"The professors are highly knowledgeable, patient, and committed to helping every student grow. Since joining this school, I've grown a lot — not just in my BJJ skills but also in discipline and confidence. If you're looking for a welcoming and serious place to train Jiu-Jitsu in Davenport, I highly recommend Gracie Barra. OSS!"
Marco Alevato
Blue Belt Student
"My 4-year-old daughter has been attending this gym since December, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. Her confidence has grown tremendously in such a short time, and she always looks forward to her classes with excitement. I highly recommend this gym!"
Gabriela Roosebelth
Kids Program Parent
"I was terrified of starting BJJ at the age of 44, but the staff, professors, and students were very welcoming from my first week. It's nice to come to a place after a long day to work on my physical and mental performance. They're accommodating to ensure you're working at your own pace."
