I was introduced to Gracie Barra through a chance encounter with Mike Buckels. During our conversation he indicated that professer Jake was an excellent instructor and that jiu jitsu may be beneficial for my 5 year old son. I think he was correct on both counts. I couldn't be more pleased with all aspects of our experience at GBWC.

One of the best things I could have ever done for my daughter was put her into JJ. Not only is she learning a ton, she has built a strong confidence in herself that she didn't have going into the sport.
Professor Jake is AMAZING, and is great with the kids. We love Gracie Barra JJ and the West Country location is the best!
