We tried the trial class for my son and it was amazing. He enjoyed the class and the instructors were very attentive and kind to my son.
GBK is a great place for my son and I to train at. Flexible schedule with great professors! The members are like family and make it a very special place!
My son and I have been training at GB Kendall for around 6 weeks and we’re already hooked on BJJ. If you’re thinking about it, definitely come try out a class!
I've been part of Gracie Barra Kendall for four years. The sense of community is incredible, and the professors are skilled and incredibly knowledgeable. The positive atmosphere and camaraderie make this Jiu-Jitsu school exceptional. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great martial arts experience!
Awesome people and culture.
The art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has brought me purpose, understanding, belonging, friends... family. It is an everlasting journey; an extension of who I am. I am forever grateful for Master Erik, Master Matheus, and all of my past and present partners in combat.
I highly recommend this place; it’s become our family’s second home! My wife and three boys, who are students here, have experienced a fun and engaging environment for the past two years, thanks to the fantastic professors and coaches
Great people, great coaches.
Great representation of how jujitsu should be like everywhere.
GBK is awesome. You will learn Jiu Jitsu here. Great place to train!
Gracie Barra Kendall is a great school to learn BJJ. The head professor takes a real interest in each student's development. It has a friendly, competitive atmosphere, and being part of Gracie Barra means you can train at any of their schools worldwide.
Great community, great profesors if you are looking for a great place to learn to defend yourself and create new friend and get in shape this is the place
Knowledgeable professors, with years of experience and a genuine motivation to see you learn and improve. A well designed, clean and accessible facility in which to train. Most importantly, a positive environment where all your training partners help you grow.
I’ve trained at other gyms but GBK is the best one. Been here for 4 years now and I can confirm the instruction, cleanliness, and community are top notch. If you are on the fence or nervous about joining, just do it and you’ll never look back. 11/10

From the moment I arrived, I felt a warm and welcoming atmosphere. My instructor (Jose) is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about teaching, and he is always willing to answer any questions I have. The owner, Erik, has been super kind & accommodating as well. The facilities are top-notch, with plenty of space for training and a clean and well-maintained environment. What really stood out to me, though, was the sense of community at Gracia Barra Kendall. Everyone I met was friendly and supportive, and it was clear that the dojo was more than just a place to train - it was a family. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or a complete beginner, I would highly recommend Gracia Barra Kendall to anyone looking to learn Jiu Jitsu in a supportive and welcoming environment. It truly is a staple here in Kendall. Less
Great school good people we are like a family
Great gym, great environment, with amazing coaches and training partners. Good for all levels. Come for the jiu jitsu, stay for the acai
Excellent instructors, great people and flexible schedules. I’m enjoying to be a part of it!
This school is amazing. The camaraderie, friendship between the guys make you feel like you are at home. The professor interest on teaching and their commitment is incredible. Highly recommended.

