About this academy

My life is dedicated to Jiu Jitsu. My goal was simply to build a brotherhood to lead the expansion of BJJ while respecting the essence of our art. My students are an extension of my family.

It was a great day of "NoGi" training at Gracie Barra Oval led by Professor Ciao Rocha! I was welcomed with open arms and enjoyed the Competition Class for 1 1/2 hours, sparring with the students there! I look forward to coming back and train again! Yes, Jiu Jitsu is for Everyone!!!

I joined Gracie Barra Oval a few months after moving to London & I had no prior BJJ experience. It is a fantastic school with an exceptional quality of teaching & a very flexible schedule. All the coaches & staff are welcoming & friendly, lead by professor Eduardo. The club has a great team spirit & atmosphere. I look forward to continuing my BJJ journey in Gracie Barra Oval & would recommend it to anyone considering, or already practicing BJJ.
