As a late comer in Gracie Jujitsu, Gracie Barra Jacksonville is a Gem;I used to come from Toronto Canada to Jacksonville for holidays and check a few Brazilian Jujitsu schools and Gracie Barra Jacksonville got my attention and I knew some day this was going to be the place for me to train,at first my granddaughter was enrolled in April 2017 at 5 years of age and the instructors were super great with the little kids,what a place!!! I said to myself and I started in August the same year and after a month of training got really sick end it up in the hospital for 15 days had surgery and could not train for several months and Professor Roberto froze my membership until he allowed me to come back and train always watching every move I made and so were the Coaches even to this day they are always checking me out making sure I am ok .Do I recommend this school? Hell yes....On a side note those that believe they are old,you don´t know what you are missing, I am 64 years young and enjoy my Jujitsu at Gracie Barra Jacksonville read more

Gracie Barra Jacksonville is truly a wonderful facility! Whether you're looking for self defense, children's classes or instruction from beginner to higher level jiu jitsu competition training, this is the best place to be in Jacksonville. My 10 year old daughter and I recently relocated from California, and have been warmly welcomed into this new jiu jitsu family. My daughter is enjoying the kid's class, and I have found the adult class to be friendly yet challenging. The instructors/staff are attentive, knowledgable, and professional. Further knowledge and skill is brought to the table due to the diverse backgrounds of the instructors in not only in jiu jitsu but MMA and wrestling as well. If you're searching for a place to begin or continue look no further! read more

We absolutely love this place. I have two boys that attend. My youngest son just placed at his recent tournament thanks to the hard work he's put in. He couldn't of done it without the coaches at Gracie teaching him all he knows. He loves it and I love anytime he spends off his phone & tablet. My oldest son also attends, he has special needs. The amount of patience and understanding that all the coaches give him is amazing. He just wants to do what everyone else is doing at his age. We have good days and some days where he just wants to sit and watch. Whatever he's willing to give is a day he's socializing with peers and learning social skills. I'll take it! I'm so happy we found Gracie Barra. What a great team of coaches that work here read more

After being nervous to start training Jiu-Jitsu for years, I emailed Gracie Barra and set up a trial class. 6 months later, I wish I had started years ago. Everyone was so welcoming and respectful. Coming from a background of competitive team sports, I was especially nervous about joining as a female. These fears have been absolutely squashed. The fellow females at Gracie Barra have been nothing but accepting and encouraging and the men have been so respectful. Not only are the coaches great, but those who are experienced share their knowledge and are always willing to answer questions. read more

Gracie Barra Jax (GB) is an excellent choice for those interested in Jiu Jitsu and Kickboxing. I trained at GB in 2016 and have returned after a hiatus. The facility is spacious and well maintained. The staff members are professional and welcoming. The curriculum is consistent and challenging, but doable regardless of skill-level. Overall GBJ is one of the best martial arts schools to train at in town. read more
