Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Rio Rancho New Mexico

“This gym has been nothing but helpful and great teaching. They let me and my nephew try a class. They are military friendly and helped my nephew. My nephew had transverse myelitis when he was younger. He lost function in his arm, and is slowly recovering. Even with his disability these teachers were patient and very helpful. I am very thankful for this community and team. Great teachers and students.”

“I have been training here for a little more than a year and my life has changed for the better. My mind, body and soul is stronger and healthier. Thank you Rio Rancho Professors and coaches for always making sure I feel comfortable, welcomed, and prepared! This team builds trust, loyalty and confidence. Always making women of all ages and backgrounds feel welcomed and valued. I always feel confident and prepared in my competitions because of my professors guidance and knowledge and the safe training partners. I believe we have the best of the best here; from world champions to overall hard working, caring leadership! I would say we are all very lucky here but it’s not luck, it’s hard work. This team will help you achieve goals with good choices, staying consistent and making sacrifices at times. Five stars! Thank you Gracie Barra Rio Rancho.”

“I’m a member at another Gracie Barra location but drop in here regularly. I’m always treated like family here even though I don’t pay haha! I’ve learned so much from every instructor at this location. These are great people to surround yourself with. My kids used to train here too. The youth programs are fantastic as well. Much love Joebe, Isiah, Alfredo, Russell 🤙🏻.”

“Great training, great atmosphere, and great technique. Professor Russell, Professor Isaiah and Professor Jobe are super knowledgeable and the staff is always ready to help. If you’re looking for self defense, learning a new sport, or trying to get fit the first class is always free!”

“This is a fantastic school. The instructors and other students were extremely friendly, encouraging and helpful. I have been a police officer for 20+ years and was in the area training for 3 months. During this time this school accepted me, helped me and gave me the opportunity to improve my jiujitsu. And, I had fun in the process. All instructors are great. Would suggest to any age or experience level. Highest recommendation. Need to add the instructors were very knowledgeable.”
