Gracie Barra Leesburg, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Self-Defense — Local services in Leesburg

Gracie Barra has changed my life. My son before starting jiujitsu, he was shy and did not know how to defend himself even though he had a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Since training at Gracie Barra he has learned confidence, respect and accountability amount other valuable skills.

Before jiujitsu I was always worried about my son, I could t never go to a brewery or any place and relax I was always worried watching him with other kids. Now I let him play and if a kid is a bully he will learn his first jiujitsu lesson for free.

Professor Charles and the coaches are absolutely amazing they teach the kids to work together and get along. They teach really valuable skills to the kids and are super patient. I have seen kids come In super scared and within weeks they have made such transformation because of the dedication of the staff. The kids also build relationship with other students and so do the parents, we are a tight family. I enjoyed seeing my son so much that I even joined and started to train. I train with Professor Dana on Tuesdays and Thursdays and she believes more in me than I ever have and it has made me progress in my jiujitsu. I totally recommend any ladies who are thinking about joining to join because it’s such life skill to have but also you build relationships with other moms and ladies, the program she runs for ladies is absolutely amazing. Once a month she plans a fun activity for her ladies. Professor Charles plans super cute events for the kids such as a movie night which is nice because parents can go enjoy themselves while the kids are having fun. Don’t waste your time in signing your kid for Tae Kwon do they won’t be able to defend themselves. Sign them up for jiujitsu with amazing professors who will make your child shine guaranteed. I am very particular when it comes to teaching my son but honestly Gracie Barra has exceeded my expectations. They work so hard to keep their school engaged and motivated with new events, I am very...

Their passion for their craft is evident, and it is reflected in the overwhelmingly positive feedback from parents and children alike. There is a 99.99% likelihood that your child will find joy and fulfillment in this school.

As a parent, I am profoundly grateful for the instructors. They not only impart valuable skills and patient guidance but also possess an intangible quality that is invaluable to every child and a blessing to every parent - they offer authentic mentorship. These instructors serve as the "other" adults in the children's lives, providing a source of guidance and support. My daughters have been fortunate to grow up in an environment that instills confidence and resilience, teaching them that jiu-jitsu is not about aggression but about self-discovery and unlocking one's potential. It is noteworthy that Coach Gavin and professor Charles personally lead many of the classes, ensuring a teaching style that emphasizes discipline and respect. I am deeply appreciative of their dedication and commitment.
