Gracie Barra Riverside Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Martial Arts

“I have been training with Gracie for about 2 months and it is awesome. They offer a women’s only class on Saturday mornings at the Riverside location. All of the ladies are great. We are bonding and making our friendship better each weekend. I was able to gain the comfort and confidence with my training partner/ friends and coaches and also began trying out the mixed classes during the week nights. If your looking for a place to learn some great skills and friendship, come join us. All of the coaches are great. Be ready for a nice full body workout. See you soon :)”

“You get what you pay for—GREAT coaches. They made our kids (12 and 5 years old) feel comfortable, especially during the first few training sessions. The coaches are very knowledgeable. Emmy has a no-nonsense voice, which helps kids stay focused. Coach D strikes a great balance with his play-by-play commentary, making the sessions engaging. Coach Candice's laser focus on each child's technique is impressive. Honestly, all the coaches have been wonderful. The environment is very clean as well.”

“Just signed my two boys up to get some exercise and learn self-defense. The coaches and staff made them and myself feel very welcoming. Coach Emmy provides great step by step instructions for groups of all age's and different skill level. The other coaches are very knowledgeable and give all the students their undivided attention to help them develop new skills each week. I couldn’t be happier with what, I and my young sons, have experienced so far. The communication between the staff and parents is also amazing and the building is always very clean. Worth every penny.”

“I enjoy the community. Having done martial arts for many years I find one of the most important aspects is a good culture and supportive community. I also appreciate that they are able to offer different levels of training for the different types of individuals looking for different aspects of jiu jitsu. From hobbyist to competitor, to family bonding, this community has much to offer. Thank you.”

“If you’ve ever considered trying Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Gracie Barra Riverside is the place to start. From day one, the coaches and community made us my daughter feel welcome, supported, and motivated. 💯. Coach Emi & Coach Candice are amazing!!!! Always supporting my child, encouraging her to be better & making sure she is learning the techniques well. Thank You”
