My family & I started our Gracie Barra Jiu-Jitsu journey 3 years ago with Professor Valerio, it has been life changing for all of us. Better health, discipline, and motivation in life overall is part of what Gracie Barra has brought to our everyday life apart from the excellent self defense & competition training. Professor Valerio’s expertise & professionalism is the best in the business. He creates a family atmosphere that’s comfortable & welcoming. We thank him for being a part of our life that will stay with us forever.
