Professor Tássia is a passionate, supportive, and talented jiujiteira, who fosters a successful and positive environment to train jiu jitsu. Its really special when you meet someone who is so into their craft- it motivates you to show up each day and put in the work. Tássia is warm, welcoming, and will be your biggest supporter on and off the mats. Also, her spider guard is FIRE!
Very cute. Couches great with children. Id like to see the groups mixed more.
Once in a lifetime you meet people so genuine, so in tune with what they do that they change your life for the best:- Professora Tassia is the first female jujiteira to receive a black belt from the legend professor Romulo Barral. You don’t become a black belt in jiu-jitsu just because you have been training for a certain amount of time or won a few competitions. That’s not enough. In jiu-jitsu you have to be able to teach, not just techniques, but a way of life, a certain “je ne sais quoi.” That’s what professora Tassia does. Sure, she has won major competitions. Sure, she has spent countless hours on the tatami perfecting her art. She will also be one of the softest-spoken, nicest all-around, most genuine person you will ever meet. She teaches my kids. She lets me train with her. She is the embodiment of what it means to be a professor.- Coach Kristof is a fierce competitor and an extraordinary person. He has won countless jiu-jitsu tournaments in Europe and in America. A brown belt under Romulo Barral, he has countless hours of training under his (jiu-jitsu) belt. He is an amazing instructor. He has taught me and my kids so much.Their facility is brand new and clean. There is ample parking in front. I highly recommend Gracie Barra Roseville. Not just for adults, but kids too; I have two little ones training. Not just for males but females too. My wife takes jiu-jitsu and she kicks my butt. Jiu-jitsu is for everyone. Gracie Barra is a family and Professora Tassia and Coach Kristof certainly will make you feel like theirs.
A place for EVERYONE (regardless of differences) to grow, meet cool people, and build confidence. Do you get that at a regular gym? NO. I can not remember the last time I went to a gym and actually talked to people, exchanged numbers or IG info. From the minute you walk into Gracie Barra Roseville you recognize that you are in a safe place with no judgement.I originally began my jujitsu journey on account of the fact that my Husband had developed a healthy obsession with it. He made it very clear that having jujitsu in our family’s life was sure to make things exponentially better. He constantly encouraged me to give it a try because he was confident I would fall in love the way he had. I was initially VERY nervous. I, like many people, played competitive sports in high school but stopped all of them following graduation. In the ten plus years since high school I have de-prioritized my own health and fitness. Going to my first class, willing get my butt kicked, and be reminded of how out of shape I had let myself get sounded like torture. I could not have been more WRONG!Professora Tassia taught my first class. She was everything I could have hoped for in a teacher/coach. Calm, funny, open, accepting (of even all of my faults), and most importantly she made me feel welcomed. The kind of woman I hope both of my Daughters will become one day. Professora, if you are reading this, thank you. You can not know how scared I was that first day.If anyone out there is on the fence about giving this sport or this location a try... I challenge you to do it. Just look at their schedule online, pick a day and time that works best and do it. Drive there, walk in, and at the bare minimum talk with someone and stay to watch a class. You will not regret it. In such an uncertain world, during these uncertain times, something as simple as a jujitsu class with Professora Tassia or Professor Kristof will most certainly change your life for the better. OSS.
Great school with great instructors and most importantly a GREAT culture. My wife and I came in and were immediately put at ease upon meating Kristoff and Tassia. They are so laid back but also consummate professionals at the same time its a great dynamic and it trickles down to their students. Which is really were this program shines in my opinion. Going into a gym can be intimidating for many reasons but none more so to me than concern for quality of training partners. This place completely abates that, everyone is so friendly and willing to work with anyone regardless of their level or skill. Three words would describe this program to me.FUN, EXCITING, WELCOMING
From the second you walk in the door you are treated like family. Tassia and Kristof teach world class Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The best Professors in greater Sac and Placer!
It was a great opportunity to have a class with Tassia! She Is an amazing professor and was always making sure that all the students were getting the techniques right. She is also a great person which just makes easier to be around and get her lessons.
Professor Tassia and Professor Kristof are amazing! They’ve built this beautiful school to share their knowledge and passion. Highly recommend!
Professors Tassia and Kris are extraordinaries! They know the true jiu-jitsu and I got impressed how they are able to share everything in the most simple way.I highly recommend Gracie Barra Roseville for tou and your family.🏆🏆🏆
Loved my time training under Tassia! Hadnt I relocated, Id still be training under her. The womens class I trained in; in addition to the beginners class, Tassia pushed me to challenge my inner critic, and encouraged me to press through any challenge I was facing! She has a humble soul with great enthusiasm for life and her students! She sees the best in everyone!!
Coach Kristof is awesome. I started studying BJJ just 2 months ago and am hooked. He is a very good instructor: super clear, patient, and always friendly. Being in my fifties, I wasn’t sure I would be able to learn BJJ, but with such a skilled coach, it is doable! The facility is extremely clean too. Turns out the sessions are fantastic cardio exercise also. I highly recommend this school. Give it a try!
Both of the instructors are awesome and super nice people. If you go to open mat be prepared to come out drenched.Thanks professor Tassia & coach Kristof !!! 🙏🤙
Tassia is not just an amazing person but an amazing athlete. Her and Kristoff are great professors/coaches of jiu jitsu. If youve ever wanted to try out the sport these two people are the ones to try it out with. 😀
I have the absolute pleasure and privilege to train with Tassia and Kristof for some months now and I’m beyond blessed. I’ve personally traveled around the United States training with world class jiu jitsu practitioners and these two do not fall short of amazing!! They have met every jiu jitsu need from being family friendly to being tuff and competitive for those who like to compete. They have perfected my current game and are still fine tuning it for my life time goal in jiu jitsu. I didn’t just gain a team with Gracie Barra Roseville I gained a family and a home. If there is a team in this area that can meet your jiu jitsu expectations it’s going to be with Tassia and Kristof at Gracie Barra Roseville. - Shelly S.
Tassia is an excellent Professor!I trained with Tassia for over 7 years, starting as a white belt. Tassia rolls with everyone, belt levels doesnt matter. Whatever belt level I have been at, Tassia has new information to teach, and challenging training.In the midst of my BJJ journey, I suffered a severe accident that left me with an above-knee amputation to my left leg. Once I was able to return to training, she helped me adapt and brainstorm techniques that will help me continue to be a challenging opponent to my able-bodied training partners.Tassia is extremely gifted at breaking down techniques and teaching important details. You always know what to focus on in training and she can foresee common mistakes allowing you to train and implement techniques more effectively and successfully.Tassia is an amazingly skilled and knowledgeable teacher thats wonderful to be around. She has a patient disposition and is easy to talk to. When I train with Tassia, I always feel that I am moving forward and learning.
Tássia is one of the best instructors in the world. First female black belt from legend Romulo Barral and multiple time champion herself. Lucky to have her teach BJJ. Her techniques have worked very well for me against larger/ stronger opponents.
Love Gracie Barra! The instructors are all so amazing and Ive learnt so much in classes. Professora Tassia is so amazing and she really accommodates to everyone and their abilities. Truly made me love Jiu-Jitsu!!
The most amazing and supportive Professor/Coaches a person could ask for! Professor Tassia and Coach Kristof are very passionate about Jiu-Jitsu and passionate about teaching Jiu-Jitsu! The love they have for this beautiful sport is reflected in the way they teach their students. It’s a place that the entire family can come learn and train. They truly embrace the idea that Jiu-Jitsu is for everyone! Training at Gracie Barra Roseville will be one of the best decisions you make! Trust me.
