Coach Carlos & his team are very passionate, knowledgeable, dedicated and kind and have so much patience with newcomers. I immediately felt welcome and excited to learn the many techniques without any fear. There is a variety of classes & times offered for both seeking adults or for children and even a self defense class strictly for women called Women Empowered. Whether you've tried martial arts previously or not, I feel Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is structured so well that you cannot fail to embrace it. If you've never tried martial arts, I invite you to come by and do the 10-day trial to explore a new way of life. I feel even in the short few weeks challenging myself to learn something new, I've developed a quiet confidence. I am in love with the idea of self mastery and believe I will be a lifelong student of Jiu jitsu!

Control the position, before searching for the submission. #SelfDefense

The earlier your child feels confident in their ability to defend themselves, the less likely they'll be to ever have to do so. #SelfDefense

We're practically there every day of the week. Initially, we did try other gyms and landed on Praia. Why do we love Praia? 1. The coaches- each coach has their unique style and strengths and my daughter appreciates each coach for different things but what they all have in common is their devotion to the love of the sport and they teach in a way where they break things down so the kids can understand. They're patient, they make things fun and they show the kids how to respect others and the mat. 2. The owner Thiago, definition of a true small business owner. Literally building everything from the ground up with real values, hard work, and genuine care for the members of the gym. 3. Clean gym- they're constantly wiping down the mats. The bathroom is always clean. It's never stuffy or smells like sweat. My two daughters and husband go here. We love it for my younger daughter because it's a place for her work on her coordination, make friends and learn discipline and respect. My oldest daughter competes in tournaments and we wouldn't have learned about her skill if it wasn't for Praia. She's learning new skills on and off the mat. With the support of her coaches- she learns how to be a team player, how to deal with tough situations and losses and how to try again and again and again. I would highly recommend Praia to any friends, family or strangers.

You can really tell they take a true ical approach -- it's not just about teaching techniques, but about building confidence, discipline, and respect. Every coach is attentive, patient, and genuinely cares about each child's progress. What I love most is how they know exactly how to connect with kids and keep them engaged while still maintaining structure and professionalism. The environment is supportive, positive, and very well organized. I highly recommend Praia Jiu-Jitsu to any parent looking for a place where their child will not only learn jiu-jitsu, but also grow as a person.

He doesn't just teach submissions and escapes; he teaches responsibility, humility, and perseverance. Watching my son grow under his guidance has been nothing short of inspiring. I have seen him become more focused, more respectful, and more driven on and off the mat. Paulo pushes his students, but always with encouragement. He expects the best from them, and in turn, they learn to expect the best from themselves. Gazze Academy isn't just a place to train it is a place to grow up strong, kind, and capable. I couldn't be more grateful for the environment Paulo has created and the example he sets every day.

We wanted to pick a studio that promoted confidence and constant resilience because she is a very strong-willed young lady. We tried 5 different studios, and to be honest, none of them stood out to us like GB did. Being the tiger mom I am, I want my daughter to try new things, work past her laziness, and know that quitting is never an option. I love that Gracie gives structure and instills a strong work ethic and respectfulness, which was a huge factor in why I chose GB for our daughter--the way they run their program, the way each coach gets down to the children's eye level, and how they expect children to always give it their best. The coaches, Professor, and Nathalia were supportive throughout the entire process. They never pressured our daughter into anything she was uncomfortable with. Although it took about a month for her to fully adjust to the training routine, Coach Curren quickly became our favorite coach. His calm, encouraging presence helps all the children feel at ease and confident during their sessions. Gracie Barra HB is definitely the adopted family you want your kids to have because they're absolutely the best! I recommend them to our friends all the time, and now another family has their girls training with them too.

