Training at Gracie Barra Ashburn and Gracie Barra Leesburg has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life, and that’s entirely because of the incredible Professors who lead these schools.

Their technical knowledge is world class, but what truly sets them apart is how much they care about their students as people. Every class is taught with patience, attention

I started training jiu jitsu in June and have had the most amazing 6 months at GB Ashburn. Professor Dana is an amazing human and incredible teacher. The environment and students at this school is nothing but uplifting, positive, and supportive of one another. This place is my second home and everyone here is my second family. Couldn’t be more grateful to have had such a great experience.
