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!

I have had such a positive experience learning BJJ fundamentals as a beginner. The instructors and staff maintain a very positive atmosphere, have best in class knowledge about the sport, and make everyone feel welcome from all walks of life. Highly recommend.

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.
