I’ve been training at Gracie Barra for about 8 months, and it’s been great. The instructors are skilled and supportive, alongside the welcoming community of low and high belts alike. I’ve grown in both technique and enjoyment as I continue to go, I highly recommend GB for anyone interested in BJJ.Max Richardson