Joining Gracie Barra Kendall has been a transformational experience for me, not just in my martial arts journey, but in my life overall. The atmosphere here is second to none, with an incredibly welcoming community that makes you feel like part of the family from the moment you step onto the mats. What really sets this school apart is their unwavering focus on the students. Every class is tailored to help individuals grow at their own pace, ensuring that each student receives the attention they need to refine their techniques and improve their skills. They foster a safe and respectful training environment that is conducive to learning and self-improvement, for both children and adults. The expertise and dedication of Professor Eric and Professor Matthew are truly exceptional. They're not just instructors; they're mentors who genuinely care about the progress and well-being of every student. Their ability to convey complex techniques in an understandable and accessible manner is remarkable, blending the traditional core of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with innovative approaches. Professor Eric's guidance through fundamentals and advanced concepts alike shows his deep understanding of BJJ. His patient and strategic teaching style provides a solid foundation for beginners and a challenging environment for seasoned practitioners to thrive. Professor Matthew's classes are dynamic and engaging, instilling the principles of hard work, discipline, and perseverance. His passion for Jiu-Jitsu is infectious, motivating everyone around him to push their limits and achieve their personal best. Both professors emphasize the 'Gentle Art' in their teachings, which resonates throughout the school's culture. They encourage students to use technique and leverage over brute strength, which speaks volumes about the essence of Jiu-Jitsu they aim to preserve and teach. Gracie Barra Kendall is more than just a Jiu-Jitsu school; it's a place where character is built, friendships are forged, and life lessons are learned. If you're looking for a place to start or continue your Jiu-Jitsu journey, I cannot recommend Gracie Barra Kendall enough. The combination of a top-notch curriculum, dedicated professors, and a supportive community will exceed your expectations and push you to new heights both on and off the mats. Less
My daughter and I really enjoyed training at GB Kendall while we were visiting the area. Professor Sebastian and his team were very friendly, welcoming and professional. Professor Sebastian’s skills on the mat are amazing. Looking forward to coming back!
Visiting from Canada and dropped in for an open mat. Everyone was so unbelievably kind I really felt welcomed. Steve was kind enough to take some time aside to show me some wrestling techniques. Highly recommend checking them out!
I signed my son up because he both needed to fulfill a PE requirement for school and I wanted him to learn self defense. These guys are great, they're serious but they know how to make it fun for the kids. Now, if I could only lose a little weight and start getting into shape a little, I might sign up myself!

Truly love this place. Not only are they professional, clean, and organized but they also make you feel like family. They do a great job at teaching the kids.
Love this school and the instructor's. Come check them out and see for yourself. I recommend them to anyone for men, women and children.
My kids have been going for 1yr, and I cant say enough of how dedicated this team is to teaching the kids about BJJ fundamentals and self defense. Prof Eric with his stern but playful handling of kids and Prof Sebastian with his insane technical skills make for a great learning environment.
I took my son there and they wouldn’t even allow him to try the free class. Really bad customer service!
Best Jui Jitsu in the Kendall area.
I couldn't have had a better experience, then my class at Gracie Barra Kendall. Eric, the gym owner, welcomed me like a student, whose been training for years. All the students were nice and respectful. Sébastien, the instructor, was very professional, helpful, and jovial. I couldn't recommend anywhere else if your looking for good lessons, rolls, and experience.
Great team and amazing professors. Would recommend 100%
I’ve been here for about 2 years. Love the place.
This Place is Home away from home
Is an amazing place to learn jiujitsu.
Amazing place to learn grappling. The two black belts/mentors are very efficient at communicating and instructing a martial art that’s very difficult to say the least.
This gym is incredible!!! The coaches are really talented in educating the class room and real professional. The best jiu jitsu gym in Miami by far.
Fantastic experience I had. Very friendly people, amazing atmosphere. I learned quite a lot in the time I was there. At first I was hesitant joining because I had never done any martial arts before this but I have never regret joining it.

Fantastic experience I had. Very friendly people, amazing atmosphere. I learned quite a lot in the time I was there. At first I was hesitant joining because I had never done any martial arts before this but I have never regret joining it. Both instructors Erik and Sebastian are amazing people, rolled with them a few times and overall feel like they deserve this place to grow even more due to how good of instructors and people they are. By the way, if you’re also looking for a place to do fitness then this is even more of a reason to join. Oh and lastly, if you’re not fit already don’t be discouraged from joining, when I entered I used to be quite overweight but overtime I got much better and lost a lot of weight, such as how many other people there have.

