Gracie Barra Palmetto Bay Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy
Great experience, I can tell the growth and confidence my kid displays. Training is great exercise and the instructors teach them to listen while keeping them engaged. Gay overall experience for the last 2 years. Thanks again!
Posted 6 months agoMy son Jesse LOVES training at Gracie Barra jujitsu in Palmetto Bay. He’s grown stronger, has built up his confidence, and learned a lot. The instructors are very skilled and knowledgeable in their craft and are also very kind and approachable when he needs additional instruction. Would definitely recommend this gym to all who are looking to get into this sport.
Posted 9 months agoMe and my whole family love this place. It has basically become our second home. My husband had been practicing BJJ for over 12 years, but had to stop a few years back due to life, and when they opened this location he was ecstatic and joined right away and loved the vibes and great community it has. Then my kids started the second they turned 4 and I just could not be the only one, so I decided to join and it's been amazing for the last 3 years. I feel at home, secure and have reached a point in fitness I had never before. I cannot talk more positive things about the pain professor Julio, he is another reason why I joined due to his amazing and relaxed teaching style. Cannot recommend this place enough. Come check it out whenever no matter if you are a child, full grown mom, or man. It truly makes it a great way to stay fit and feel empowered.
Best decision ever made for our boys. Professor Julio, Professor Juan, and Coach Stephanie are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in every student’s progress. They truly are what makes this gym stand out. Their passion for the sport, and genuine care for each student, creates a positive, fun, and inspiring atmosphere. GB Palmetto Bay is the best BJJ gym in Miami, hands down. Highly recommend! ❤️
Professor Julio and his great team of coaches have an amazing dynamic creates a fabulous atmosphere for kids and adults of all ages, teaching their students fun and safe techniques to prepare them for the ultimate success when they compete.
Professor Júlio has created a great environment and GB Palmetto Bay. We all spar and train very hard and get together as a one big community/family at every belt ceremony to congratulate each other’s hard work. My daughter and son go here and they have become much more disciplined physically and mentally. I recommend it very much to kids as their first combat sport and to adults who want to learn self defense while staying in shape👍.
Gracie Barra Palmetto Bay is hands down the best jiu-jitsu gym I've ever been to. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, making learning easy and fun. The facilities are top-notch and always clean. Most importantly, the sense of community here is amazing. Whether you're a beginner or advanced, you'll feel welcomed and motivated. Highly recommend!
Great from day one. My daughter not only has not tapped out of going to these classes, but she looks forward to them. She practices at home and it has given her even more confidence and discipline. Would absolutely recommend.
If you are interested in training jiu-jitsu OR already train jiu-jitsu and are looking for an amazing school, check out Gracie Barra Palmetto Bay. I have been doing jiu-jitsu for over 10 years and can confidently say that this is an amazing school. Professor Julio and the staff are extremely welcoming and friendly. They also teach excellent technique during class. Check them out! 🔥
Profesor Julio is special with the kids, patient and dedicated. Coach Bruno is outstanding with the kids and I only wish I had found them sooner! Kristina is super friendly and will take the time to explain everything you need to get started.
Friendly environment and great place to learn Jujitsu.
We absolutely love everything about this location. We were looking for a place that would keep two teenage boys entertained (enough to get them to step away from their video games). We didn't know how they would feel about it, but class has become a "can't miss" situation in our household. Professor Julio is the best - he is so patient and dedicated with all ages. He engages with all of the students and helps them understand the how and why. We joked that he should post YouTube videos - he's that detailed and likeable! He does not shame students, and encourages the beginners in an encouraging way. What we love most is that he has created a safe space - the students help each other, and work together to develop their technique. Can't say enough great things about Professor Julio and the classes. He has created a safe space for people to come together and learn (and sweat).
Outstanding place to train. Great for the young and the old! A big thank you to Professor Julio, Coach Juan, and Coach JC and everyone else for all the advice and encouragement I have received! If you are interested in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Gracie Barra Palmetto Bay is the place to be!
