To start off the place really is filled with professional fighters in there and is one of the best locations. The staff there is very friendly and flexible and trustful people! I also saw many children discipline in a positive way and having fun at the same time. To which all the staff were awesome with kids. I also want to give a big shoutout to Professor Jamisin! He was a very wise, kind, helpful mentor and really was great with connecting with me on a mentor level and amazing at training me to protect myself to which he emphasizes a lot. Him and his family are very kind souls and had an honor of being trained by Professor Jamisin and promise you would benefit being trained by him and going to that gym location. 10/10 ✨👍🏻

My boys love the family here at Gracie Orlando! Professor Jamisin promised me progression in my boys and the confidence boost he and his team have given my sweet boys is amazing! I recommend this place to anyone looking to give their sweet, gentle kids a confidence boost for the rough world out there. I’d give more than 5 stars if I could 💙

Training under Professor Ray at Gracie Barra Orlando has been an incredible experience. His passion for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is contagious, and his teaching style is both clear and motivating. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned practitioner, he makes everyone feel welcome and challenged in the best way. Professor Ray not only focuses on technique and discipline but also builds a strong sense of community and respect on the mats. The environment is safe, supportive, and always pushing you to grow physically and mentally. If you’re looking to improve your BJJ, gain confidence, and be part of an amazing team, GB Orlando with Professor Ray is the place to be. Highly recommend!

First off, let me just say: Gracie Barra Orlando is hands down the BEST! Hey there 👋🏽 I’m Tiara, and if you’re reading this review, trust me—keep going. Every summer for the past 4 years, I bring my two nieces down from Michigan to Florida. Normally, it takes about a full week to adjust to Auntie Tiara's household—rules, routines, discipline and all that good stuff. But this summer? GAME. CHANGER. I enrolled them in the Gracie Barra Kids Program, and I noticed a shift after just ONE class. That night, they were knocked out cold by 9:30 PM 😴—and I mean out like lightbulbs. Laundry? Folded and put away after their showers. Attitudes? Respectful. Energy? Balanced. They respected me, respected each other, and most importantly—respected themselves. I was shook—in the BEST way! They’ve been laughing, playing, and encouraging each other like true teammates. And if you’re still reading... oh yes, it gets better. After just ONE WEEK of GB Orlando, I’ve even learned a thing or two as their Auntie. Thanks to Professor Jameson, I started giving them options with time frames instead of barking orders. You know what happened? They chose. They committed. They followed through. Like little disciplined warriors. 🤯 And this right here? This sealed the deal: I overheard my 8 and 9-year-old having a conversation. Carli (the younger one) was talking, and Nyla (the older) interrupted. Carli paused, then calmly said, "I stopped talking because you interrupted me. I’ll wait until you're done." Excuse me?! Did she just set a BOUNDARY?! 🫢😮‍💨 Long story short— They’re smiling more, listening harder, getting stronger, communicating better, and yes... learning how to choke people out with love 😂🥋 If you’re thinking about enrolling your child here—DO IT. It’s not just martial arts. It’s respect. discipline. confidence. and growth—for both the child and the parent. Forever grateful,

Taking on the challenge of committing myself to Gracie Barra has been one of the best experiences of my life! Before starting I was in a bad place mentally and physically. I was 260lbs and I lacked discipline. Things started off slow, but at a certain point I decided that I wanted to be better than what I’d shown, and once I’d come to that conclusion my professors were there to guide me. Professor Jamisin was there push me toward greatness, showing me how to push past my limits and dedicate myself to putting in the work, and through that work I was able to overcome my mental barriers and progress. Professor Salenko has also been a great influence on my journey providing a daily challenge that continues to hone my skills toward the goal of mastery. Through their guidance as well as other Professors such as: Miguel, Leo, Caesar, Himundo, and Eriks; as well as a highly accomplished training partners; not only have I gotten down to 230lbs in 3 months, but mentally I feel sharper than ever!!!

If you're looking to get into Jiu-Jitsu, Gracie Barra Orlando is hands down one of the best gyms in the world. The talent here is unmatched, and I am incredibly grateful for my decision to start training here. Professor Jamisin is the perfect instructor for intro classes, especially for street self-defense. His teaching style made the learning process easy and enjoyable. If you're ready to change your life, don’t wait, sign up today! Five stars all the way!

The facilities and professors/coaches are 10/10. We are regular visitors to the area and glad we have found these and will continue to use them. We arranged privates between myself and my brother with professor Jamisin as well as between professor Jamisin and my daughter. He is an exceptional teacher and was very patient with us being newbies to the sport, he adapted each session to match our current abilities while also pushing us to do better every-time. My daughter loved training with him, her sessions were fun but also very informative and she learned a-lot. She also joined in some of the kids classes which are exceptional as well. I would definitely recommend.

My 7 year old son has been doing Jiu-Jitsu in New Jersey for 2 years. I’ve sat through many many classes.! We stopped at Gracie Barra for a dropped class while we are visiting Orlando and I was extremely impressed with this school. The professors run the class in a very structured manor and made sure each child understood the moves and executed them perfectly! I’d suggest anybody looking to sign up their child, this is the place!!!!

Trained today with professor Ricardo. Thank you for being a welcoming academy. Appreciate your hospitality. Kavan

Such an amazing experience for my 7 year old son who started classes a month ago. The professors and coaches are high energy and committed to making sure each student gets attention and enjoys the class. I love how they teach self control and they take each class seriously. My son absolutely loves going each day! I wish I had signed my son up sooner!

First time visiting and there were 7 professors to keep us 3 visitors comfortable. I have visited dozens of GB schools across the USA and this school ranks among the best. Clean, great culture, easy going atmosphere. Highly recommend if you’re visiting the theme parks or living in the Orlando area. Thank you all

Dropped in while on vacation and I was welcomed with open arms. Everyone was super friendly and the professor was very knowledgeable. Class was challenging without overdoing it. I definitely plan on coming back and recommend giving this school a try.

GBO Orlando is the best! The professors push you hard to be the best that you can be. It is a great place where everyone loves BJJ and put their hearts out that it makes it for a great atmosphere to be in. It's great to be a part of the GBO family.

When I first moved to Orlando I was looking for a place that I can call my second home. At the naga tournament I was competing for a different academy when I saw professor Bruno wearing a Gracie Barra shirt. He helped me out coaching my match and then I hung out with the GB crew after that. I'm current a brown belt one stripe and I feel very fortunate to be a part of a great team that has an amazing facility and also an incredible team of instructors.
