Had my intro class today and learned a lot. I signed me and my grandson up were excited to start training

Amazing place, fun and friendly environment!

The Gracie-Barra Academy is easily and by far the best martial arts school I have ever attended. I have been practicing martial arts for over 25 years and I can state without reservation that the Gracie-Barra Academy provides the best martial arts training and instruction available anywhere. I feel like I have found my permanent martial arts home in Gracie-Barra. Professor Binder is a first-rate black belt instructor, a consummate professional, and a respected leader. I have been extremely impressed with the quality his instruction. The team atmosphere promotes a strong sense of pride in the school where anybody is welcome to join. The atmosphere is also conducive to promoting camaraderie among the students. The staff is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, and the facility itself is in impeccable condition. Students at the Gracie-Barrra Academy learn not only great self-defense, but have fun doing so and get a great workout as well! I feel like l am in the best shape of my life.

Firstly; the Gym is wonderful, very relaxed, welcoming vibe. Always clean and well maintained.Secondly: Professor Dave is an awesome instructor. Knowledgeable, patient and technical.Thirdly: youll come across great training partners that are always willing to help you learn and evolve.Cant go wrong!

A great experience for me and my 8-year-old daughter. Professor Dave Binder is professional, approachable, patient and an absolute savage. That combination makes for a learning environment that is welcoming and fun. Melissa runs the show with professionalism and poise. Ive been doing martial arts for years and at multiple gyms and this Gracie Barra is as good as it gets.

Just moved to Albuquerque, set up my trial class and came to roll on Friday. I got there and was told that I couldn’t do a trial class on Friday, ok lame, can I pay a mat fee and attend the class and roll? Nope. I’ve never experienced anything like this in any gym anywhere else in the country. I can’t understand why I wasn’t allowed to drop in or why I wasn’t forewarned before I scheduled my evening around it. Ridiculous. Needless to say I won’t be back.

My have my 3 year old son here and he loves it! All of the kids are super nice to each other and help my son learn the ropes. I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking to put their 3 year - 4 year old in an activity.

The cleanest, most professional gym that i have been to in Albuquerque.Could not tell you of a better gym to start your bjj journey at than this one. Dave is a knowledgeable, patient instructor, that I would recommend to anybody. And the staff and other students are friendly and welcoming.

This is an excellent facility to train! Perfect class sizes with one of the best instructors in Albuquerque, David Binder.The facility and front desk are maintained very well, thanks to Melissa.Simply the best.

Excellent program for kids. It is obvious the coaches love teaching Jiu-Jitsu and it translates to the lessons in the class!

This sport and gym has provided us with more than what we came for. Professor Fabio and coach Amadeu make this Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym feel like home. Their program director, Logan, is always prompt and willing to help.My wife and I began our jiu-jitsu journey at Gracie Barra on Academy and have enjoyed not only the cleanliness of the facility, but most importantly the respect that each person has for one another.Highly recommended! We hope to see you on the mats!

The schools is clan and high end. Melissa runs the school great and everything flows well and looks great. Add the skills and help of professor Dave and if its your first class or 100th you leave with new skills. Not only a great martial art in a respectful environment but a great work out as well. If you havent tried it dont wait. Call or see Melissa and get started!J. Ciddio

Ive been training here for about a year now it not only has changed my life but my familys as well both my wife and sons train here with me now we love atomospher and the training and wouldnt go anywhere else. Welcoming atmosphere with world class training.

Absolutely love this school. Ive been training here for over 3 months now and I am totally hooked. The instructors are top notch, fellow students are great folks to train with, and Melissa does a great job keeping everything runnin smooth and taking care of any issues. I highly recommend The Gracie Barra Albuquerque branch to anyone interested in learning Brazilian Jiujitsu.

Much more than just a place to train and learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Professor David Binder and the whole team are like family and always genuinely welcome each student. Great place for kids and adults.

Great place. Friendly atmosphere. Excellent instruction. Mydaughter loves it!

Great instruction friendly and accommodating atmosphere I highly recommend this academy to anyone looking for top knot notch instructionand a great work out.

I didnt know what jiu-jitsu was when I walked in but seemed busy and very nice inside. I was instantly greeted by Dave the professor and a very friendly gal named Melissa. She helped me get a gi and sign me up for an intro class. All the students and staff were great. As a woman walking into a martial arts school it can be nerve racking but this was so easy and warm. I cant wait for my next class and thank you again for the help Melissa!J.C

Great place to learn Jiu Jitsu with an excellent professor, Dave Binder. Great family environment, great training partners, and clean facilities. Ive really enjoyed my time training at Gracie Barra Albuquerque. Signed up myself and liked it so much that I signed up the rest of my family. Great affordable Jiu Jitsu academy.

Professor Dave is great with the kids. My daughter loves going and it is in a great location.

Outstanding training with Professor David Binder for both children and adults. His patience and depth of knowledge is fantastic and he encourages people to build an excellent foundation and work hard, whether you want to compete or not.Great workout, building/growning your jiu jitsu skills and practical application of technique are standard fare.For the childrens class, he is patient, friendly and an excellent example of a leader. The children look up to and respect him and have a great time while learning excellent skills.Highly recommend this school to anyone wanting to train Brazilian jiu jitsu in the Gracie Barra style!

I have trained at a few different Jiu Jitsu gyms now. Gracie Barra by far has the best structure for both beginners and experienced grapplers. The facility is extremely clean and world class. Professor Dave is an amazing teacher, extremely friendly and helpful. He fosters a strong team atmosphere that focuses on technique as they smash you while teaching you until you are the one doing the smashing. Choose your GB gym in ABQ, and receive world class instruction from any of their professors.In addition their kids program is also awesome and my son has even said that he felt like he was playing the whole time as oppose to previously grinding through class. I have seen first hand the impact that Jiu Jitsu has had on his life and it is has been profound.Come to Gracie Barra and unlock the power of The Glow.- The Last Dragon - Movie - 1985

Super clean. Excellent black belt instructors.

Super friendly environment with an extremely knowledgeable staff.
