    My 3 kids joined back in May 2025 and we have LOVED it here! Coach Leti and her team are LOVING, kind, polite, respectful and put their whole hearts in to training! Their incredible Brazilian culture shines through in their coaching. The coaches go around and shake parents' hands and truly care about how they are doing. If kids are having a hard time, they sit with them and go at the child's speed to come back to class; at no point do they ignore children's emotions or "just leave them" for parents to handle. All of the coaches are incredibly responsive to the kids' needs. And their privates are amazing too! Their pricing is similar to other places but they offer WAY more class options and have a ton of structure so every group class feels very productive! I cannot rave enough about this place!!!!

    I joined this BJJ Academy about three months ago and absolutely love it. Our professor, Letty, is is an unbelievable teacher and truly cares about her program. I love this community!

    I was in town for work and was able to drop into two classes while there. This was probably the most welcoming academy I've visited while traveling. Everyone was great. Prof Leticia and Prof Fabricio were extremely kind, taking time away from their own students to help me practice. I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area again. Highly recommended!

    My children have been training with Gracie Humaita Southbay under Leticia Ribeiro for almost 2 years now. My wife and I are also training. There isn’t a better environment to learn bjj or self defense. Fabricio Camoes and Leticia Ribeiro are famous and decorated bjj and mma practitioners who trained directly under the founding family of bjj. Their experience and wisdom is unmatched. Moreover, they are some of the best people I know. They are dedicated and kind. They treat the kids with love and respect and command the same in return. I was riding with my daughter the other night. She said to me, “since you started training, you have been a better daddy and I think mama sees that too.” I couldn’t talk for a moment I was so choked up. I cannot recommend GSB highly enough. BJJ in general, but Leticia and Morango specifically, have been a true miracle. I only wish I could have started as a kid.
