“I joined Gracie Barra Citrus Park looking for a place to train, but what I found was so much more. The instructors are not only highly skilled in Jiu-Jitsu, but they also care deeply about helping each student grow both on and off the mats Training here has transformed me physically , I feel stronger, healthier, and more confident. But what makes this academy truly special is the impact on the mind. Through discipline, respect, and consistent practice, I’ve noticed a positive shift in my mindset, focus, and overall well-being. The community is welcoming and supportive, making every class an opportunity to challenge myself and grow. Gracie Barra Citrus Park is not just a place to learn Jiu-Jitsu, it’s a place to improve your life — mind and body together.”
Training at this jiu-jitsu school has been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. The environment is welcoming, respectful, and fully focused on growth — both physical and personal — not just for me, but also for my children who train here as well. Professor Ivan is exceptional! He combines solid technique with clear and motivating instruction. Always attentive to detail, he knows how to adapt the training to each person’s (or child’s) level, helping everyone progress in a consistent and safe way. In addition to him, the team members Eduardo and Camila also deserve recognition. Eduardo is always present and ready to help with all the administrative and behind-the-scenes work, bringing both knowledge and dedication. Camila brings such positive energy and care for everyone — it truly makes a difference! 😍 We are proud to be part of the Gracie Barra Citrus Park family!
Gracie Barra is like family! My almost 5-year-old boy started Jiu-Jitsu at the Citrus Park location a few months ago, and he is loving it! He is a very high-energy little kid, and his uncontainable enthusiasm often leads him to get distracted or overexcited, and redirecting him takes quite a bit of patience. Well, Ivan, his instructor, is incredible with kids like mine! Gentle yet firm, always ready to joke around and keep them entertained, but also quick to reestablish order, respectfully and politely, when those little tornadoes start being a little too wild. You can absolutely tell that both Ivan and Camila truly have a passion for teaching and training kids to become the best version of themselves. If you are looking for a physical activity for your young children that helps them burn energy, acquire discipline and focus (and, of course, learn how to defend themselves!), this is the right place for you! Everyone here is super nice a
I take a moment to express how thankful I am for these first eight months of training with Gracie. The academy was like family through thick & thin. I never felt an ounce of abandonment but full support based on my individual needs. My sincerest apologies for any inconvenience caused after what I've been through this past year. My intention was to never hurt, deceive, or disappoint anyone, especially the staff. I chose this academy as a means to continue growing and transforming as Eduardo previously reminded me. I take full responsibility of my actions; however, I can only do it with your support. If you please accept my apology and give me one more chance to demonstrate the maturity and determination within myself, I know it will get better. I feel really bad about this. Ivan, my brother, your absence is hard right now. As a belated 33rd birthday gift I would love to take 1-1 private lessons directly with you, Anthony, or any other ex
The best jiu-jitsu school around the Tampa area. The school is nice, extremely clean and it has an amazing atmosphere. This is literally the place where you come in as a student but you are treated like a family member. My 5-year-old son loves training and being together with his friends. Coach Ivan is a wonderful person, attentive to details and very understanding to each student. Without a doubt, it was the best choice for my son. You won’t regret having your son/daughter here, you will feel part of this family.
