By far the best BJJ school I’ve ever been to. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. They take the time to help those who need it and challenge those looking to advance their skills. Professor Tyler has created something special here.

I'm very pleased with this place after signing up my 5 year old about 6 weeks ago. Coaches are great. They teach discipline, respect, sportsmanship, and hard work! My kid has shown great improvements not just in class, but his overall behavior at home as well. Not to mention, BJJ is by far the most practical martial art for self defense techniques and has been proven to work!

The Gracie Barra gym in Washington, MO is an excellent place to train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Professor Tyler is very knowledgeable and extremely professional. I would recommend this gym to any person of any age group. If you have even the slightest interest or desire to train Jiu-Jitsu, I encourage you to stop by and talk to Professor Tyler, and come in for the introductory class. The coaches are great with kids and take their education seriously. Not only do the kids (and adults) learn Jiu-Jitsu, but they learn life skills, how to interact with others politely and with good manners, and a healthy respect for authority. For myself, this has been a life-changing, and humbling experience. Not only are the instructors excellent, but the comradery I am finding here is fantastic. Everyone you train with has a great attitude and only wants to help you get better. Ego's get checked at the door and Professor Tyler is excellent at keeping things this way. I look forward to training here for many years to come.

I had a chance to train at this gym while on vacation. I wanted to take the time to write a review because I had such a positive experience. I've trained at a lot of gyms over the years and Gracie Barra Washington is one of the tops. Excellent instructor and an overall great training vibe. If you live in the area I would definitely check them out.

We’re very thankful for the fantastic instructors at Gracie Barra. In the nearly two years since our son joined, his skills, confidence, and competitive drive have grown even more than we’d hoped! He loves competing, and has formed some great friendships. I only wish we had signed him up earlier!

Frequently Asked Questions

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at Gracie Barra Washington MO. It's the best way to experience our training environment, meet our coaches, and see if BJJ is right for you. No experience or equipment needed — comfortable athletic clothing is fine.

DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE TO START?

No experience necessary! Gracie Barra Washington MO welcomes complete beginners. Our instructors break down every technique step by step, and our community is known for being welcoming and patient with new students. Everyone starts as a white belt, and that's exactly where you should start too.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?

For your first visit, comfortable athletic clothing works perfectly — a t-shirt and shorts or athletic pants. Once you commit to training regularly, you'll want to invest in a gi (kimono). Our coaches can recommend quality options at a range of price points.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?

Most students at Gracie Barra Washington MO train 2 to 3 times per week and see consistent progress. Showing up regularly matters far more than training intensely once in a while. We offer multiple class times throughout the week so you can find a schedule that fits your life.
