Testimonials
-
I have been visiting in the area for work and decided to do a casual class at Gracie Barra HV BJJ. All of the staff were very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. The professor and all of the senior belts were very knowledgeable and friendly and mindful of my safety and level of experience, as were all of the students. Great atmosphere. If I was a local I would join this club.Brooke Kendall

GB Hunter Valley offers a welcoming environment that challenges kids while nurturing their individuality. The coaches are great role models—my daughter loves it here. I couldn’t ask for a better BJJ school. Highly recommended.Tara Blunt

Very professional, helpful and great communication. Coach Karen is really great with the little kids, she is encouraging, calm, firm and fair and gains respect from her students. My son has now been attending for 3 years and he loves it, he's grown in confidence and has learnt to defend himself with the help of this most practical martial art you'll ever need to know in general life.Claire Fury
