Gracie Barra operates Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and martial arts academies in Tacoma, Renton, and Marysville, Washington. The schools welcome children, teens, and adults of all experience levels, from beginners to professional fighters, and offer group classes and one-on-one training with certified instructors. Since 2001, the academies have focused on helping students build skills and confidence in a supportive environment, while promoting discipline, respect, resilience, and personal growth.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the core program, with classes covering martial arts training and self-defense. Students can also take BANG Muay Thai classes to develop striking skills, balance, and coordination. Additional offerings include Fit + Fierce, a strength, cardio, and conditioning program, and nutrition coaching focused on sustainable healthy eating habits. Programs are tailored to different age groups: children work on coordination, teamwork, and discipline; teens develop fitness and confidence; and adults can train for fitness, self-defense, or a new challenge. The academies also emphasize safety and connect students with the wider Gracie Barra network.
