Gracie Barra Orem Jiu Jitsu & Self Defense

“All of the coaches and professors are incredible. If you are looking for physical and mental growth, your journey starts at Gracie Barra. The facility is top notch as well. Plenty of room, light and everything is perfectly well kept and clean. Would give these guys and gals 10/5 stars if it would let me.”

“Having competed my whole life in sports and activities I was familiar with, trying something completely new like Jiu-Jitsu was leaving entirely out of my comfort zone. However, as soon as I stepped into the academy for the first time I felt at home! Professor Zuza and Professor Relter are extremely professional, friendly and they tailor their teaching style to your personal needs. A mix of understanding the pace you can go at while also pushing you to be your best self. Also, the veteran members are super welcoming and make you feel part of the family from day 1. There is absolutely no ego at Gracie Barra! No matter your ability, age, size etc this place is for you. It only takes a few training sessions to get hooked into the art. Jiu-Jitsu truly is for everyone. Couldn’t recommend this establishment more to anyone looking to increase their confidence, self-defense capability and to progress in life!”

“I highly recommend GB Orem! Professor Zuza and his staff are friendly and professional. They do an amazing job helping all skill levels feel welcome and pushing everyone to learn and grow. It was intimidating to start a combat sport at 45 but everyone at the school quickly felt like family and has been amazing to train with for the past 18 months. I was able to slowly pull all my children into training and now we enjoy time on the mats nearly six days a week. The parents & kids class on Saturday mornings is a lot of fun to train with my youngest kids and spend quality time with them. GB Orem maintains the studio very well, very clean and bright. If you have been considering starting BJJ yourself or want to get your kids into a great program, please sign up for a free trial class right now!”

“As a fifty-year-old man starting a new journey with my kids, Gracie Barra Jiu Jitsu has been a transformative experience for us. From the moment we stepped onto the mat, we were welcomed into an environment that fosters discipline, perseverance, and, most importantly, a lot of fun. What I love most is that no matter your physical ability, GBJJ meets you right where you are, making it accessible for everyone. As my children grow older, those heartfelt hugs have become less frequent, but GBJJ has introduced us to a unique form of “tactical hugging.” It’s a fantastic way to bond while learning self-defense and building confidence together. If you’re looking for a way to challenge yourself and strengthen your connection with your loved ones, do yourself a favor and join a class. You won’t regret it!”

“My boys have loved learning from the professors and other students. It’s become a second home for them!! Great environment and memories for a lifetime.”
