Gracie Barra Fort Lauderdale | BJJ Fort Lauderdale FL 33306

I can’t say enough good things about this Gracie Barra Jiu-Jitsu gym. The place is amazing — always clean, organized, and very welcoming. The environment feels extremely safe and respectful, making it a great place to train for both men and women, regardless of experience level. The professors are highly experienced, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. They take the time to explain techniques in detail and genuinely care about each student’s progress. Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, you feel supported and challenged in the right way. The atmosphere is friendly, disciplined, and true to the roots of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I super recommend this place for anyone who is moving to or visiting South Florida and wants to experience real Brazilian martial arts. You won’t regret it!

We first signed up our kids at Gracie Barra Fort Lauderdale, and they were hooked from day one. The gym feels friendly, safe, and welcoming for families, which made it easy for the rest of us to jump in too. Professor Joao runs solid, clear classes that keep everyone learning and moving. Both he and Coach Raissa have a real gift with kids: patient, upbeat, and great at helping them build confidence. The place is clean, organized, and the whole team treats people well. It’s become a spot our family genuinely enjoys, and we’re glad we joined.

Our experience with the kids’ program at this jiu-jitsu gym has been absolutely amazing! From day one, the instructors, made my our daughter feel welcomed, supported, and excited to learn. The coaches are not only incredibly knowledgeable about jiu-jitsu, but they’re also patient, encouraging, and fantastic with kids of all ages and skill levels. The classes strike the perfect balance between discipline and fun. The instructors teach important techniques while also focusing on respect, teamwork, confidence, and self-control. I highly recommend this gym to any parent looking for a positive, structured, and empowering activity for their child.

It has been a little over 1 year since we started and our lives has changed to better!! This place GB Jiu Jitsu was the best choice for May daughter with ADHD.
