I have learned skills and techniques from John's Krav Maga classes that I've never learned any where else. I feel much more confident in my ability to defend myself in a variety of scenarios if ever needed. Leigh's MMA combat fitness classes are different and challenging every time. You will never get bored here! I've lost weight and I'm half the size I was when I started. I am stronger and can go further than I ever thought my body would go. Leigh is always positive, encouraging, and supportive. The camaraderie here is amazing as well! There really is no other place like this!

Besides having excellent martial skills, he is a superb teacher--whether for 5-year-olds or seventy-year-olds. He is compassionate and has an uncanny ability to recognize the capabilities of his students. No one is ever pushed beyond their tolerance. His ability to relate to children is unequaled. He teaches, however, more than punching and kicking. His emphasis on respect, character, focus, and diligence is especially beneficial to young students. The school atmosphere is always warm and friendly. Regardless of age, this is the best place for martial arts training that emphasizes physical and emotional growth. Very highly recommended!!!

I trained in martial arts for 23 years and was looking for Taekwondo classes after moving to…read moreFlorida, but none of the studios felt right. I came across this Krav Maga studio by accident, not even knowing what it was, and decided to give it a try. It turned out to be an incredible experience. Coaches Rendall, Kim, and Gracie are professional, supportive, and excellent at explaining techniques for all levels. The training is practical, focused on real-world self-defense, and always a great workout. The atmosphere is welcoming and motivating, with a strong sense of community. I highly recommend this studio to anyone looking to build confidence and learn effective self-defense.

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!
