One of the best jiu jitsu gyms in the area! I’ve taken my son to several and this one is top tier! Great professors, great facilities, and great people to train with. I would highly recommend checking this place out if you’re a parent looking to get their child active, disciplined, and taught a great martial art they could use in real life. They’ll give you a trial class to see if it’s a good fit before you get signed up. Couldn’t ask for more!
Our experience with Gracie Barra Richmond Jiu Jitsu Academy has been nothing short of exceptional. The professors here are incredibly dedicated to their students' progress and well-being. My kids have found a second home here, where they are not only learning invaluable self-defense skills but also developing confidence and discipline. The environment is welcoming, supportive, and focused on personal growth. I couldn't be happier knowing that my kids are in such capable hands. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a top-notch Jiu Jitsu academy for their children!
Gracie Barra Richmond has exceeded our expectations. My teenage son was looking for a Jiu Jitsu program and has gained that and much more. The experience and expertise is clearly evident but that is just the beginning. The professors are in touch with each student as an individual and have a passion for teaching them. They are patient and thorough with each technique. The entire staff cares about their students on and off the mat. He has gained a family and we are grateful to have found them.
