Real reviews from the families who train at Gracie Barra Fleming Island.
Confidence, discipline, and a community that feels like family — the themes that come up again and again.
"Gracie Barra Fleming Island is a great place to start or continue your Jiu-Jitsu journey. The Professor and Coaches are great with teaching and giving instructions. My wife, my kids and I love the friendly environment. Like the motto says, organized like a team, fighting like a family."
"My 9 year old niece loves it here! She has fun and especially loves that she gets to practice with other girls her age. It's clean, safe and family friendly. Easy parking too."
"I'm kinda partial to this place. It has been a 2nd home for me the last couple of years. I found exactly what I expected to find at a Gracie Barra, and that's a great community and world class professors and instructors. My family all take part in the classes, too. It's a great place for helping kids build confidence and grow."
"Amazing place to train. Instructors are patient with the kids and are great with detail. So glad we found this place! Excellent way to teach respect and discipline. Great camaraderie as well. Can't say enough about the staff. We love them!"
"We've had our son enrolled for about a year now, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. Coach Eddie and Coach Max have been incredibly kind, patient, and professional throughout his journey. They create a positive, structured environment that teaches Jiu-Jitsu skills and builds confidence, discipline, and respect."
"My daughter has been part of Gracie Barra Fleming Island for just over a year. It was the best decision we've made for an extracurricular activity. She has learned discipline and respect, her self esteem has strengthened, and she's competed in three tournaments with multiple gold medals."
"This gym has the best atmosphere and an amazing professor as well as great coaches. My family and I have been training almost 3 years and couldn't be more happy with our choice. We have tried other gyms but none of them compared to Fleming Island."
"Excellent experience. Our 5 and 7 year old both train with Professor Max, Coach Eddie and Coach Will. The level of confidence this training has inspired in our children is noticeable by all of our family members. Parents who train are always quick to suit up and assist the coaches."
"Very welcoming place with a great group of folks all trying to get better together. I would highly recommend Gracie Barra to anyone. BJJ is for everyone, even this 52 year old dude!"
