Gracie Barra Upland Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Self Defense

“My daughter and I love Gracie Barra upland! All of the professors/ coaches are so patient and kind with the kids. The facility is very clean, which is always a plus and the fans keep the entire place cool for everyone. We love coach Alexia, she’s the sweetest and is always willing to help when we have any questions :) Professor Paulo, Richard, and Jason are amazing and attentive. Coaches Evan, Lana, Larissa are so patient and great with the kids :) Nylah loves you all ”

“This is such a great BJJ school and program for both adults and children. My son has been coming here for the Summer Training program. They have so many instructors that it almost feels like private lessons. All of the instructors are extremely patient with the kids. They encourage a team environment, talk about leadership, and talk to the kids about keeping with things when they’re tough. All great skills not just for BJJ but for life. They do also offer women’s only class with all women instructors. It’s a large facility with plenty of seating, 2 different large mats, and it’s always clean!”

“I was really nervous about starting Jiu Jitsu but Alexia was there to answer any questions I had and was there help me along my first classes, showing me techniques and helping me through the warm ups. This place is amazing. Everyone is so nice and patient. I love going here and the coaches and Alexia are amazing. I'm very grateful to have found a welcoming place.”

“Professors Ana & Rafael have created a quality family/team environment where everyone from the staff to seasoned students are approachable and willing to help you with your technique & goals. Whether you're a hobbyist, competitor or just looking to have fun and a great workout, the GB curriculum covers every level and speed. Owners and staff strive to raise the standard for professionalism, conduct & etiquette, ensuring everyone feels comfortable in a challenging & rewarding environment. Issues/concerns are addressed without delay. The kids & teens program is second-to-none, producing consistent medalists in every major tournament --locally, nationally and even internationally. If you have a competitive child looking to develop, improve and fine-tune their game; Iron sharpens iron at GB Upland. My daughters have greatly benefited from the team support. The front office is easy to reach out to whenever life/school etc., happens and extracurricular priorities change. They've accommodated my child's occasional breaks a couple times with complete understanding. Shoutout to Pedro for making the membership/contractual process painless & concise. Can't recommend GB Upland enough!”

“When our son was 4 years old we wanted him to get into some sort of martial art, didn’t know where to start but came across Gracie Barra in upland. We walked in and my son tried a class and it was love at first sight for him. 4 years later we are still at the gym and have had nothing but wonderful experiences and memories with the coaches, staff, and families at this gym. If you are looking for a gym that instills values, helps your child learn to be confident, gain positive character traits as well as learn an amazing sport look no further. We see our son here for many many more years. We have referred several friends and family and every single one of them have also fallen in love with the coaches and this program. I don’t leave many reviews but this one is near to our hearts and I wanted to share it with everyone”
