Reviews

  • I highly recommend getting your entire family on the mats at GB Columbia. It has been one of the best things we have done for our family! The gym has become our second home. We love the Professor Fabio, the coaches, and the atmosphere. Our kids are learning so much more than jiu jitsu. They are learning resilience, to believe in themselves, and that they always have more in them than they think they do. I myself have rediscovered a part myself that I haven't known for years. As a woman, I just wanted to learn a little self defense, but I have found resilience, pride, and confidence.
  • Flexible, caring, formative. 3 words that describe our experiences at Gracie Barra. From the warm greeting at the beginning to the encouragement and excellent instruction on the mats, the experiences are solid. They spend their time working and magnifying the process as well as the product. They are working toward forming and growing our son in ways that I cannot do at home. And for that, we are beyond grateful.
  • Gracie Barra BJJ is an outstanding place to train. From day one, I felt completely welcomed by both the instructors and the students. The facility is always clean and well-organized, which makes a big difference in feeling comfortable and focused during training. The Professor and higher belts are patient, knowledgeable, and take the time to make sure beginners understand the fundamentals without feeling overwhelmed. Everyone is friendly and supportive, creating an environment where novices can learn confidently and improve at their own pace. If you're new to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or looking for a positive, professional place to train, Gracie Barra BJJ is an excellent choice.
  • Coaches make you feel like family from day one, Professor Fabio is a world class instructor and person. Friendly GB community who are the best and nicest training partners you will ever meet when you walk in the door. They truly live by Jiu Jitsu for everyone!
  • We can’t say enough wonderful things about this Jiu Jitsu program. The coaches are truly exceptional, not only highly skilled, but genuinely invested in our kids. You can see how much they care in the way they teach, encourage, and push each child to be the best version of themselves, both on and off the mats. They build confidence, discipline, respect, and resilience while creating a positive and motivating environment. Our kids feel supported, challenged, and proud of their progress every single week. We are beyond grateful for the entire coaching staff and the impact they’ve had on our family. Highly recommend! 🥋💙