My kids started Jiu Jitsu at one of the big franchise chains of jiu jitsu about 5 yrs ago. In the one yr there, the kids did a hand full of tournaments and collected some medals. It was a great experience. Shortly after, we found out about Ace Jiu Jitsu. We signed up because it was less expensive and had more classes throughout the week for the kids. Keep in mind, we were still a member at the other academy because we were bound to a 2 yr contract. After about 3 month at Ace, I took the kids back to the other academy and to my surprise my two white belt kids were tapping all of their yellow belts. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. 3 MONTHS of training at Ace couldn't have done this. Well before the yr ended, my 2 kids were both world champs in the Kids World Jiu Jitsu Championship, not to mention took gold in at least 4 other tournaments in that first year signing up with Ace. I believe my kids are great athletes and worked hard for everything that they have accomplished but they would not have done it without their coaches support in the class and on the mat sideline for each and every match they competed in. We have been with Ace ever since. Ace Jiu Jitsu doesn't just train my kids but also helps me with tournament info and sign ups. They treat us like family and never like a customer. read more

This place is awesome! The instructors are very knowledgeable (as you should expect) and also possess their own specialties, which they are always willing to share. And if all of their championships and accolades are any indication, their techniques are something you just might want to pay attention to. As the students themselves are constantly progressing, everyone maintains a nurturing atmosphere; while they want you to push yourself, the students are supportive in the development of junior members. In regards to the facility itself, the fact that the mat is cleaned twice a day is very reassuring. read more

So this was my 4th class today! I've been taking Muay Thai with Coach Rafael and Coach Osmar and I…read morecan say I'm having a blast. Being one of the very few females in this class, both coaches have taken the time to do 1 on 1 with me. It's challenging, but both coaches have been patient and encouraging. I really love it and highly recommend this gym to anyone wanting to get into MMA of any sorts. I must say only thing is I've been taking cardio boxing for last 6 months so I have the basic movements down like jab, crosses & hooks. I would def recommend getting the very basics down first it's a very fast moving class but other than that, still beginner friendly ! Can't wait for my next class :D

Since I keep seeing views on my previous review, I feel a need to update potential clients about…read morethis business so here is an updated review: Trust is everything in business. I wrote an awesome review back in 7/2023, halfway through the time we attended the gym. We started our membership in May. In June, my husband put in a 60-day notice with the front desk to end our membership by August 2023 since our kids were going to start school in September and our schedules didn't match with practice times at HB Ultimate Training Center. The lady at the front desk said she entered it in and that we were good. We had had every intention of going back to the gym again the following summer. We said our goodbyes to the other kids in August and thought it had gone smoothly. In Sept I checked my bank statement and found I had been charged for TWO more months. I was very upset because we did our due diligence in letting them know TWO MONTHS AHEAD OF TIME, like it stated in the contract. Suddenly the typically nice admins were not so nice, claiming we never told them (and since it was a verbal request, there was no time stamp to prove they had said they took care of it). I went in two different times, in person, without my children, to talk to them about this matter. The general manager claimed that the admin had entered it in wrong (instead of cancelling the membership, she had frozen the membership), so it was her fault, however he also claimed that their billing company are sharks and wouldn't reverse the charges even if he wanted to. So he suggested we go back to attending jiu jitsu lessons for 2 months, supposedly free of charge, that he could probably manage to get us back one month's worth of membership only, and then we could decide to sign up with them again if we wanted to. NO. After pulling this stunt, we would NEVER go back to this business. They eventually gave us back one month's worth of membership, I'll given them that. But unfortunately, it seems like it's a common tactic for other gyms too; it's so easy to sign up but so difficult to cancel. I would highly recommend for anyone that signs up with them to have the front desk or the general manager sign a typed document that they have received a request to freeze/end their membership to prevent from being unfairly charged more months. Also, if you do sign up, do it at the beginning of the month rather than the end of the month. They had told me initially that it would be prorated, but when I was trying to cancel my membership, and I told the general manager that they had charged me for an extra month, and he informed me that they had charged us for the entire month of May. HB Ultimate Training Center: if you want to stay in business, you need to treat your customers right. You lost 3 of us in one go for getting greedy.
