“My husband and I wanted to start training Jiu Jitsu again after a five year break (life happens) so we brought our four year old boy and signed up the whole family. My son absolutely loves it (literally crying when class is over) and my husband and I feel right at home. Amazing people, amazing instruction, I cannot recommend this place enough! It really is the best place for ALL AGES!”

“Torree at Gracie Barra Twin Cities, IL is passionate about empowering women to protect themselves and to have the self confidence to tackle whatever dreams they may have. As an owner of two local businesses, she puts her employees’ needs before her own often forgoing a paycheck for herself so her employees can be paid. That’s the responsibility and risk that business owners here in Illinois take, and our state needs to make Illinois more business friendly so more can follow their dreams and create local jobs. Ladies, you should attend her FREE self defense classes!”

“I have always wanted to do Jujitsu since my family started doing it. I felt that being of the older generation that it would not be possible to do, but I was wrong. Gracie Barra Twin Cities welcomed me with open arms. It is a great place to train and learn. They are very helpful and knowledgeable about the sport. I suggest anyone to try it, you may find you like it. This facility is very clean and inviting to everyone. Bring the family in and “go for it!”

“Gracie Barra Twin Cities is the safest and best place to do Brazilian Jiu jitsu!! Especially as a woman!! This is the safest and most comfortable place I have EVER been in! All of the coaches are not only fantastic people, but are also wonderful teachers. We also get the opportunity to learn about different moves and techniques from a variety of different instructors. In addition, Coach Torree does an excellent job with the women’s class and the self defense women’s seminar! She not only teaches you how to be safe and defend yourself, but also makes classes incredibly fun and inviting! So so glad I have found this place!”