Professor Julio is a simply amazing. He’s professional, patient, dedicated and truly loves what he does. The second you walk into Gracie Barra Palmetto Bay you are greeted like family. My son joined in March and is absolutely loving it. He’s eager to get to class on time and see all his jiu jitsu friends! My daughter wanted to join too. I am proud to say that we are part of Gracie Barra Palmetto Bay’s family. Best decision ever!
Huge shout out to Coach Juan, Coach JC, And professor Julio. Words cannot explain how amazing this place is. A place in which you come to learn not only that, but build a foundation of discipline and respect for the jiu jitsu community and your classmates. I highly recommend this location to anyone looking into getting jiu jitsu.With strong, caring, patient and honest teachers who care about your progress you will enjoy every second you spend here and also your kids.
A review cannot possibly convey how great this place is. Whether you are age 6 or 60, Professor Julio commits a level of patience and attention to detail to each and every student, helping them find their individual strengths. The sport of jiujitsu can appear very intimidating at first glance, Professor Julio along with the coaches and students have developed an atmosphere which is both friendly and light-hearted. I live no where near Palmetto Bay, but make the drive due to the quality of instruction and the welcoming environment , nobody is a stranger here. Highly recommended! Pizza place next door isnt bad either!
Great place, great atmosphere for the kid, they are become an essential part of the life of my son. 100% I will recommend .
Coach Julio is an extraordinary professional and teacher. He goes above and beyond for his student in every single class. My son have been in the Gracie barra for more than one year and we had saw results in every aspect of my little one. His attention and performance in the school had improved tremendously taking him as one of the best student in class. Coach Julio have taught discipline, patient, attention and not even mentioned physical condition. This was one of the best decision we made for our little one . In addition, it’s such family and welcome environment. We have build friendship for lives. We wish the Best for Gracie barra and coach Julio.
Great place for kids to learn life lessons- discipline, focus, hard work and never giving up. Coach is amazing with kids!!!
Extremely knowledgeable professor. Family like environment. Great for people of all ages.
The GB Palmetto Bay family is amazing, truly foster a team spirit. Great training and even greater people.
Fantastic place to train, detail oriented instruction from professor Julio and the coaches. Competitive but yet very friendly atmosphere making it a safe training environment. Multiple classes throughout the day with a beginners class at night, offering flexibility for everyone.
Excellent place to train! Wonderful family atmosphere. Professor Julio is with the kids as he is with the adults.
Professor Julio Guerra’s indefatigable work ethic, professionalism, and interpersonal skills sets this academy apart from the rest. Whether you’re looking to train a few hrs a week, or compete, Prof. Guerra has masterfully fostered a “family” environment amongst all members of this academy, where everyone is imbued with the tools necessary to achieve their personal goals, no matter the skill level. If you’ve ever trained in any martial art, you know how crucial it is for the instructor/professor to possess these leadership qualities.
Took my kids here for a free class and the rest is history. They love training because of the friendly and professional environment. Recommend this academy 100%.
Great workouts, great instruction, awesome people

Awesome place to train! Gracie Barra Palmetto Bay has become my family!
Excellent school for Brazilian Ju-Jitsu taught by professor Julio and his coaches. The professor and all the coaches are awesome, motivated and patient to teach. They are passionate for the art of BJJ. Men, women, girls, and boys of all ages attend the classes. I have been going for 5 weeks and I have learned many different techniques and increased my stamina. I have been losing weight and getting fit since I started. The atmosphere is family oriented and very welcoming. I have never done any type of contact sport and now I cant wait until the next class. Beginners must try BJJ!!! You will love the sport. Gracie Barra Palmetto bay is open 5 days a week and they have open mat on weekends you cannot beat it for the price. Keep up the great work guys!!!!
Great environment for children and adults to learn and train. Keep up the good work!
GB Palmetto Bay is one of the best gyms for BJJ I've been too. There is no ego from the coachs or professor. I have been to other gyms where this can be a problem. I am not looking to become a UFC champion. I just want a have fun learning martial arts and break a sweat with some like minded ladies and gentleman. I recommend this gym whole heartedly.
Super effective training on a super friendly and welcoming school. The professor and coaches are amazing
