Gracie Barra Orem Jiu Jitsu & Self Defense

“Training at Gracie Barra Orem has been an incredible experience! The facility is beautiful, clean, and very well-maintained — you can feel the positive energy as soon as you walk in. Everything is super organized, and it’s clear that the team takes a lot of pride in creating a welcoming and professional environment. The Professors at Gracie Barra Orem are absolutely top-notch. They’re not only highly skilled in Jiu Jitsu, but also excellent teachers — patient, supportive, and able to work with students of all levels. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your game, you’ll feel right at home here. I can’t recommend Gracie Barra Orem enough. Amazing people, amazing place, and top-level training!”

“My kids have been training here for almost 2 years after trying a couple of other local gyms. Professor Zuza is the best professor, specifically with kids, I have seen. His attention to detail with each kid, knowing their skill level, what they need extra help on, who needs more competitive training, etc. is the type of detail you don't see at other schools. His exceptional knowledge of the sport translates in the way he can teach the same technique to a 4 year old and to a 14 year old in a manner that makes sense to both. GB Orem has a great family and community environment. Here you can build a village for your kids and we look out for each other. Kids learn discipline, and life lessons that translate to school, home life, and other sports. I wouldn't recommend any other school around. Save yourself time and come try a class here!”

“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!”

“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!”

“My children love their self defense training. Each class gives them almost an hour of jiujitsu. The coaches and professors are great teachers of the art. I am glad Gracie Barra exists in our community.”
