Just came from Philly on vacation and decided to visit the academy. I was treated very well, and met some great people. The facility was clean and well kept to say the least. Id suggest anyone looking for a good gym with even better professors to come check it out! Have fun...

I went to Gracie Barra Orlando to visit as an out of town drop in, they were super nice and received me the best way possible. The main instructor was also kind enough to give me a roll and it was a nice tough round. Unfortunately I was not able to come back because I was on vacation and we had other activities already planned out.

My twin daughters love to have classes in GBO because all of the staff are nice, professional and enthusiastic. My girls are teenagers and not very strong, but they quickly adapt to the trainings and find fun. I am happy to see they will persist happily in this activity.

Best Jiu Jitsu gym in Central Florida!! I recently joined and I can assure you that the coaches and professors are so welcoming, patient and kind! My sister has been training here for 3 years and she loves her team and staff members. GREAT environment for women to start training self-defense and learning the value of it. They have great equipment, and they also provide Muay-Thai classes which I think is great!!

This school is exactly what I needed for my 7 yrs old. I had tried on others, but I was not satisfied. So, I found Gracie Barra on Instagram and I visited the place just to see. But I really loved the way that they work. Team are really professional and kids receive a personal training. Trainers are kind and respectful.Thanks guys! You are the best! And Jerry, you are very very kind too!

Was looking for a place to train and found this Gem in Central Florida. Felt like I was at home. Very good positive vibes and awesome people to train with. I let some of the higher belts know I recently started training and they showed me soo many new tricks and moves that I can take with me back home. Will definitely make it a habit to come back here to train when I come back to Orlando.GRACIE BARRA ORLANDO YOU ROCK 👍

I was very intimidated about starting to practice BJJ but this school really makes you feel like family. The professors are attentive when you are learning a new technique & are active on giving you pointers to get better at it. I enjoy every second of it. If you are thinking about it, even if its your first time doing any martial arts, I would recommend giving this school a try, you wont regret it.

Review №26

F-Minus! They push you to leave a positive review. Their reviews are boosted by multiple repeat reviews by employees, members or family members of owner and employees. The owner owns the painting business next door and has those employees and family leave positive reviews as well. As soon as they receive a negative review, they push more fake 5 star reviews. You can see this after each review that isn’t 5-Star a few days later their is a big amount of 5 star reviews.Go through the 200+ reviews, multiple reviews by the manager Jerry and Coach Lennon (Gabriel). Multiple fake reviews referring to people who don’t work there. Multiple reviews by the Silva family members including the owners brother who runs his own business(personal training) out of the same location.It doesn’t take much to find the review boosting. “New accounts” same names.

I love the Gracie Barra gym. It’s an amazing family of people that are no matter where your at friends and Jui jitsu family welcomes you in. I traveled to Orlando on vacation with the family and decided to bring my GI with me. I was able to walk in and be welcomed by everyone as if I was a distant relative. The training with those guys made it feel like I was back home rolling with my guys. There truly is no better place to learn.

I travel a lot for work. In the past 10 years, I have trained in dozens of Jiu Jitsu schools, in several states (and other countries). I can honestly say you won’t find a better place to train in Orlando.The gym is modern and clean. I mean VERY clean. Fantastic hygiene is a sign of a good school.The people are extremely friendly. As a visitor, I felt welcomed, as if I had been a member for ages. All belt levels treated me like a long-lost friend.The instruction was first-rate. Of course, we all know Gracie Barra is a name synonymous with quality. This gym is certainly at the top of their list. Great instruction, with the ability to explain to people of all skill levels.This is THE PLACE to train in Orlando!

Review №38

5 stars hands down without a doubt! Jerry welcomed me in as part of the family the moment I walked in. Jerry took the time to give me a 20 minute intro into what Gracie Barra is all about and some of the workouts I would encounter. From there Coach Brandon took over and assisted me with anything I needed during the class. He was super professional and his explanation of the moves, details and techniques were of professional standard. Immediately I could tell that he has plenty of experience in BJJ. He is super patient and a wealth of knowledge. So for anyone out there reading this and interested, please give it a shot. Your first class is free and everyone is welcoming and very respectful of others. There is no obligation and you are not tied down to any lengthy contracts. I love my GBO family!

Absolutely the best kids martial arts/physical activity program in the area!

This is my first time being in a BJJ gym and it was truly an amazing experience. The staff is professional and courteous to say the least.

Review №51

I can’t say enough about Gracie Barra Orlando. You really have to come check it out to fully believe it. I won’t do it justice, but let me try to explain what I mean.I’m in my upper 30’s, sit behind a desk all day, I’m overweight, and completely shy and awkward in learning new things and interacting with new people. I know what I know very well and do not like coming out of my comfort zone. Realizing I wasn’t going to magically get in shape and wanting to be healthy and active for my family, I started looking into martial arts academies as that is something that has always interested me. Finding schools was the easy part. They are seemingly on every corner. I reached out to several and visited a few, but from the moment I reached out to Gracie Barra Orlando, it was different. I instantly felt welcome and wanted. I decided site unseen that this is where I wanted to be. When I showed up, I was blown away. The facility is amazing and super clean!Fast forward 2+ months later and I’ve lost 21lbs, increased my mobility, endurance, learned some amazing techniques, and look forward to every class. I feel like I have more energy in my day to day life and generally a more positive outlook on everything.The staff is what makes this place so special. The coaches and Professor are truly amazing. Being someone who teaches and coaches in my field, I think I can be extra harsh on criticizing others teaching in their field. I have nothing but positive feedback on all of them. They are all extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and genuine. Whether it is kids or adult classes, the staffs level of commitment to helping you learn in a fun, friendly, and supportive environment is second to none.If you are thinking about getting into shape, pursuing martial arts, or getting your kids active, don’t wait as long as I did. This place is truly amazing and you have to experience it to believe it.

Unlike most gyms they share values which most gyms don’t. They focus on making sure you’re comfortable while training and also work with you one on one to make sure you’re improving and constantly learning. The people at the gym all feel like family and want to see everyone improve all pure hearted people and coaches.

I’m learning from certified Instructors and the energy and attention they give to each of their students, including myself, proves that here, you will not only gain experience in jiu jitsu but also gain family. I highly recommend this gym to anyone interested in the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and to leave any hesitance at the door. I just want to say thank you to the instructors and all of my fellow practitioners for allowing me to be apart of something great and sharing their knowledge. It is a long journey but with practice and repetition you will achieve your goals here. Thank you Gracie Barra Orlando!!!
