Good things…. For beginners Prof Oliver is an amazing asset for the Gracie Barra team to have.. Prof. Berto is an amazing professor and runs a great kids program along with his team of professors and coaches: Master Draculino takes time for all members old and new and reminds you, you’re seen, and matters There are so many additional things I could say about each professor and coach, as each brings their strengths to the team, making it what Gracie Barra TX is.

I can’t speak highly enough of this place. The training is top notch. But what makes this place the best is the community of great people of both staff and members. It’s done wonders for my kids’ confidence and ability. I started right when I turned 40 and am thankful I took the plunge. If you are on the fence if you should join or not, just take a free trial class and more than likely you’ll be coming back. Master Drac and his team are some of the best people I’ve ever met.

My kids started when they were 5 and 8 years old. They trained for 6 yrs. The lessons they learned about themselves, about winning and losing, and the confidence they gained from jujitsu are invaluable. GBTX is part of their story and we are very grateful for the time Prof. Draculino, the professors and coaches invested in our kids. I know at some point our kids will return to GB to continue their journey. Would definitely recommend GBTX to any family looking to get their kids involved in an activity where they will learn a life skill.
