Professor Kaliffa Oliveira

Professor Kaliffa Oliveira has been training Jiu-Jitsu since 1998 and got his black belt back in 2013, not only that but he is also a Judo black belt - all together he has trained martial arts for over 35 years! Impressive, we know!!
Professor Kaliffa is one of the partners of GB Huntsville and the owner of GB Pelham, our Gracie Barra headquarters in the state of Alabama, and on top of all of that he is also the Regional Director for the state of Alabama within the Gracie Barra organization.

Professor Kaliffa is tough yes… but it gets “worse” when he brings his also black belt wife, Professor Lorena and his two kids who also train Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling with him!
You won’t see him on a daily basis here at the school but we will make sure he stops by every month to teach a class or two… Jiu-Jitsu and Judo!!

Exceptional School! I had been looking for a Gracie Barra to open in Huntsville for several years. I wanted to recommend a good martial arts program for my grand children. I'm so glad they opened. My two grandchildren have been here for about 8 months and results are fantastic. The owners/instructors are extraordinary. Skilled. Patient. Kind. I have been training in martial arts for more than 40 years and this is one of the best run schools I've seen.

I can’t say enough good things about Gracie Barra Huntsville. I started only about two months ago and I love it here. Professors Jimmie and Helen are highly talented, passionate professors with an incredible ability and patience to teach jiu jitsu to all ages and skill levels. They lead a great family-like environment which is complemented by excellent training partners and a squeaky clean mat space. I’ve learned so much here and made a lot of new friends already. You will not regret joining the Gracie Barra Huntsville team.

Instructors Helen and Jimmie provide excellent coaching while leading the fun and engaging classes. The class schedule is substantial and flexible enough to allow me to attend multiple trainings each week, even with my busy work/family life. The facility is very clean, the training mats are always spotless. The classes are approachable even for complete beginners, and there is a friendly, welcoming, and positive gym culture.
