When I arrived for my class, the instructors greeted me personally and made sure I knew everything I needed to get started. The class atmosphere was inclusive and down-to-earth, without any sense of superiority or posturing. They paired me with an experienced student who was incredibly patient and understanding, which made a huge difference as someone brand new to jiu-jitsu. I highly recommend Gracie Barra College Station to anyone interested in learning jiu-jitsu in a friendly, supportive environment!" Less

박사과정 마지막 1년 반 정도를 해당 체육관에서 수련하였고, 저에게는 최고의 체육관이었습니다. 모든 관원들이 가족처럼 친절하고, 관장님과 코치들 또한 관원들을 항상 신경써주십니다. 외국인이었던 제가 여기에 있을 때 만큼은 타지인이라는 생각을 잊을 수 있었던 것 같습니다. 영어를 배우기에도 훌륭한 곳이고, 학업생활중에 잠시 쉬어가는 곳으로도 훌륭했습니다. 덕분에 좋은 취미생활을 얻을 수 있었던 것 같습니다. 타운을 떠나더라도 항상 이곳이 그리울 것 같습니다. 해당 체육관이 다른분에게도 소중한 기억을 주었으면 하는마음에 리뷰를 남깁니다.

To those worried about not having enough time to go to the gym, I found that exercising here actually improved my work efficiency. Just open the door, give it a try, and stick with it for several months. You won't regret it when you look back. One of the best decisions I made in College Station was opening that door. Less

They are amazing! Great atmosphere, great workout. Highly recommend! It’s not only none of the best Gracie Barra’s that I’ve been to, but it’s the best all around place to train in terms of people, content, feedback, and kindness of the team. Go have fun with them!

The coaches are more than just instructors - they're passionate teachers who genuinely care about helping you improve. It's been a month since I started, and I already feel there's this incredible sense of support, no matter your age or experience level. You'll find young kids eager to learn alongside seasoned adults, all pushing each other to be better. Everyone offers a helping hand, advice, and tons of encouragement. If you're looking for a welcoming gym with top-notch instruction and a supportive community, look no further! You won't regret it! Less

I choose Gracie Barra after visiting and watching instructors and students and seeing a great culture and professional instructors. Martial arts has been a lifestyle for my family for decades. My family has benefited from the confidence, flexibility, health and life long friends we have gained. I highly recommend martial arts to everyone and believe BJJ is a solid and effective defense form and Gracie Barra CS is a great place to learn and enjoy it. Less

Gracie Barra College Station is Amazing. Professor Machado is a world class instructor. His ability to breakdown the movements into simple to understand steps is second to none. It made understanding the techniques easy, which enabled the student to actually apply the techniques in a live training environment right away. Professor Machado and his team's best qualities are their abilities to train children. My son loved class, his technique has gotten better by leaps on bounds, and his confidence in BJJ is off the charts; all due to the team Professor Machado has assembled and trained. Gracie Barra College Station is a wonderful place to train. How awesome is it? I felt like I was in a movie. That's how awesome it is. :) Less

I’ve recently started training as a 28 Y/O with Zero Martial Arts Experience. They have been very patient with beginners such as myself. This is loads of fun. I would give 10 stars if I could.

I recently attended a self-defense class at Gracie Barra College Station as an event for a Texas A&M women’s org. The instructors were amazing and we learned so much! I can not recommend this studio enough. I will definitely be returning!

Best instructors and community. Everyone is here to help and learn from one another. Watch out for Alex though, he's a Honey Badger in human form 😆 🤣 😂.

Been with this academy since they opened and couldn't be more happier to be part of the Gracie Barra brotherhood. If you want to do self defense, getting fit, camaraderie and have kids for recreational activities, I highly recommend trying Brazilian Jiu-jitsu in Gracie Barra College Station. Definitely worth it!

Gracie Barra - College Station is a supportive environment in which learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is rewarding and easy. Professor Milton Machado, instructor Amanda Sakaya, and Coach Daniel are passionate about teaching Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and helping you along your journey, ultimately helping you to reach your goals. Even if your goal in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is to decompress from work, defend yourself from an attack, or eventually compete at a high level. I have trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for several years at gyms around the country. While most gyms have had a qualified instructor - Professor Milton is a fourth-degree black belt with over 20 years of experience - the environment in each gym has varied drastically. It is my opinion that the environment sets this gym apart. Everyone I have met at this gym has been friendly, supportive, and welcoming. To this end, I recommend you try this Jiu-Jitsu gym if you have a free afternoon. You will come for the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but you will keep coming back because of the friends you made - at least that is why I keep going back. Less

Really great place with a focus on careful, injury free application, and building a local BJJ community. They are fairly new school, so there are a lot of beginners, which definitely makes it less intimidating to join.

Gracie Barra College Station has been a great experience. Professor Milton and the staff have treated us like family. Our 4 and 5-year-old have been enjoying classes, and the atmosphere is great. As a member, the adult classes have been great, and a nice schedule with multiple classes a gives me a chance to fit in classes when I can.

I’ve been going to this gym for the last couple of weeks and I’m very impressed. Professor Milton runs a very well organized class that makes you feel like you’re training smart and as safe as possible while learning and improving your skills. I would suggest this gym to anyone.

Stopped in while I was visiting town. Professor’s were kind and accepting of visitors. Class was well run with solid instruction. All student were good and technical rolls (which can not be said of other places I visited on my trip) overall I had my best drop in experience here and would recommend it to anyone looking for jiujitsu.

I highly recommend anyone to come try a class here at Gracie Barra College Station. Professor Milton along with Coach Amanda and Daniel have classes for everyone in all levels of BJJ. Apart from great instructors, the school has a welcoming environment and great atmosphere. Don’t miss out on a great opportunity to better yourself and achieve whatever personal goals you have set for yourself.

Great people, great curriculum, and a fun training environment. My son and I have very much enjoyed training at Gracie Barra. We are so fortunate to have such a quality place here in BCS.
5
Such a good atmosphere for learning! Professor Milton and the assistant coachs are all amazing. Both myself and my children attend classes and I could not be happier with the school. Out of the martial art schools we looked into and did trial classes at, this school is by far the best choice.

My 3 sons ages 4, 6, and 8 are loving this school. The instructors are clearly skilled and are great teachers. They know all the students by name and really push them to improve. Very pleased to be a part of this school!

Professor Milton and coaches Amanda and Daniel are the BEST. The adult classes are amazing and if you have kids, their classes are hands down the best. They have brought the gentle art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to the BCS area. If you are looking to get fit, learn an amazing art and become a part of an amazing family, stop by and say hello.

Been coming here since the beginning, and it has been nothing but great experiences and learning ever since. The professor and coaches are very helpful and knowledgeable in the art of jiu jitsu. The students are very nice and inviting as I’ve made many friends here since I started. Highly recommend this school if you’re a beginner or even if you’ve have had some experience before.
