Welcome to Gracie Barra Romeo, your home for world-class Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Romeo, Michigan. More than just a gym, we’re a community united by respect, growth, and the pursuit of excellence—on and off the mats.

Our Mission

At Gracie Barra Romeo, our mission is simple: to teach Jiu-Jitsu for everyone. Whether you’re a child, teen, adult, or senior, with zero experience or years of training, our programs are designed to help you build confidence, discipline, and self-defense skills in a supportive environment.

Who We Are

We are proud to be part of the global Gracie Barra network, founded in 1986 by Master Carlos Gracie Jr., which emphasizes structured curriculum, technical excellence, and a values-based culture.

  • Here in Romeo, our team is dedicated to carrying forward that legacy. We offer:

  • Certified instructors who guide you safely through each level

  • A welcoming atmosphere where everyone can learn and improve

  • Programs for kids, teens, women, and adults

  • Opportunities for private coaching and advancement

What We Believe

At our core, we believe:

  • Growth comes through consistent effort — improvement is a journey, not a destination

  • Strength of character is as important as strength on the mat — integrity, respect, and humility matter

  • Community is essential — we learn best when we support one another

  • Martial arts transform lives — physically, mentally, and socially

  • All skill levels welcome — you’ll find a place with us, whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned athlete
