testimonials

I brought my 14 year old son to Gracie Barra, after being somewhere else for a year and he's loving it! Great instruction, great format and he’s able to roll with people who are of similar age and experience.

Great program. We have been doing Gracie Barra in Franklin for almost 2 years. Great coaching staff with high quality training for kids.

Professors and coaches are awesome. They are very professional and able to relate well to the Champions (students). Classes are staffed so every student gets individual instruction. Is a wonderful experience for my 6yr old granddaughter!
