Gracie Barra Collinsville Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Self Defense 2539 Vandalia Street, Collinsville, IL 62234

"If you are considering a Jiu Jitsu school for you or your children, the Gracie-Barra school in Collinsville is the best program in the area. The owners are friendly and extremely accommodating. The facility is awesome, very spacious and well laid out. The instruction is professional and curriculum based. Highly recommended!"

"I am a beginner (white belt) and I've been going for about a month now. My 2 kids (9 and 7) also go 2 to 3 times a week. For all 3 of us its about the price of eating out each time we go and its way better for you than that! The teachers/coaches are very kind and encouraging. Everyone is VERY friendly and welcoming. The place is very professional and welcoming to newcomers, while also offering advanced training for those with experience. I would absolutely recommend this place for kids. My kids are already benefiting quite a bit; learning discipline, fitness, respect, and self defense. Its a great way to give them confidence without their little heads getting all kinds of concussions. Jiu Jitsu for EVERYONE!"
