I have been training at Gracie Barra Lake Park for a little less than a year now, and it has been truly life-changing. As someone who had never done Jiu-Jitsu before, I was initially timid, but Professor Bernardo’s energy is unlike any other. He understands that each student progresses at their own pace while also pushing you to be the best you can be. I originally joined to improve my physical health, but Jiu-Jitsu at Lake Park offers so much more than just exercise. If you have any interest, I highly recommend trying a trial class—you’ll find not only great training but also a strong and supportive community at Gracie Barra Lake Park. Paul Finelli2025-01-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went to a class while visiting and I was extremely impressed. Professor Bernardo was awesome and the gym has an incredible atmosphere. The class started with a quick warm up, then we learned a takedown and then spent time on rubber guard. Professor Bernardo was very attentive to all the students and spent time refining everyone's technique throughout. I felt like a learned a ton in the hour of teaching. At the end of class we rolled and everyone was great - competitive but friendly and felt very safe. Mikaue Britt2025-01-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I don’t write many reviews, but this place deserves all the stars they can get! From the friendly environment to the awesome didactics classes taught by Bernardo, GBLP really is a great school. Lately we have the female self defense class taught by Natalie and the class was nothing but amazing. Her energy, technic and dedication to make all of us comfortable was great. Highly recommend this place for anyone, any age with any life goal . Carlos Ríos2024-12-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

BRUX402024-10-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently came to florida on an extend business trip, and needing to train so I don’t fall behind at my own gym I luckily came across Gracie Barra Lake Park. Bernardo welcomed me in and instantly treated me like family. His style of teaching the techniques and breaking down concepts was by far the best from any professor that I’ve trained with and he has taken my jiu jitsu to another level. Thank you again to Bernardo and the Gracie Barra Lake Park family for the laughs, rolls, and the knowledge. Hope to see all of you again ossss🤙🏽 Nicole Maglio2024-10-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Training here has brought an incredible amount of purpose to my life.

GB Lake Park came HIGHLY recommended - and rightfully so. GB Lake Park provides a clean and welcoming environment to train, learn, and have fun. Professor Bernardo does an exceptional job simplifying techniques and ensuring all students receive the attention they need to grasp the concepts being taught.
