⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review – Gracie Barra Hialeah & Professor Gleibe Gracie Barra Hialeah is a truly special place. From the very first day, I was welcomed with warmth and professionalism, and quickly realized that it is more than just a school — it is a true family. Professor Gleibe, a black belt, dedicated father, and an incredible human being, makes every class a unique experience. He is kind, upbeat, and has an exceptional ability to teach children. With patience, positivity, and deep knowledge, he motivates and guides young students while ensuring they learn and have fun at the same time. The academy environment is welcoming, safe, and inspiring. You can feel the care offered to each student, from beginners to advanced practitioners. I wholeheartedly recommend Gracie Barra Hialeah and Professor Gleibe to anyone looking to learn Jiu-Jitsu in a place where technique, respect, and family truly come together. I couldn’t be happier.

As a current student at Gracie Barra Hialeah, and the parent of the student mentioned in a recent review, I feel compelled to share our positive experience with Professor Gleibe Andrade and the academy. From the very beginning, Professor Gleibe has fostered an environment built on respect, discipline, and community. He treats every student like family and upholds the highest standards of professionalism both on and off the mats. The recent negative review circulating online does not reflect the reality of our experience or the values of our academy. The individual who posted it has never been a part of Gracie Barra Hialeah and does not know Professor Gleibe personally. The insinuation that he breached confidentiality is entirely unfounded. Professor Gleibe has always demonstrated integrity and a deep sense of responsibility toward his students and their families. This family will not be broken by someone’s bad review We are proud to be part of Gracie Barra Hialeah and to train under a coach who embodies the true spirit of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu — respect, honor, and commitment to personal growth. This GB family and all new members will not be broken by a bad review and negativity. Anyone will be honored to be part of this school and professor Gleibe Andrade!

Awesome BJJ school for kids and adults. My 2 kids have been there for almost a year and they are treat like family. Professor Caesar and professor Rafael are great with kids and they are very knowledgeable. Also, Michelle at front desk is always helping with any information that you may need. Highly recommended.

The best place I could have chosen for my son. In just two weeks we have seen so much progress in him. The coaches are great, professional, and great human beings. The coaches don't just teach jiu-jitsu, they teach respect among teammates and anti-bullying. It moves me to see how the kids who have been here longer help my son with such respect and dedication. Don't hesitate to join this great family.🥰

Title: Unprofessional instructor broke trust and confidentiality. My experience with Instructor Gleibe Andrade at Gracie Barra Hialeah Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was deeply unprofessional and a violation of trust, I am writing this review to warn others about a serious breach of confidentiality. I had privately discuss sensitive, personal information to the instructor under the assumption that the conversation was private and would be handle with discretion, and after asked him 3 times during my conversation with him over phone that this conversation must remain between him and myself. Instead Instructor Gleibe Andrade later disclosed this confidential information to one of a family member and also had me in a speaker as well to have someone else listening my conversation while we were on the phone. The breach of trust created a very uncomfortable and harmful environment for the student since the informed family member made the student aware of the situation with details. As a family member I expected a level of professionalism and respect for privacy, specially when discussing sensitive topics . Any instructor , or anyone in a position of authority, should create a safe space for their students. By sharing my private information instructor Gleibe Andrade demonstrate a profound lack of professionalism, integrity and judgment. With his lack of integrity he affected the kid relationship with family members to the point that the kid does not want to see the person and does not want to be close or have any contact, and do not love this person. The instructor"s behavior was deeply disappointing and has eroded my trust in the dojo, I urge anyone considering training there to be cautious and aware of the potential risks to the their personal privacy. His actions instead of protect the child caused a trauma in the student by the way it was handled later on by the informed person, creating a very distressed situation for all the family members involved. He said that the school board supported him on this action. I only care about this child and it was really cruel to expose this kid to the chaos he created with his lack of confidentiality. I understand your concern about responding, but not with lies. We've already spoken, and there's no need to repeat ourselves.
