We tried this place among many others and this is the best environment for little kids. My 3y fell in love with the class and was engaged the whole time. The teacher is professional, firm and funny and the kids love and respect him. The parent seating area is so convenient and comfortable. I wish I could give more stars.

I absolutely fell in love with Jiu Jitsu because of this school! We train hard, but we also care for each other like family. If you were wondering to try this school or not, I’m saying YES! Please try it out, you will not regret it ❤️?

My son has tried several Jiu-Jitsu schools before finding a perfect fit with Gracie Barra. Prior to joining, he was a gentle and kind-hearted boy, though lacking self-confidence, often referred to as a "teddy bear" by others. Within about four months of practicing at Gracie Barra, we observed a profound transformation. Professor Christiano Dantas became a role model for him. My son became very serious about his practice and attended his first tournament. The school not only fosters tournament participation but also extends support through complimentary tournament-preparation classes. The first tournament was a profound turning point for my son. Witnessing my child, once gentle teddy bear, not only face defeat but persevere, return to the mat, and win following fights earning the bronze medal, was awe-inspiring.

The instructors not only teach the technique but also engage with the kids, talk to them at the end of each class, transmit the philosophy of the fight and other wise life ideas. My son's self-assurance has grown tremendously. Many thanks to the amazing GB team! Professor Dantas, Carlos, Shanelle you rock!

I can't recommend Gracie Barra Ju-Jitsu School enough for kids (great for adults too)! My children have been attending classes here for some time now, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. The professors (instructors) are incredibly skilled and patient, creating a supportive environment where kids can learn and grow both physically and mentally. The curriculum is well-structured, focusing not only on technique but also on discipline and respect. If you're looking for a place where your kids can learn self-defense while also building confidence and character, look no further than Gracie Barra Ju-Jitsu School!

I love Gracie Barra Aventura, it’s the best part of my day, and I genuinely look forward to every class. The professors there are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what they teach.
What makes it even better is the friendly and supportive atmosphere, from the staff to fellow gym members. It's a fantastic place to train and grow in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
I moved to Florida for work, and while I couldn't surf as often, which is my absolute favorite sport, Gracie Barra Aventura has become my second home and a place where I can stay active, learn, and connect with an amazing community. I highly recommend Gracie Barra Aventura to anyone looking to start in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

In February, I signed up for a free trial class expecting nothing, but in the process I found another home and group of people who I can call my family. I'm very thankful for Professor Cris, Professor Alex, Professor Rob and to all of my teammates, who support me and push my game to the next level every single day. Since I started training BJJ at Gracie Barra Aventura, not only do I feel more confident on the mats, but my life has tremendously changed off the mats as well and it's starting to feel like the best decision I have ever made. Truly grateful to discover Gracie Barra Aventura!
