I have ever had in Columbia!

Gracie Barra Columbia is an amazing environment where you’re treated like family. Professor Fabio cares so much about all of his students and helps them pave the way for their success. Coach George, Dylan, and Domanic are also really helpful and help create a fun and encouraging environment for all students.

ive been going since 2021 and have had a great time

Such a family friendly and comfortable environment for my kids! Love it here!

My daughter has been taking Jiu jitsu lessons at GB Columbia coming up on two years this summer, and we absolutely love it! Professor Fabio has been a wonderful addition to the school. He brings a depth of expertise and experience that are truly a treasure. In addition, he is so attentive and kind, giving his personal attention and support to each and every student. Lais is also an excellent instructor for the women’s self defense classes.My daughter is improving her self-esteem, physical strength, and mental discipline through Jiu jitsu classes. And it’s good to know that she is learning to defend herself should she ever need to. I can’t recommend GB Columbia enough!

My son started BJJ at Gracie Barra 3 months ago and so far he loves it! I plan to have my other son joining when he is big enough and I am considering to join as well. It is a great atmosphere, relaxed and family oriented.Edit: Professor Fabio joined Gracie Barra a few months ago and his classes are amazing. He has so much knowledge and the kids love him. He also treats everybody very gently. My son sees him as a role model already!

Gracie barra Columbia is a great gym, the lessons are very good and technical, professor Fábio Lima is a great instructor with easy and practical lessons during the fight. The entire group here is full of friendly people who make you feel like a part of the family.
