I don’t know where to start about our experience at Gracie Barra-Rockledge. My husband and 2 sons take classes here, all for a different purpose. My sons are very different in personality and jiu jitsu has helped them both exactly the way we were hoping, and more. Their confidence has shined since beginning their jiu jitsu journey and it has become our second home! No more complaining when it comes to practice! The structure here was important and had us hooked from day 1! Not only are my sons learning jiu jitsu techniques, but they are also being taught important life lessons. Professor Alex has made a long-lasting impression on my boys and has become a very important influence in their lives. He is patient, kind and knowledgeable. He handles each age group perfectly and cares about their well being on and off the mats! The Gracie Barra team is filled with all amazing individuals and their families and welcomes anyone with open arms. Have no hesitation to give it a try, there is a place for you! Professor Alex and Lilly work hard to keep all of us happy and provides a clean and safe jiu jitsu environment at an affordable price and many opportunities...
Read moreProfessor Alex and the team at Gracie Barra Rockledge truly embody their motto 'Jiu Jitsu for Everyone.' No matter your experience level, age, or background, this gym has something to offer.
For beginners, Professor Alex and the coaches excel at breaking down movements into clear, easy-to-understand steps. They create a welcoming environment that fosters confidence as you learn the fundamentals. But don't be fooled – their expertise extends far beyond the basics. Advanced students are constantly challenged and their skills are pushed to the next level.
The inclusivity is fantastic. They have programs for veterans and separate classes for children, making it a great option for the whole family. And it's exciting to see more and more ladies joining Coach Lilly's classes – a great sign for anyone looking for a welcoming atmosphere for women.

Read moreLove it! Great family atmosphere where both kids and adults can participate in classes and adults can have once a month match with their kids even if you don’t have classes of your own. No one feels left out and all kids here are friendly. Coaches are very nice and approachable for any and all questions. Great with kids and really pay attention to strengths and weaknesses and take the time to help them learn and do it correctly. This is just a big family. I really appreciate they did take the time to address my son’s needs without making it stand out that he does have therapies for his occupational needs. They treated him no different than minimally adjusting tones, assistance, or approach that went virtually unnoticeable. When they say Jiu Jitsu for everyone, they really mean it. Therapists are amazed at his leaps and bounds in improvements in behavior and social que. I can’t be more thankful and amazed at how important this has become for us and this...
