Excellent place to train jiu-jutsu. Friendly staff, knowledgeable instructor, clean facility. Most students are brand new, not many higher belt levels.

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!!!

Gracie Barra is great for everyone who has ever wanted to get into Jiu Jitsu. Whether your goals are fitness, self-defense, and/or competition, they have a proven curriculum that allows anyone to learn and grow within the sport. Professor Valerio is a high level black belt and a world class instructor. He makes the learning environment fun and comfortable. Don't be afraid to ask questions. He loves breaking down the details of every move so that everyone, no matter your skill level, can understand and learn the techniques.

I have been training at this gym for just 1 month and I have enjoyed it from day one. Unfortunately I am moving out of town, or else I would stay. I figured I would try out Jiu-Jitsu for just one month before I move, and it has definitely been rewarding. Professor Valerio is very good, it has been great learning from him. I went from absolute beginner to getting my first stripe, feels good to at least get started.
