Everything about this gym is wonderful! Professor Arnaldo is amazing. He is so good about teaching to YOUR skill level and building up. He truly has an incredible talent and personality.
The other students are awesome too! They’re so willing to help newcomers like myself. I never felt out of place or anything.
The atmosphere is amazing and so is the value Arnaldo tries to reach to all his students. Sportsmanship, respect, and honor. All core values of a martial artist.
Sadly I’m moving so I won’t be part of this amazing gym anymore, but Professor Arnaldo has been amazing in assisting with that. He truly understands that life happens and I truly appreciate his view about martial arts and that it’s for everyone at anytime in their lives.
Such an amazing place I wish I could give it more stars!
Also, love the wrestling classes (no gi) on Tuesdays and Wednesday such a fun and high pace class.
I strongly encourage you to try it. If you have children this will be GREAT for them too! It truly is an awesome space and I hope this review helps them attract many new members. If any place deserves to thrive and succeed this establishment ESPECIALLY deserves it!

Read moreBack in January I was in search of a BJJ gym for my son. I was looking for something fun, where he would build skills and work on managing his emotions (quick temper but feelings get hurt fast, etc) I knew when we tried out Gracie Barra Cedar Hill that we’d found it. Professor is amazing with the kids and has the perfect mix of fun and engaging (you can tell he genuinely likes them) but also is able to be serious and rein them in when they get rambunctious. My son has learned so much and is actually using the tools he’s learning in class to manage his emotions in other situations!!! After a few months, I’ve joined myself and am so happy to be here. I’m being pushed and I can feel myself getting stronger, but it’s such a safe place to be totally brand new. There’s a kids room so the parents can train, which makes coming out to class so much easier. Thank you Professor for making a safe home away from home for whole families that want to take...
Read moreI recently trained at Gracie Barra Cedar Hill while I was in Dallas, and it left a lasting impression. Being a blue belt with a couple of years in BJJ, I have a good sense of what works, and this place definitely fits the bill. The atmosphere was friendly and inviting, making me feel right at home. Professor Arnaldo's attentive approach with personalized corrections showed their dedication to every student's improvement.
The school's cleanliness and well-organized setup added to the positive experience. They incorporated warm-up and cool-down routines during the two sessions that I trained there. Not every school emphasizes cool downs, but I appreciated that they did. It added a thoughtful dimension to the training experience.
In a nutshell, Gracie Barra Cedar Hill offers a welcoming community, hands-on coaching, clean facilities, and a well-rounded training philosophy. Highly recommended for practitioners of all...
