Had a good time at the classes and will drop in again next time I’m in town.Posted on JacintaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was a bit nervous to try this at first being a woman and having no experience with Jiu Jitsu but I have felt welcome every step of the way. A core tenant of Gracie Barra is Jiu Jitsu for everyone and they do a great job practicing this principle by welcoming all skill levels and people. The instructors and even other students are invested in the progress of all the students and I can really feel they want me to succeed. If you are thinking of giving it a try I would definitely recommend Gracie Barra!Posted on Josh KalinowskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son has been going here for 3 years or so. He has made many friends and has competed in a few competitions. He absolutely loves it. The coaches are great and the professor there is amazing. All of the staff are kind, friendly, responsible, and accepting. It’s simply a wonderful place.Posted on Andrew PerlmutterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great BJJ school. Friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend.Posted on Naudia SantiagoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just started this program, and even with an athletic background, I was a bit apprehensive about starting because of never doing this sport before. But After 3 weeks I’ve fallen in love with this sport, the environment, you really feel the support from coaches and teammates. It feels like a team and family at Gracie Barra , everyone is there to help you improve and your there to help them improve. In just a few weeks I can say I have a lot more confidence, and I’m excited for this journey and learning all I can.Posted on Edwin DavoodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have never been to any other BJJ schools but I don't think it can get better than this. I signed up my 4 and 1/2-year-old son 3 months ago and the amount of progress that he has made in past 3 months is amazing. The coaching staff and the front desk are very professional, helpful and patient. They'll go out of their way to help you. If you are reading this review and thinking about signing up your kid at Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Deerfield, Don't think twice do it!

Great school, amazing professors and coaches, and very friendly students of all ages! Our family of four goes to Gracie Barra Deerfield. On day one, we were warmly welcomed by Coach Phuong and Professor Marcelo. I immediately appreciated how Coach Phuong asked for the correct pronunciation of my name, and she has never forgotten it! She is very welcoming, attentive, and patiently answers all questions and concerns. Professor Marcelo is one of the most pleasant people I have ever met! He is firm but very kind, considerate, and explains all the movements very well. His passion for Jiu Jitsu is evident in his teaching and in the way he cares about all the students in the class. My sons, 10 and 12, also trained in both regular and private classes with Coach Luis. He is excellent with younger children, patiently correcting their movements. What I really appreciate is the coaches' approach, especially with kids; they always ask if they can offer a tip! Similarly, Coach Odysseas is an amazing trainer as well. He is very attentive and always kindly guides myself and my sons to correct our forms or improve our technique. He very patiently explains the move as many time as needed to myself :) After class, people often enjoy rolling on the open mat, having a great time and practicing the moves. This speaks volumes about the culture that Professor Marcelo and his team have nurtured at this location. They truly embody the motto "Organized Like a Team, Fighting Like Family". I highly recommend Gracie Barra Deerfield and cannot say enough good things about the team.Posted on Drew GronerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Professor Marcelo and the entire coaching staff are absolutely fantastic! Such a great community and place to learn BJJ. I highly recommend Gracie Barra in Deerfield to all!
