From the reviews
This school is incredible. Truly. We have been so impressed with the teaching and coaching, the amount of content in each class, and the positive, welcoming environment! Everything is organized and efficient, the communication is fantastic, and the location is spotless.
Update: I still drive a half hour each way 4 days a week(most weeks) to come to this gym. Coach Tim creates a welcoming, safe,and inclusive, atmosphere for students of all shapes,sizes,and skill levels. I am so happy I found this place. I have made so many friends, gotten my self back in shape.
My 3 kids have been lucky enough to be apart of the gym for 8 months. Wow life changing for each one of them! So fun to watch. Dr. Tim always has an encouraging words at the end of class. Hope to see you at Gracie Barra Beaver County.

Your first BJJ class at Gracie Barra Beaver County Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Self Defense
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
