Very welcoming and clean environment to train. The professor is very patient and explains everything very clearly with new students wanting to learn a new life skill. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to try something new, wanting to improve their life, or get a variety of training.

This is the first time in several years that I have enjoyed working out. The professor and coaches are excellent! Other members are very welcoming and the more experienced are always teaching us with less experience.

My 5 yr. old grandson, Mason, loves Gracie Barra Jiu-Jitsu! He has really blossomed since starting classes. He is more confident, answers questions in class and is learning a skill which will serve him well his entire life. The staff are excellent and they know how to keep little ones engaged by making learning fun. I can't recommend Gracie Barra Overland Park enough!

I held off giving a review for little bit over 2 months on purpose. I wanted to embrace the class to see if it was a fit for me and was it going to be a positive influence to my life physically and mentally. This school has definitely done that for me! Professor Valerio, coach Tim, Kyle and Austin instills a positive learning atmosphere catered to your growth. Not only that the Gracie Barra family at Overland Park has an inclusive attitude to people. Everyone wants to see each other grow whether you are little one or if you lived life for a bit. Overall, I would recommend this school to my family and friends because I trust their process and them!

Excellent Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy in South Overland Park. The instructors, Professor Valerio Moro Ubaldini & Tim Thompson have been so instrumental in my BJJ development along with my children. It is like one big family at Gracie Barra Overland Park. We started on opening day of the Academy and have enjoyed meeting many new friends and the BJJ community.The training has been great for our children; teaching them discipline, work ethic, problem solving, and GRIT, all of which is needed in todays world. Over the past 18 months we’ve had multiple families we know join and all have had a great experience. My only regret is that we don’t have more time to train with them!

Our boys LOVE Gracie Barra - Overland Park, KS! Professor Valerio, Coach Tim, Coach Jonamie, and Coach Austin are FANTASTIC! If you're looking for a safe and structured outlet for your kiddos to learn discipline, self-defense, and respect, you've found it! You're treated like family the moment you walk through the door, and the team truly believes in the philosophy they teach. Highly recommend you come try out a free intro class and see for yourself! :-)
