Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Self Defense - Avondale

My kids have been coming here for a few months now and they love attending class. Professor Michael and Josh are great along with all the coaches there.

My kids started BJJ first, and I ended up doing it myself; it was the best decision I’ve ever made. I genuinely appreciate the professors, the coaches, and the environment. Be brave, start something, and join the BJJ community at Gracie Barra.

My husband & two kids train here & they all absolutely love it. My kids have learned so much & get the wiggles out in a positive environment. There’s so much more to their training that include learning courage, respect and obedience all while having fun! The professors & coaches are amazing & have lots of patients with the little ones. My boys love them so much. This place is awesome!!!

My daughter Nikita has been going for a few weeks now and absolutely loves the classes. Everyone has been so welcoming and helpful. She looks forward to going to classes and learning new stuff.

We’ve been going to this class for a little over a month now for our son! And let me tell you the confidence he’s gotten he loves coming to the class and learning new techniques! What’s stands out to me is that although the coaches and professors haves a bunch of students they still manage to know everyone’s names which makes it more personal for me which I love and the actual help they do versus just standing around and watching if they see you doing something incorrect or don’t understand they will help you out without getting irritated we love Gracie barra UPDATED: This review is still accurate: the coaches and professor at Gracie Barra really do spend the time to make sure the kids understand each move. They don’t just rush through techniques they’ll go over the same move for a couple of days so the kids can really practice it and feel confident before moving on. As a parent, I love seeing how patient and consistent they are. My child is not only learning the moves but actually retaining them because of the way they teach. It’s a great balance of structure, encouragement, and making sure the kids build a solid foundation.
