GB Huntsville

Gracie Barra schools strive for excellence and Gracie Barra-Huntsville goes above and beyond those standards. Professor Helen and Professor Jimmie have grown such an amazing community in just 4 years and I don’t see it slowing down anytime soon. For my 10 & 5 year old, it has been the perfect place for them to have fun, feel safe and grow in this sport. As a 36 year old female, I have attended the female only class, and have developed a strong sense of confidence and made many life-long friends along the way. I could not recommend this school enough!

We have been part of Gracie Barra for over a year now, and we absolutely love it. My daughter started in the tiny champs program, and I attend the ladies class. The coaches and professors are patient, encouraging, and truly invested in each student’s growth. My daughter has gained so much confidence, discipline, and resilience since starting. The ladies class is empowering, welcoming, and such a supportive environment. We’re so grateful to be part of the Gracie Barra-Huntsville family!

Gracie Barra Huntsville is more than a school, it’s a community built on professionalism, discipline, and respect. Professor Helen and Jimmie lead with integrity, high standards, and a deep commitment to every student’s growth. Professor Helen’s dedication to women’s training is exceptional. She creates an environment where women are empowered, technically sharpened, and treated with intensity and respect. Her attention to detail, safety, and development truly sets the standard. Professor Jimmie’s leadership with the kids program is just as impressive. He builds confidence, discipline, and resilience in every child while keeping training structured, positive, and fun. The way they balance accountability with encouragement makes a lasting impact overall both on and off the mats. If you’re looking for a place that values character, commitment, and real jiu-jitsu for the entire family, THIS IS IT!!!!

My family and I have been training here for the past 3 years and we love it! Jimmie and Helen’s passion for Jiujitsu has created an amazing and welcoming community for all. I highly recommend checking out their classes, there are so many to choose from to fit your schedule.

If you ask anyone what’s the best part of Jiu Jitsu the answer is going to be the community and Gracie Huntsville truly embodies that. Professor Helen and Jimmy have created an inclusive and uplifting atmosphere based around self growth, compassion for others and a shared love for the sport. I can’t express how much this school and everyone a part of it has helped me became the best version of myself.
