Gracie has been our home gym for the past 4 years. We love it for our daughter and I recently joined myself. It's been a great confidence booster and I've made improvements on the mat and in my personal life.

I have been training Jiu-Jitsu for about 4 years and spent the last year at Gracie Barra Novi; I’ve since switched gyms due to the exorbitant cost of GB Novi. At GB Novi, monthly cost is based on how frequently you attend class. For example, I paid $159/month for 2 classes/week. However, if you plan on progressing in your training you must attend the advanced classes which bumps the monthly cost up to $189/month regardless of how often you can attend per week. In addition to this monthly cost, GB Novi charges $80 - $100 for every belt test which are typically 3 hours in duration and located in Burton, MI for advanced students. You are also required to wear all Gracie Barra gear (Gi, rash guards, shorts, etc.) which adds an additional cost and in my opinion is overpriced gear. Also, BEWARE, if you join, you sign a contract that states you must give two-month advanced notice prior to cancellation or pay the fee for the full two months. I never received a copy of the signed contract until disputing the cancellation fee, so ask for one if you sign up. Also, you are not released from paying your monthly dues even if you get injured (as the contract states that you can still come to class to observe). The schedule in the gym is limited, as classes are only offered in the evening and advanced classes only occur 2-3 days per week. GB Novi is very focused on competition and sport Jiu-Jitsu, rather than self-defense.

We love Gracie Barra, the coaches and classes have had a profound impact on our sons ability to focus, accountability and motivation in and out of the gym. Gracie Barra Novi is the perfect balance of technical skill, respect, influence and practicality ! We were invited by a friend, and knew before the first class was over it was a great fit ! Thank you Gracie Barra Novi !

We have been with Gracie Barra Novi for over 2 years. Our son began attending around 4 years old. It has been great for his confidence and skill building. Great team, great coaches. Family like atmosphere. The class has been great for his self esteem! Highly recommend it!

Great group of students and nice facility! Membership process was easy and straightforward. Gracie Barra is an awesome place to do martial arts!

Did Muay Thai and BJJ twice a week for a few months. I would keep going, but my hectic schedule doesn't allow for it at the moment. All the coaches are GREAT and are extremely knowledgeable. They pay special attention to newcomers and make them feel like they are always welcome. Great emphasis on foundation and fundamentals.

I attended Gracie Barra for Jiu Jitsu classes and had a great time. Unfortunately due to health reasons I had to quit but for a first timer with no experience, everybody was so welcoming, knowledgeable and supportive. I am sad to be leaving!

One of the best place to learn Martial Arts. I witnessed how the coaches were teaching the kids on Jiu jitsu, Very supportive to each kid. Focusing on every kid in the class is really complicated but the team really did well. I strongly recommend👍

I did jiu-jitsu here for about two years and really enjoyed my time. I'm really grateful for the opportunity to learn, grow, and get stronger. I was humbled by what I learned and so thankful I stuck with it. You learn a lot in the classes and it's really useful. I was so happy to train here.

The instructors have created a great environment and atmosphere at Gracie Barra Novi. A great place for all levels from beginner (like me) to advanced and experienced Jui-Jitsu practitioners. I highly recommend to anyone looking to challenge themselves and reach their individual goals in a very supportive environment!
