Gracie Barra Bellevue TN Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Self Defense

My family and I have been training with Professors Chris and Justin for 4 years. They are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and supportive, and they do an outstanding job with both kids and adults. In the kids classes, they focus not only on jiu-jitsu but also on confidence, discipline, and respect, creating a fun and positive environment. The adult classes are just as great—challenging, well-structured, and welcoming to all skill levels. Whether you’re brand new or experienced, you feel encouraged and supported every step of the way. The atmosphere is friendly, motivating, and truly feels like a community. I highly recommend Gracie Barra Bellevue to anyone looking to start or continue their jiu-jitsu journey—come try it out, you won’t regret it!

Gracie-Barra in Bellevue is a special place. I have two boys taking classes there. Professor Chris is an excellent teacher. He maintains order while still allowing large classes of children to have fun and build confidence while learning. We are so grateful to be a part of Gracie-Barra in Bellevue. I cannot recommend signing up for the kids and adults enough.

Gracie Barra Bellevue is the sister school to the Gracie Barra Franklin location and the instructors are all fantastic. I've been training for just over 3 years and have nothing but good things to say about jiu jitsu and the curriculum taught by Professor Justin and Professor Chris and the multiple other coaches they have. The kids program is great and they always have plenty of coaches to give your children the attention they need, and the adults' classes have a wide range of different levels and skills so no matter where you're at in your training, you'll fit in. it really is a place for everyone.

My son Madden has had a tremendous experience with Gracie Barra of Bellevue. The professors and instructors have been encouraging and professional. The kids are also extremely polite and friendly. Would highly recommend to any parent seeking to get their child into martial arts!

This place is awesome! My daughter loves the classes. Our previous gym was great (2 1/2years) but we changed to this gym after we moved because it was closer. They are fantastic with the kids- they manage to be super informative, instructive, fun, while also keeping the discipline and maturity of the students in mind. These new owners are great! Update: I recently have been able to participate in the parent / kid class. It’s awesome and so much fun. It’s a great way to connect with my daughter and learn some new skills while I am at it.
