Gracie Barra Columbia is one of the best things I could have done for my 11 year old son. After 3 months his confidence and focus has increased about 500%. Before Gracie I was unsure if he was interested in anything besides gaming and youtube. It has also improved our relationship as father and son by me just being there. My son has a goal to be a black belt, and i am so proud to see him develop. The professors are awesome. I appreciate the time they put into my son. I'm thinking of joining myself.

My kids love going to Jiu Jitsu at this school. Professor Mario and all his coaches are so excellent with the kids keeping them motivated while helping them learn new skills. My little guy is 4 so he is still learning to focus and they take so much care with him. Every class is full of big smiles!

This is a great experience for people to learn a discipline and work out. Professor Mario is for sure the nicest guy in the martial arts business in town and my son loves his time here. Every single person here is easy-going and there's no silly 2-year commitment. We come because we want to!

We loveeee Gracie Barra! The coaches and professor have been so knowledgeable and supportive of my daughter. They are great at incorporating what they teach to real life scenarios (ex. Bullies at school). They push the kids to a comfortable level and my daughter has really grown from it. We’ll be there for years to come!

I could write a book about the great things Gracie Barra is doing but I rather just encourage you to come join the family and experience for yourself.

Professor Mario and the entire GB Columbia team are simply fantastic. A wonderful group of individuals who care tremendously about their students and their craft. A true honor to be a part of this team.

This is my favorite of all the Gracie locations. I love the open mindset the staff have for people's different reasons for joining. Clean facilities, very respectful and fun people to work with.
