Great gym. The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is very strategy based. A lot of sparring from side control, full guard, usually whatever the days lesson was about. Very good, knowledgeable instructors. Really recommend.

Great culture at GB Novi...very dedicated and the classes are challenging but the instructors and students alike are there to teach / learn. No macho attitudes there - just a group of very knowledgeable teachers and dedicated students.

The teaching is thorough, and the workouts are challenging. Professor Burchfield and the other instructors take their time making sure everyone is moving forward in a manner that is effective for combat but safe during class. Can't recommend it enough. 😎

I had never done anything like this before starting here and they were so welcoming. I never felt out of place, and the experienced members were happy to teach us newbies. I stopped going because of childcare reasons, but I hope to go back one day!

Gracie Barra Jiu Jitsu is a martial arts school that I cannot recommend highly enough. From the moment We walked through their doors, we were impressed with the professionalism and dedication of the instructors and students. The environment is welcoming and inclusive, and the focus is on growth, learning, and self-improvement. One of the things that sets Gracie Barra apart from other martial arts schools is their commitment to teaching Jiu Jitsu as a complete system, with a strong emphasis on both self-defense and sport aspects. The instructors are highly skilled and knowledgeable, and they take the time to work with each student individually to help them improve and reach their goals. Whether you are looking to improve your fitness, learn self-defense skills, or simply join a supportive community of like-minded individuals, this school is an excellent choice. If you are looking for a martial arts school that combines quality instruction, a welcoming atmosphere, and a commitment to excellence, look no further than Gracie Barra. Special thanks to Coach Greg, Coach Chris, Anastasia, and Dave for all their support and patience.

Professor Greg and the Novi team are fantastic. Their non-judgemental and welcoming attitudes create a great environment for learning and having fun. The clientele’s varying skill levels ranging from novice to expert as well as their personal backgrounds add to the experience. It’s refreshing to have women and men of all ages represented. I highly recommend Novi Gracie Barra to anyone looking for a fulfilling workout, a confidence booster, and developing a practical skill set.

It’s an excellent institute for Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai. Instructors here are very professional, and along with this technique, they also focus on discipline and respect. My daughter is five years old, and she has learned some excellent Jiu-Jitsu skills, and we are delighted with her progress here.

This is a great gym to train at. People of all experience levels train here and you don't need to be intimidated if you don't have experience or feel you aren't in good shape. Everyone is very welcoming.

2022-02-19T22:11:51.000Z

My short time at Grace Barra in Novi was amazing!! Coach Greg makes you feel extremely comfortable with learning jiu jitsu. I highly recommend this place and hope to return very soon to further my learning!

Great training environment, friendly and very patient with beginners. I joined l the Muai Thai class and the results are more than just the body, i lost weight and was able to get into good shape. The training is of different levels and anybody can pick up the speed.

2021-06-01T03:28:43.000Z

High energy and high FUN! I am very much a beginner but the coaches, as well as the other members, are extremely inviting and make you feel comfortable in an instant. Confidence, strength, technique, etc, expect all of these to be on the up and up once you become a member of the team!

2021-04-23T22:50:30.000Z

Great environment, friendly and very patient with beginners. I join the Muai Thay class and the results are more than just the body, less stress, better sleep, more energy... Highly recommended

Our son has really enjoyed studying at Gracie Barra Novi! The teachers there were fantastic-they were both knowledgeable and positive. Being part of this community helped our son when we were new to the area and he was struggling to make friends!

2020-09-08T00:19:07.000Z

Coach Greg is very accommodating, creative and awesome with the kids. We enjoyed the classes and he carries a very positive attitude and provides valuable life offerings. Thanks to Greg and the whole Gracie Novi crew! I recommend going to meet Greg and sign up.
