I'll admit, starting jiu-jitsu initially seemed extremely intimidating because I had no experience with martial arts or self defense. But now that I’m 2 years into practicing BJJ here at GB CoMo, I couldn’t imagine my life without it. I’ve found lifelong friends in my teammates! Professor Fabio, Coach George, Coach Oly, Dylan and Domanic make it such a positive and fun environment!

Great structure, clean, organized and welcoming environment. Qualified professor and instructors. If you want to learn a martial art, defend yourself and make great friends this is the right place.

I highly recommend getting your entire family on the mats at GB Columbia. It has been one of the best things we have done for our family! The gym has become our second home. We love the Professor Fabio, the coaches, and the atmosphere.Our kids are learning so much more than jiu jitsu. They are learning resilience, to believe in themselves, and that they always have more in them than they think they do.I myself have rediscovered a part myself that I haven't known for years. As a women, I just wanted to learn a little self defense, but I have found resilience, pride, and confidence.

I love this place - the atmosphere, Professor Fabio, Coach George, all the staff, everyone who trains, and their families. I had never trained in any sort of martial art or wrestling before I started here, and I am so grateful that I am at the best gym I could have asked for. The environment is relaxed and friendly, and I count everyone here as a friend. My life is better for being part of this community. If you've "been thinking about trying jiu-jitsu" for a while, like I had, you won't regret joining Gracie Barra Columbia!

The atmosphere at Gracie Barra is amazing. I have felt welcomed since my very first class. The professor and coaches are always willing to answer my questions and help me with techniques I have questions about. It has been so much fun training the past couple months and I recommend it to everyone. Just try one class and you might love it !!

Professor Fabio Lima, Coach George and the rest of the team are the best!!! They're very engaged, patiently sharing their expertise and making everyone feel welcomed. The place looks great and the classes are so much fun. I couldn't recommend it enough for women willing to learn self-defense.
