Gracie Barra Oceanside

“Ever since my son joined this academy I noticed he is very enthusiastic to train in jiu-jitsu. I’m confident Noah will gain good discipline and self defense from the leadership of Professor Doug and Professor Christina, as well as his coaches, Phil, Eric, Ji, and Junior. I am very glad we joined this academy and look forward for Noah’s journey ahead!”

“Third times a charm! I've been with my kids at UFC gym and 10th Planet before Gracie Oceanside. We loved UFC gym but unfortunately they didn't have a structured/ organized belt promoting system. When the quarantine was lifted, UFC gym near us closed down. For 10th planet, as much as we wanted to get into No Gi, we just wasn't feeling the energy of the staff. Also, some of the kids got away with murder as the staff didn't hold them accountable and could be distracting at times to others trying to learn. I had always wanted to join Gracie but I really wanted a strong No Gi option along with Gi. After giving the free class a try, our entire family was sold. I had a few other places we were going to try but all of us liked it so much we decided to sign up and reasses after a month's time. Before the month was up, we all agreed this is our spot. Not only is the instruction top notch, but the entire staff is incredible and great at what they do... every one of them. This gym puts safety in the forefront. The ratio of staff/students is way more than I've ever seen which equates to a more efficient and productive learning experience. Gracie Oceanside instills leadership, good behavior, and positive principles to their students. Even more so for their children programs. I can't explain the feeling when you see your kids are happy where they are at and what they are learning and look forward to their classes. As long as we are in Oceanside, Gracie Barra Oceanside will always be our jiu-jitsu gym. Highly recommend anyone looking for a jiu-jitsu gym to check this place out. If you are unsure of the gym where you are at, try a free class and see if this gym fits you better.”

“If you or someone else in your family is looking to begin or continue on their BJJ journey then look no further, Gracie Barra Oceanside will welcome you with open arms and make you a part of the family! The establishment is led by Professors Doug and Christina who are assisted by trusted Coaches that are professional, knowledgeable, and most importantly caring. The quality of training they provide is top notch and will build a foundation for permanent success. If I could give 10 stars as a recommendation it wouldn’t be enough to show my appreciation for what this team has done for my son! We will miss the Gracie Barra Oceanside Family and never forget the BJJ and life lessons that were instilled by a great group of people.”

“Amazing program under Doug leadership ! The kids program is great with a lot of lessons not only on the martial art as but also on the human development for the kids ! Strongly recommend”

“Gracie Barra Oceanside is Amazing! My son has been Enrolled for about 9 months, I’ve seen improvement in him. His respectful he listens, and his learning self defense which is really important to me. Professor Doug and professor Cristina are amazing and take the time to talk to you about you child and ways to improve. Coach Phil, coach Eric and coach Ji are all amazing as well! Couldn’t ask for anything better it’s so great I joined myself and it’s helped me in my personal life a lot! If you’re thinking of joining or putting your little ones in don’t just do it! Best choice I made”
