We couldn't picture our life without the team and community at Gracie Barra. The instructors are top notch, and super great guys. They keep the instructional lessons relevant for each skill level, and the kids start learning as soon as they try their first class. 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!

I feel like they do a great job of safety and teaching. I went to another gym yearsssss ago where my second class I was already rolling with a really beefy guy and I couldn't move, not a great experience. But here at Triangle, they do a great job of making sure we feel confident before we jump in and there's a time frame before we can start participating in the live training and also when women and men can start rolling together which is pretty cool (makes it less pressure)! Coach Clay is awesome and top class and so are the other coaches (Shoutout to Coaches Reishi, Owen and Justin). We're really excited to continue learning and growing here! Currently taking BJJ and Muy Thai thank you guys for your hospitality and care!

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

They are mindful to people's past and triggers and they explain everything very well. They are very knowledgeable of the craft. I was pregnant during this and they were very accommodating and modified things, obviously if you're being attacked the bad guys won't care but it was nice to learn some moves to protect yourself specially when you are pregnant. They have a studio inside of Franklin Athletic Club and they have different types of classes. They also have only women classes if the ladies rather not have a stranger male as a partner. I totally recommend and will be coming back!!!
