    After three years at another BJJ studio that was not the right fit, we knew it was time to find a…read moreschool that would truly elevate our son's skills and confidence. We were looking for strong competition training, real structure, solid belt progression, and a culture that would help him grow both on and off the mat. From the moment we walked into Gracie Barra Boca, we felt the difference. The environment was organized, professional, focused, and positive. We were warmly welcomed, introduced to Enzo & the coaches, and my son immediately felt comfortable and at home. I love that they had my son sign his own contract. That is super empowering & teaches accountability. What has stood out most is how knowledgeable the coaches are and how clearly they teach technique. They break down skills in a way that makes sense, correct mistakes quickly, and truly pay attention to detail. You can tell they know what they are doing and care about developing strong athletes. My son had a tough first competition experience at his previous school that shook his confidence. The move he lost on stuck with him. By day three at Gracie Barra Boca, that exact move had already been corrected and sharpened. Three days. The level of instruction and focus is impressive. In just a few days, his confidence has already shifted. He walks in proud & excited. He feels capable. He loves being there. I've noticed his confidence spread out into other things in his life from being here. If you are looking for a BJJ school that builds confident competitors, teaches discipline, and provides structured, high level training, Gracie Barra Boca is it. We are so grateful we made the switch!

    My kids go here for aftercare, lessons, and summer camp. They absolutely love this place!…read more The staff is great with kids and really cares about them and their development. The entire team takes great care of them. They love the lessons and are learning amazing skills. We have also done Saturday morning family classes, which are an outstanding way to connect with your kids. They tried 6 different camps, and this was by far their favorite. I can't say enough good things about the programs and staff. My kids are 8 & 10 (girl and boy).

    Ive studied martial arts my whole life. Mostly striking. Im in sports rehab and have worked with…read moreseveral UFC athletes. NFL, Professional golf and many other sports. I was introduced to the instructor by a friend. Marcelo Silveira is a high ranking black belt and one of the original founders of American Top Team. Jiu jitus is a very physically demanding sport. It's also inhabited by a lot of rough trade. Its not for the weak of heart. There is a lot of hazing, bullying, ranks and cliques. You expect that going in. You learn to survive and hold your own. Its combat sports, not needle knitting. Lots of egos and attitudes. For 8 years I was a loyal student. I fought and competed and represented the school and my teammates. I tolerated the non-stop hazing. The homophobic slurs and name calling. The insults. I never complained. I went from white belt to purple belt in 8 years. During the 8 years I watched the instructor mistreat and abuse several students with years of history. Attempt to sleep with female students. Throw people out for one perceived slight or another. At one point I was suspended for not coming to class. The instructor told everyone he didnt care who had to work. If you miss class your out. Oct 6 I was rolling with the instructor and he purposely ripped my arm over my head with no warning and no opportunity to tap. My pec was torn off the bone, Torn bicep, torn rotator, permanent damage to the shoulder joint. It only went downhill from there. Tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills. 4-6 months of rehab 3-4 months I cant work. The arrogance of the instructor. No insurance. No business license. I had paid money for privates and even paid money in advance for a seminar which he has refused to return. He doesnt care about his students in the least. This man is a menace. He shouldnt be teaching anywhere. I started talking to other members in the community. This is not an isolated incident. There is a long history of this. He is known for this. Most everyone in the community stopped dealing with him years ago for his antics and behavior. This is why he has no students. This isnt sour grapes. Im not a white-belt. I was a senior student with a perfect record of conduct on the mats. A loyal teammate and one of his best students. I trusted this man as my coach and instructor and spent 8 years working my ass off and putting up with so much drama and disrespect. As a professional coach of over 30 years I am disgusted. This man uses jiu jitsu as an excuse to mistreat and abuse people. He holds jiu jitsu over peoples heads. Ive been a business owner and member of the Boca Raton community since 2009. I stand by my statements. He shouldnt be teaching. He's a low life excuse for a human. Beware.

    I took a trip with my family down to Florida a few weeks ago and decided to walk into the nearest…read moregym to keep up on my training. I ended up walking into this gem in the sand! Marcelo (the owner) was very knowledgeable and welcoming. He even rolled with me (which I thought was very kind considering I was just a guest for the week). All the students had great attitudes too! I appreciated that a lot too because I've visited gyms while traveling where students and instructors were less than hospitable and just used guest as training dummies. All that said....I found my gym in South Florida!
