Been training here since may, from the very first day I walked through the door the coaching staff has welcomed me with open arms. Weather it be a question about a certain technique, something I seen online or something I wanted to try Professor Valerio helped me understand it even if I didn’t understand the way he explained it to me he took the time to help me understand. The gym has a great learning atmosphere a lot of people have told me they would love to come but they don’t want to get slammed.This gym is not one of those gyms believe in the true learning experience they preach 30% all the time no one wants to get hurt. Everyone learns at his or her own pace and they are very understanding just because you don’t understand on the first day don’t get discouraged keep coming THE MATS DONT LIE. Hope to see you out there.

Highly satisfied with Gracie Barra Overland Park and would recommend it to anyone! Especially those with kids. Our son has been going for a while now and he has been having fun and making new friends along the way. Been learning self-defense, listening and being a good partner. Professor and Coaches are wonderful and work well with the kids. I even enjoy going Saturday and doing the parent/kid session 👍

Gracie Barra Overland Park has been such an amazing experience for my children. They’re not only learning Brazilian Jujitsu, they’re learning respect, patience, compassion and persistence on and off the mat. The instructors are phenomenal. They are consistent with the skills, teaching strategies and values with all students (ages 3 - adult).The owner, Coach Tim; sets the stage for the school to not only be a team - but a true, genuine family. He wants to sincerely know all of the students and their families who walk through his doors.If you’re looking for a jujitsu school for yourself or your kids, look no further.

Our son has been attending for four months now. It’s the first place he has stayed with for this long. Every other activity he tried he left after a month. He enjoys the classes so much and they really encourage him to push himself further. His confidence has grown and he loves the physical aspect. The coaches are so supportive and fun. He has made so many new friends here. We love the community here!

My entire family has been attending class regularly for the past 3 months. From my 5yo to me, who has several gray hairs, we all enjoy learning practical self defense skills and discipline (especially for my little one). Professor Valerio and all of the Coaches do a phenomenal job with the students. You won't go wrong coming to GB-OP for BJJ!

Tim is the owner and he made us feel at home- he's a fantastic spokesman. Wish him luck as he prepares for worlds.We ultimately chose Gracie Barra for the structure and curriculum they offer. We've been members for more than a year and I'm a blue belt now. We continue to grow in athleticism, technique, and in our relationships within this jiu-jitsu family.We highly recommend Gracie Barra!

I have only positives to say about GB Overland Park. This place is absolutely outstanding. It is well organized, safe, supervised school with absolutely outstanding Instructors. I have seen a tremendous amount of growth in my five year old Grandson. I can say this school has helped him come out of his shell, growth in confidence, coordination, positive attitude and a love for BJJ. A+++!

Nice, clean facility, multiple different time options for class- you can make your practice fit your schedule pretty easily. The group of students here is great as well. Everyone open to new students, and happy to help where they can. The Professor and coaches here are excellent as well. It's been a great experience to join.
