Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu Jitsu And Fitness Libertyville

"I was in town for work, and dropped in on the 6am GB1 class. Professor Scott was welcoming and friendly, and was great at breaking concepts down clearly and concisely for me and other students. Partnered with Ryan and Chase and others during class, and they were also friendly and very skilled. Appreciate the warm welcome from the Professor and the students. Would highly recommend the school."

"We signed up my 5yo, almost 6yo, for the kids level classes, and she loves it. Professor Scott, the coaches, and the staff are all very welcoming & friendly. Professor Scott works so well with all the kids, and my daughter always asks when she has jiu jitsu class again. We’re glad we found this facility & decided to sign up for classes."

"I’ve been around Jiu Jitsu in Northern IL since 2012, the instruction and facility at GB Libertyville are the best I’ve seen. Professors Jamil, Sergio, and Scott demonstrate a commitment to excellence that goes beyond the mat. Their instruction is top-notch, and what sets them apart is their willingness to go the extra mile for their students. They demonstrate a genuine desire to see their students not only excel in Jiu Jitsu but also thrive in life. Beyond regular class hours, they willingly invest extra time to refine techniques and strategize, pushing students beyond their limits. Their generosity and knowledge are a big reason I’ve made this my Jiu-Jitsu home. The gym culture is exceptional. From the front desk to the mats, there is sense community and a strong team environment where everyone is encouraged to push their limits during training. The facility at GB Libertyville is unlike any other in the area. HUGE mat space, a professional-level weight room with everything you need, from rowing machines to climbing ropes, sleds, racks, and kettlebells. The male and female locker rooms are spacious and always clean. The showers are convenient for those, like me, who squeeze in training during lunch breaks. This is the ideal space for anyone looking to train Jiu Jitsu, whether it’s your first class or you’re a competitor seeking to sharpen your skills among like-minded individuals."

"My pre-teen daughter has been going to Gracie Barbra Jiu Jitsu Academy in Libertyville for 6 months. I am glad I made the choice to take her there. Master Scotty is amazing to work with kids. The staff are knowledgeable and attentive. The facility is safe, clean, and welcoming. Although my daughter tells me ‘she doesn’t like it’, it’s amazing to see her have good time while she’s there.. :). The difference in her confidence level since she started taking classes is notable. I am so impressed with the academy, I am likely going to join myself."
