Tim has dedicated his life to his family and Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

“There is no showboating in our Martial Arts classes, we come in to train jiu jitsu, sweat, have fun and get everybody better. When you enter a Gracie Barra class, we all leave our egos at the door, including me. Gracie Barra is like a family, and families help each other reach their full potential” – Tim Shears
