Love this place. My daughter struggled to find a sport she enjoyed (dance, gymnastics, soccer) and we finally tried Jiu Jitsu at Gracie Barra. She goes 2x a week, LOVES it, looks forward to going, often wants to go early and stay late. Her self confidence has increased significantly, as has her independence. 😍 Highly recommend!

Our daughter has absolutely loved training with Coach Trenell and Professor Andar. The entire team at Gracie Barra Lake Country creates such a welcoming, supportive atmosphere, and it’s clear they’re passionate about what they do. The environment they’ve built is structured, engaging, and just the right level of challenging—it’s been amazing to see how much our daughter is growing and thriving because of it. We would happily recommend this academy to any family looking for a positive and enriching activity for their kids. We’re also really looking forward to the day our son is old enough to step onto the mats and be part of it all too!

Professor Andar and Coach Trenell have been such a positive influence in my daughters life , the positive environment and great fundamentals they have shared with my daughter have been so great to take in . I then started my own journey with them in the adult class and have not looked back since. Great program and even better people . Can’t say enough awesome things about the Business and the phenomenal people running it. Thanks so much for everything you guys do.

We enrolled our youngest daughter who has always been quiet and on the timid side. She has been enrolled in the after school pick-up and Jiu Jitsu and it has been awesome to see her gain confidence and learn what her body can do. She also loves practicing on her unsuspecting older sister and her dad which is super-entertaining… Thanks Trenell and Andar!
