We couldn't picture our life without the team and community at Gracie Barra. The instructors are top notch, and super great guys.

Our boys are confident, strong, and are excellent listeners and we attribute much of that to the education they've received at Gracie Barra. Keep at it guys!

Instead, I finally got a text response, only to be told I needed to provide my full name before he can tell me anything about pricing or membership details, despite my repeated requests to call and naturally introduce ourselves over a phone call. After all my efforts to get in touch, it's absurd that I was refused basic membership options. This could have all been avoided if my initial request for a callback had been honored. I was ready to join, but the poor communication made me reconsider and go elsewhere.

Renzo Gracie Nashville is a world class martial arts school, due in large part to the head…read moreinstructor Shawn Williams. When I first met Shawn in 2007, I immediately knew that he was an instructor of a different level. He possessed the rare combination of having physical talent, a cerebral mind, and an unparalleled ability to convey the intricacies of the art to others. I started learning BJJ in 1996 and have trained with countless black belts over the years. I had already been training for over a decade when I met Shawn but I was blown away by his attention to detail, depth of knowledge, and ability to articulate techniques step-by-step as well as the underlying principles of the art. Shawn's technical prowess, world-renowned teaching ability, and his patience and support as a mentor are what has allowed me to accomplish my own goals as a black belt and school owner. He is committed to all of his students and truly believes in their potential. Shawn continues to inspire me and others with his relentless desire to improve as a practitioner and teacher. His passion and dedication to BJJ is evident in the many roles he has achieved throughout his career: high-level competitor, innovative teacher, pioneering commentator, and dedicated entrepreneur. Anyone would be extremely lucky to have him as an instructor and mentor. Alexander Aung 2nd Degree Black Belt Head Instructor, Common Ground Jiu Jitsu
