Gracie Barra Garden Grove

“TLDR: 5 stars, great vibes, awesome instruction, safe and friendly place to train. These guys train hard but are not looking to injure anyone. All the black belts were super fun to roll with and all play very high-level games. These guys will smash you but nobody is ripping subs or being crazy. All around an awesome gym. I’ve heard about funky Gracie Barra gyms with weird rules and mandatory GB gear even for drop ins. That was not my experience here which was great. 🤙🏽 I took a drop in gi and nogi class as I’m here from out of town. If I lived here I’d train with these guys often. Sick gym with great people. Highly recommend checking this place out!!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🔥🔥”

“Our family has been with Gracie Barra Garden Grove for 4 years now. This academy is the BEST! The entire staff is there because they actually love the sport. Nothing feels forced and they are passionate about the sport and teaching others. Coach Natalie is extremely skilled and wonderful with children and Professor Alex is truly one of a kind. He has an exceptional ability to relate to his students (young & old) in a way that makes his coaching safe and effective. They offer many programs for all age and skill levels as well as private lessons. If you are looking for an outlet for your children to grow or if you are looking for a unique fitness option for yourself, this is the place. Highly recommended!!”

“Muy daughter used to go to a different gym for years before we came to Gracie Barra Garden Grove, her technique and confidence got a huge boost and I have to say it is because of the way they tech here. Great place for family.”

“I've been going to Gracie Barra Garden Grove for a while now, and would recommend it to anyone looking to learn a new skill, or to take their training to the next level. Coach Alex is friendly and knowledgeable, and though I've only taken the adult classes, I've seen him coaching his kids classes and been very impressed with his involved and passionate teaching style there as well. All of the coaches at GBGG have been extremely helpful, and it's easy to tell that they genuinely want their students to grow as individuals and as athletes. This school is the real deal.”

“Great school to train at! My 10 year old son loves all the coaches. They are patient and very thorough. I love to train here myself, we have a great team of ladies, that was a big component when choosing a school for me. All the professors are great :)”
