Gracie Barra O'Fallon

Just started my journey into Jiu-Jitsu with Gracie Barra O’Fallon. Been a great first week; with everyone being very friendly and great instructors. If you have ever thought about trying Jiu-Jitsu or martial arts in general come give them a try.

When my kids and I came by to check out the gym we were largely ignored while there , and even though they took down our information no one ever followed up with us. We had already been training BJJ for several years in Colorado and were looking for a new BJJ home in Missouri. We found another academy and are grateful we are training under our new professor.

I highly recommend this gym to any parent that has the slightest concern about their children being bullied. They teach the children self control and self defense in so many different situations all while they assist in boosting the child’s confidence. The teacher are phenomenal and you can clearly tell that they enjoy what they are doing. If you’re unsure, try the free class they offer. You’ll be glad you did.

Their program is excellent. The multiple instructors working to ensure the students are active in following the instruction. The approach of careful consideration of the kids joint/ physical safety. Lastly, their focus on teaching kids to control rather than harm is a welcomed aspect for younger students and dealing with any contentious issues they may face.

Very proud to be part of this great Family. I came from another jiujitsu school since I moved in the area and I didn’t even feel like I was new here. Everyone treated me as if I’ve been with them forever. If you train they have the World class athletes. Everyone is very passionate of what they do. And willing to work with you on any technique you’re having trouble with. Always encouraging and motivating coaches and teammates. And most importantly this gym will help you build courage and self confidence in anything you do in your life. Gracie Barra Brazilian jiu-jitsu for EVERYONE.

My daughter has been going here for about a month and she loves it! They run a good discipline type program, that teaches kids honor, integrity and self defense! Ju jitsu is a great martial art that you can spend your whole life doing and will always keep learning new things!!!!

Signed our 6 year old up for classes here. At first we were kind of unsure because of the pricing. But after the first class we knew this was the right place for our son to learn self defense and that it was an exceptional value. Great leaders, awesome structure, all around great place.

My 6 year old has been attending for 3 weeks and absolutely loves it. The instructors are great and take their time with the children. It has definitely helped boost his confidence.

I went to my first class to see how everything worked out and Professor Buckles was beyond nice and encouraging. I was rolling with brown belt Dennis and they both showed me new things and made it easy to learn new things. Everyone was super welcoming and it's like a brotherhood on the mats. Granted that I got beat everytime it was so much fun. That night after the class I signed up! I'd highly recommend Gracie Barra to anyone looking to have some fun while learning alot!

The Professors were very welcoming when my wife and I observed a class, then brought our son to observe another for himself. We were able to talk to one teen student who was recovering from an injury and another parent, whose son was being picked on in High School. Both had nothing but positive feedback about GB techniques and the positive outcome it has had in their lives in just a short time.The next week, our son was all smiles after his first free session on the mats and we were just as excited when we told him he could join.
