Client Testimonials

Gracie Barra Saint Johns is an amazing place to learn and grow in the sport of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The professors and coaches there are top notch with a ton of knowledge and experience. I enjoy my time there every time I train with them. If you’re thinking about giving BJJ a try, this is the place hands down!

Chad C.

I signed my 5 year old son up when they opened. It has been wonderful watching him grow and improvements he makes every week. The classes are organized, the kids are held accountable and the coaches are dedicated to making sure kids are learning. They take pride in knowing every child’s names and keeping kids engaged (which is incredibly hard for 5-8 year olds). Special shout to coach Dean, he is absolutely fantastic with the kids and has a gift for teaching.

Bliss C.

My 7 year old daughter is in the GBK program. The instructors break down the technique in simple fun ways for her as well as the other kids to learn them. The instructor to student ratio is great, allowing each kid to get one on one instruction as necessary. The instructors keep the class fun, engaging yet disciplined.

Come As You Are, Leave As Your Best Self

Maybe you walk in feeling like a wet noodle or a couch ninja, but after some sweat, laughs, and maybe a few rolls, you’ll leave stronger, sharper, and ready to take on the world—or at least your next match. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: it’s where transformation (and a little fun) happens!
