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.

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

Starting to learn Jiu Jitsu with Gracie Barra has been a lot of fun and a great work out. I'm just a couple sessions in but have been living every minute of it!

My family & I started our Gracie Barra jiu-jitsu journey 3 years ago with Professor Valerio, it has been life changing for all of us. Better health, discipline, and motivation in life overall is part of what Gracie Barra has brought to our everyday life apart from the excellent self defense & competition training. Professor Valerio’s expertise & professionalism is the best in the business. He creates a family atmosphere that’s comfortable & welcoming. We thank him for being a part of our life that will stay with us forever.

Coach Tim and Proffesor Valerio are two of the best both at jiu-jitsu and just genuine people I had the privilege of both training under and working with these guys. Gracie Barra Overland Park is very lucky to have them.👍 …

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.