This school is amazing. I have been training for about a year and a half. Great instructors, great atmosphere and the people that go to the school are amazing. I highly recommend this school.
Top notch Brazilian jiu jitsu/self defense instruction in a safe, friendly and professional environment! If you are in Miami this is the place to be! -Don
Great teacher/instructor..... Convenient class hrs Throughout the day, Awesome training program and a large family! The best training environment.
A place that I call home everytime that I’m in Miami, Professor Erick is very technical and knowledgeable in Jiu Jitsu. By the way watch out with Steven he is the King of coladas 👊🏽👊🏽 Good vibes to you guys 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Best Bjj school in Miami period. Excellent staff and coaching from Professor Erik Darnott and And Professor Omar. If you are curious about starting your jiu jitsu journey go for it! This place is like a 2nd family to me , no bad vibes or anything. Very fun and loving family friendly environment and they offer help when you need it the most. Oss!
This place is great, I’ve visited the school twice and they make you feel like family right away.
Such an amazing place to learn and grow your skills.
If you leave in the area go to Gracie Barra Kendall prof Erik with he’s crew gonna take of you, he’s has lot knowledge with all ages! The best place to learn real BJJ!
This place is amazing! Having done Jiu-Jitsu for a few years now, I can clearly tell you that this school is the place to be.

Gracie Barra Miami is a strong link in the Gracie Barra chain of Jiu Jitsu Academies in South Florida. From an outstanding curriculum to top notch instruction GB Miami is the place to visit if in the area!
The best Brazilian jiu-jitsu school in Kendall!
Love this place!!! Joining this jiu-jitsu gym is like joining a second family!! You learn so much at your own pace but improve every day with great guidance from the down to earth instructors that know what they're doing.

After being out of martial arts and any type of physical activity for 16 years, due to injury, this gym has realy made me feel welcomed and safe. The morning classes are great and they have a shower for those who need to head straight to work. So glad i joined!

Lo mejor de Kendall. Súper buena onda son todos y tienen un súper maestro. Ossss
Another New Family Atmosphere <3 <3 New BJJ Friends :) :)
Good people that love the art and love to teach. Doesn’t get any better than this.
Professor Erik & Coach Omar are extremely knowledgeable and create a great environment for learning the art of Jiu Jitsu. Also, my fellow students are great to work with and take time to help one another out. I strongly recommend Gracie Barra Kendall.
Friendly, inviting and no judgements. Erick will work with you no matter you size, age or skill level. Everyone is super friendly and the vibe is always a positive one.
Visiting family from Kendall. I am a student in Long Island New York trained by Professor Joe Scarola at Gracie Barra LI. Gracie Barra in Kendall was a great facility. Great Instruction by Professor Erik Darnott, very knowledgeable. Very welcoming atmosphere. THANK YOU Gracie Barra Kendall OSS
Master Erik is extremely great with kids! Highly recommend Kendall location for kids and adults. My cousin has his son at the Doral location and has positive things to say for that location, too.
Great atmosphere. Instructor is very knowledgeable and highly attentive to detail. Very nice and family oriented academy. Excellent instructions and great techniques. Great place to learn Jiu Jitsu.
Great atmosphere! I felt like I was at GBBH!! Erick is really nice as a professional black belt and as a human being! Thumbs up�#graciebarra
I'm really happy I found Gracie Barra Doral/Kendall. Both schools have amazing instructors and great people. I love their open schedule, you can train as many days as you like with various time schedules (mornings, noon and evenings). I tried a couple BJJ/MMA schools in the past and felt they were not a good fit for me. I thought maybe BJJ wasn't for me because my experiences weren't good...unti... More

I tried a couple BJJ/MMA schools in the past and felt they were not a good fit for me. I thought maybe BJJ wasn't for me because my experiences weren't good...until I started training at GB.

The instructor is very friendly and has a lot of patients with his students. He has a world of knowledge and is very passionate about teaching. Great atmosphere in the school. Love training at that gym.
Great place to workout and learn martial arts
This is an awesome place to learn self-defense and workout at the same time... it's a family oriented environment and the instructors are amazing... I will keep training and I can't wait for my kids to be big enough to start in this amazing Gracie Barra family....
Amazing place to learn self defense in a family oriented atmosphere... great instructors
As a 4th degree black belt, I really recommend this school. From the beginner to the expert, this is the place to be!
