Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Professor Roger started training Jiu-Jitsu at the age of 7 years old.

We focus on creating a life-changing Kids Martial Arts program that will help our students overcome the many challenges life presents. This program is focused to develop agility, flexibility, and coordination for our youngest students. Fun games and interactive drills that teach basic Jiu-Jitsu movements and beginner techniques are included in our curriculum.
Jiu-Jitsu is like any other sport or activity: your progress is a consequence of how hard and how smart you work. Group classes are the best-proven way to teach Jiu-Jitsu since the diversity of training partners creates more and different challenges allowing a student to improve more quickly. However, private classes are definitely an essential complement that no serious Jiu-Jitsu student should do without.

I'm out here for work from California and decided to get a class in before my conference started. This gym is incredibly welcoming. Great class, great instruction... I'll come back here every time I'm in town. I'm a 55 year old blue belt and this group treated me like I'd been training there for yeArs...

In 2009, I had my yearly physical and my doctor ran me through a gauntlet of test; the results were alarming--my LDL cholesterol (Bad) level was close to 200 and my blood pressure was sky high. Something needed to be done; fast. My doctor suggested medication but I declined and decided to eat right and begin a workout routine. I looked into area fitness clubs; however I found myself turned off by the atmosphere. Then I stumbled upon Gracie Barra JiuJitsu; not a conventional gym . . . better! The friendly environment and camaraderie is refreshing. Through JiuJitsu training, I lost weight, drastically

I have been training at Gracie Barra Orlando for a little over a year. The technical instruction has been exceptional, the instructors are welcoming, the gym is clean. On top of all that, the camaraderie with the other students is great. You do have to wear a Gracie Barra gi, but I think it adds to the feeling of belonging to a team and family.

Gracie Barra has excellent instructors, 4 locations in Central Florida, the gym is always clean, there is a full workout room available for members and the people who train there are second to none.
If you are sick of "hitting the weights" that dont hit back or just want to do something that will make you physically stronger and in the best shape (healthy shape, not look huge but rather live longer) *i know crazy* then this is for you. Tell them you want a free week to try it out...
I have trained at Gracie Barra Orlando for 4 years so this is a bias review, or is that a further testament

I joined Gracie Barra for a kickboxing class. At my first class, they threw me into a kickboxing session without any instruction. In subsequent classes, I asked the teacher for specific instruction before class; instead, he paired me up with a partner that he said would "teach" me. My partner taught me a few basic moves (it took an entire session for someone to tell me I was standing wrong), but then expected me to block his expert moves. For $200, I expected specific instruction by a professional in a controlled environment, instead I ended up getting a major shoulder injury that
