This gym is an awesome place to train in Jiu-Jitsu. The teaching that my son receives is top notch. He enjoys his classes with Coach Kevin. He has made lots of friends. It really feels like a family here.

Update Sept 23, 2024: Hooked. Great people and great learning. Update May 20th, 2024: still here. Still getting bruises, still learning, and still loving it. Highly recommend. Original: Just started. Makes be feel alive again; like a kid wrestling with brothers. The environment is full of sharing knowledge, sharing experience, respect, and personal growth. I'll update in a few months but I plan to be here a while.

Honestly can’t say enough good things about this place. I have been training here for a year and have learned so much but most importantly have met some great people. The facility is amazing with large mats and is extremely clean. Everyone has the same common goal and wants to reach it safely and injury free. Highly knowledgeable instructors that teach in a way that anyone can understand and apply. Everyone made me feel like family from my first beginners class. If you are interested in learning jiu jitsu, I recommend you come here and experience how awesome and welcoming this place is.

Having relocated to Mount Juliet around six months ago, I was on the hunt for a welcoming jiu-jitsu gym, and I'm delighted to say that Gracie Barra Mt. Juliet has exceeded my expectations. One of the standout features of this gym is its warm and friendly atmosphere. From the moment I stepped through the door, I felt like part of the community. The instructors are not only highly skilled but also approachable and genuinely invested in their students' progress. The classes are not only informative but also incredibly enjoyable. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned practitioner, there's something for everyone here. The instructors do an excellent job of structuring the sessions to cater to all skill levels, ensuring that everyone feels challenged yet supported. Moreover, the emphasis on technique and safety means that you can train consistently without constantly worrying about injuries, which is a huge plus in my book. Overall, Gracie Barra Mt. Juliet offers an exceptional jiu-jitsu experience. If you're looking for a gym where you can learn, grow, and have fun in a supportive environment, look no further. Highly recommended!

Gracie has a great adult program but I'll leave that review to my husband. Both our sons attend Gracie and the program has been incredible for them. They have learned not only jiu jitsu skills but respect and life skills all in a fun environment. One of the owners is the head Coach and he is so great with all the kids! Highly recommend!

This is the first sport my 6 year old son has wanted to continue for longer than a few months! Coach Kevin and Alice are wonderful and supportive owners. The environment is welcoming and classes are very age appropriate. It’s a great mix of structured learning and interactive games to practice their skills.

My son (7) and I (30) are 2 months into our classes at GB Mt. Juliet and are still enjoying our BJJ experience. We signed up with this gym primarily because of the child atmosphere. I wanted to introduce my son to BJJ with an instructor that understood how to communicate effectively with kids. Kevin does a great job teaching kids multi-step movements in a way that they can easily pick it up and perform what they are being taught. There is a balanced mix of technique, competition, and fun that keeps my son wanting to come back. I joined shortly after my son and was equally impressed with the adult class. Great mix of new and veteran belts that are very helpful. If you ask questions, you'll get genuine responses. If you want to take it easy for a day, your training partner will match your effort. If you want a competition effort, there are days for that as well. The overall environment is great as well. Plenty of comfortable seating for you to watch your child/family member during class, locker room style bathrooms with showers, and play areas for kids if you need to bring your child with you to class. There are plenty of kids in the building during night classes that play together while their parents are on the mat.

We moved to Nashville a few months ago and were looking for a gym to get my son (7) and myself involved in. We toured gyms around the hermitage-MJ area and this was the best one for what we were looking for. It’s hands down the best environment for kids. Coach Kevin understands how to communicate with kids in different age groups. He mixes technique with fun games that support the lessons they are teaching the students. As a 10 year elementary physical education teacher, I’m impressed with the structure of the kids program and my son loves coming to class. The adult program is also very inviting. No one is trying to kill each other. There is a good mix of training with similar belts and veteran belts so that you are getting an full experience. Very respectful environment amongst the adults. First gym I’ve been to where I find myself having conversations each time I’m in the gym, not just glaring at each other with the casual “hey”. The schedule is also great for my family. The adult class follows the kids class which allows my son and I to be there together. They also have a variety of lunch and weekend classes as well. Highly recommend for beginners and kids!

I've had the pleasure of training with Coach Kevin and Jordan for about 6 months now. Previously, I trained at Gracie Humaita in Austin, TX. What drew me to this gym was the location and beautiful clean facilities. What kept me is the instructors and group of people I get to train with. Some things for your consideration... (1) It is a fairly new gym, and we're still building out depth in belts for both instructors and students. (2) The gym is very kid friendly - you'll frequently find little ones running around. (3) The majority of classes are gi, although we're working on adding more no-gi classes. (4) This gym is currently only focused on jiu-jitsu (competitive & recreational). (5) For the most part, our students are well controlled and not out for blood - we're here to be good training partners!

This place is amazing and very welcoming. I have been going for the past few months and everyday I look forward to coming still. It is an amazing environment and everybody including professors and other students have always been so nice and respectful. I feel like I am learning something new every single class and that keeps me wanting to always come back. My favorite thing to do is to do shark tank (basically like little short matches ending in a sweep, pass, or submission). Coach Kevin and Coach Jordyn are phenomenal at what they do and I am glad I get to do this.

Just started my journey with them a few months ago. I am brand new to any type of martial arts but have felt welcome since day one. From the other participants, the instructors and the ownership I have never felt out of place as I was originally expecting. They are knowledgeable and lead everyone at their own pace. No unnecessary level of discipline and intensity like you see in movies. But on the same token no frills or foolishness of unnecessary promotions or pats on the back just to keep people around longer to try and get money. Just good people doing everything they can to help everyone on their own path. Highly would recommend to anyone asking.

I started attending training three months ago. The training sessions are well led and safely presented. I feel like I have learned a lot in a very short time. The group I train with is a terrific group of people and very encouraging. The instructors do a good job teaching and are genuinely interested in helping me achieve my goals. If you have been giving any thought to starting Jiu-jitsu, this place is a really good place to start your journey.

Más que una escuela es una casa, un lugar en donde encontrarás una familia. El Jiu jitsu es un arte marcial que en cuanto empiezas a practicarlo se convierte en un estilo de vida. El ambiente, la higiene del local y los entrenadores son magníficos. Lo recomiendo a todas las personas que quieran perder peso, ponerse en forma o simplemente aprender a defenderse.

Great staff! Been doing this for awhile and I absolutely love it here! From the training staff to the employees! So nice not to drive 45 minutes to the nearest bjj gym but then again I’d drive two hours to this place. Love the size of the building and mat!. Usually feel cramped and tight in most bjj gyms but lots of room to get my roll on!

Been training for a few months now and enjoy it so much!!! I can’t say enough about the impact the training at Gracie Barra has had on my mental and physical well being. I am having a blast and getting great cardio, flexibility, strength, and coordination in the process. The benefits have been amazing. I find myself with more energy to do things at home without tiring out. I have even started to enjoy running and eating better and taking care of myself and my heart ( which makes wifey happy ) Friendly, approachable instructors, VERY clean environment, family friendly atmosphere, fun friendly classmates, all have made learning Jiu Jitsu an enjoyable experience.
