Head Professor: Mike Buckels

Details: The Gracie Barra School of O’Fallon was founded in October 2011. Our school is the result of the efforts of Professor Mike Buckels, a 4th Degree Black Belt under Marcio Feitosa and Master Carlos Gracie Jr. We offer world-class level Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instruction for individuals, families, and Law Enforcement officials of St. Charles County and is a reference for fitness, character development, self-defense, martial arts, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training for the communities of O’Fallon, Lake Saint Louis, Dardenne Prairie, St. Peters and Wentzville. The Gracie Barra O’Fallon classes are aligned with the Gracie Barra Program Structure developed by Master Carlos Gracie Jr. to meet specific learning needs from people with different ages, gender, and levels. Our clean, friendly, and progress-oriented environment allows you to have an inspirational, challenging, and technical training experience that will always make you feel like coming back. Gracie Barra is for anyone who values honor, respect, martial arts, wellness, discipline, and is looking for a balanced lifestyle. It doesn’t matter if you are a person with no martial arts background that wants to lose weight or you just want to learn self-defense, a businessman looking for a stress-relieving activity, a parent searching for something to complement the education of your kids, or an experienced martial artist aiming for further development of your skill, come try the school. We are sure you will find at our school an exciting and challenging place that will allow you to grow as a person and achieve your goals.

Kids Program Detail: The parental decision to invest in a martial arts program for their child is an important one. The program they choose should effectively teach their children the martial skills they want to develop, while reinforcing the values they teach at home. Unlike many TMA (traditional martial arts) schools Gracie Barra O’Fallon takes a long term approach to child development. We pride ourselves in not being a “belt factory”. Simply put, we do not quickly push your child through a system of katas, forms, and other martial art choreography while at the same time incurring you, as the parent, costs per test and belt. At Gracie Barra in O’Fallon, we DO NOT charge for tests or belts. While our instructors take pride in the team accomplishments, and those of their students, their primary goal is working with parents to develop healthy, happy, strong and confident young men and women who become outstanding citizens in our community.The Gracie Barra Future Champions Program was created to provide children ages 7 -15 with an environment that allows them to experience and understand core values like focus, self confidence, discipline, persistence, cooperation and respect. Classes are divided into two age groups (10-12 & 13-15 years of age) and are taught in a fun and challenging group environment with instructors that are attentive to the individual need of the students. GB BJJ is second to none in preparing kids and teens to handle serious situations such as bullying which is more prevalent in this age group and can be more intense with outlets such as social media making it easier to bully.

The techniques are complemented by a strong fitness component that is second to none compared to classes offered in regular gyms.
