I've trained at different gyms in the past and the best overall experience I've had is at Gracie Barra Columbia. Professor Fabio brings a wealth of knowledge, experience, and even more so a family atmosphere for all. All of the coaches are amazing as they carry the mission throughout the school. For me, it's less about the training and more about the community being built. Our team is a great group of people who includes all; from the novice to the experts. I look forward to growing with this school while learning high quality jiu jitsu, being part of a community, and also having fun.

Professor Fabio has made a welcoming and fun environment to learn in. The "team" feeling is very evident from your first class. Could not recommend this school more.

We have been at this location for around 8 months now and it has been a great experience. My four year old says jiujitsu here is his favorite activity! Everyone we have encountered has been very friendly and welcoming. Professor Fabio has already shown great leadership and I have enjoyed watching the atmosphere is creating. We are excited to continue to see our son grow and learn through jiujitsu at Gracie Barra!

1 full month at GBC and down 15lbs and counting. This is an absolute blast and great workout. Professor Fabio is fantastic, George Domanic, Dylan the other coaches are very awesome and welcoming. Professor Fabio and the whole team have been so welcoming. Don’t worry Rob and Oly couldn’t forget about y’all communicating and making someone new feel welcome.

This place is great. I recently relocated to Columbia for family, and was lucky enough to find them. They have helped me not only grow in jiu jitsu but as a person. Can't recommend it enough. Thank you everyone for your hard work and support!
