Gracie Barra Overland Park, KS

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.

My daughter started training at Gracie Barra Overland Park in February of 2022. She had a free trial class, but wanted to try a few other martial arts schools. During that time, she would constantly ask, "When can I go back to Gracie Barra", "I want to go back to Gracie Barra". As of this review, this is my second week there. I am familiar with Gracie Barra (therefore I am biased and think its the best). Its been everything I had thought it would be and so much more. Professor Valerio, Coach Tim, and Coach Austin are great. They are all truly sincere and genuine for their love and teaching(s) of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and its philosophy under Master Carlos Gracie Jr. Its been great training there. You truly feel like a team, but more importantly, a family. The only egos there are healthy egos. Everyone is there to help someone get better, to help each other improve, to help each other to develop, etc. There is no, "me", at Gracie Barra Overland Park its, "we". If someone is struggling, they don't get broken down, they don't get embarrassed, they get built back up to learn a technique until they have the knowledge and concept of it, and in return gain confidence. They are not left behind. No one is there to embarrass another person, its not about seeing who the toughest is there, there is none of that. I am beyond grateful and appreciative for my daughter and I to be a part of Gracie Barra Overland Park. I could go on and on, this is the Cliff Notes version.

I really enjoy learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu here! Professor Valerio does an amazing job explaining how each step works and the reason behind the moves - his class is like a perfect combination of science and art! It's also our fun family activity - we go to the class twice a week and love practicing new take down skills with each other at home:)!

My wife and I signed up my six year old son for classes about six months ago. He is having the time of his life. He whispered in my ear a few weeks ago. “Dad I want to do this for ever”! Since then he has pulled his father and his sister into the classes. I would highly recommend that all fathers bring their sons or daughters to a Gracie Barra Class.Professional Valario had trained at the Barra Da Tijuca Jujitsu academy in Brazil. You can’t get any closer to the Gracie’s and he is great with the kids.

Organized like a team, fighting like family. This is how they do in Gracie Barra Overland Park. Professor Valerio is one of the most professional and knowledgeable Professors I have ever seen during my last 10 yrs BJJ journey. You won't be regret if you train here.

Great school with an amazing instructor, Valerio Mori Ubaldini. The Gracie Barra brand is the largest in the world with schools to train at world wide while traveling. The environment is spectacular. Highly recommended to anyone looking to start their BJJ journey.

My son started about 5 months ago with a friend and has been loving. He has already competed and won sim gold medals. I’ve even seen the benefits of his strength/conditioning in other sports. But you don’t have to be a competitor to join. I ended up starting a month later myself. All the coaches are very positive and great to train with. The community is very supportive and it’s a positive environment to train. It really is jiu jitzu for everyone.

Gracie Barra is the best Jiu jitsu school in the word!! Uniform, curriculum, system! Everything to make your journey better on this amazing sport! JIU-JITSU for everyone!!!

I began BJJ with professor Valerio and the Gracie Barra team. The professor is very helpful and his instruction and attention to detail is fantastic!! I found it to be a very family friendly atmosphere and still really challenging. It’s a great work out and the skills you acquire and lessons BJJ teaches are lifelong and everlasting. BJJ is awesome for ANYONE and EVERYONE YOUNG and OLDIt’s also never to late to start I began my journey at 43 yrsDefinitely recommend Gracie Barra and professor Valerio they are incredible!!!

What a great experience Professor Valerio and the Coaches are super nice and the students are all great to deal with. Get ready to sweat 💦! …
