Gracie Barra Summerville Jiu-Jitsu & Self Defense

I cannot say enough good things about this place. I literally tell everyone about it. My children attend the homeschool class, and this is their very first experience with any type of martial arts. Coach Arden, Coach Justin, and Coach Wes have built my kids’ confidence in the most beautiful way with patience, encouragement, and so much genuine care. They meet each child exactly where they are and gently push them just past their comfort zone, helping them grow a little more with every single class. My kids leave feeling proud of themselves, stronger, and excited to come back. And it’s not just the coaches, even the other kids in the class are amazing. They’re kind, respectful, and so supportive of one another. The kids who have more experience are always willing to help the ones who are learning, and they genuinely celebrate each other’s wins. It’s such a positive environment, and you can feel that sense of teamwork the second you walk in. If you’re looking for a place where your children will be challenged, uplifted, respected, and taught by the absolute best, this is it. We are so grateful to have found this place!

Excellent coaches who have helped my son learn how to "be comfortable being uncomfortable". He went from hating group activities and sports to absolutely loving Jiu Jitsu after the very first class!The entire staff is welcoming, encouraging and sets an expectation for growth. Would highly recommend this to any parent who has a child struggling at school, whether its ADHD related, low self esteem/confidence or bullying... its a game changer!

Great gym to go. Their Schedule allows for flexibility having multiple classes a day on most days. The professors are engaging and excellent at explaining techniques and other variations. It’s a great environment for all ages that allows you to develop yourself physically and mentally.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gracie Barra Summerville is an outstanding place to train! The instructors are amazing, and the atmosphere is so welcoming. My two kids absolutely love the classes, and we've seen incredible progress in such a short time. The facility is clean, organized, and has a true sense of community. It’s the perfect environment for kids to learn, grow, and get better. Highly recommend Professor Andrew and the coaches to any parents looking to start their kiddos in BJJ or improve their skills!

Joining Gracie Barra Summerville has been the BEST decision! Extremely family friendly, such a positive atmosphere and great instruction. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly from the toddler classes up to the adult classes! Professor Andrew does wonders with our rambunctious 3 year old. My husband has thoroughly enjoyed the instruction given in the adult classes and live training! You’re missing out if you haven’t joined yet!
