Gracie Barra Costa Mesa

"GB Costa Mesa has been such an incredible experience for my son. It is such a welcoming environment, where he has learned confidence and discipline all while having so much fun. The staff is so awesome, It’s clear through their lessons that each and every one of them thoroughly loves teaching! The passion here is contagious! I am so excited to watch my son keep growing and learning for years to come!"

"Hands down the best decision we’ve made for our daughter Our daughter has been attending Gracie Barra Costa Mesa for a year now and the growth we’ve witnessed in her both on and off the mats has been incredible. The level of instruction here is unmatched. Every coach brings not just technique and discipline but heart and intention to every class. They see each student’s potential and push them to rise to it. She has advanced so much thanks to their dedication and more importantly she’s gained confidence, resilience, and a sense of belonging that carries into every area of her life. Jiu jitsu is more than a martial art. It is a way of life. It teaches humility, patience, manners, self-control, and problem-solving. Even at her young age, we’ve seen her carry herself with more focus, awareness, and kindness. She is stronger physically and mentally because of it. The studio is clean and welcoming with an energy that makes you want to stay. They offer Kangan water which is a huge bonus. There’s always plenty of parking and the community here is full of amazing people who genuinely support one another. The vibes are just different—uplifting, positive, and empowering. Gracie Barra Costa Mesa isn’t just a place to train. It is a place to grow. Whether you’re looking for a powerful way to build confidence in your child or you’re an adult wanting to challenge yourself in a life changing way, this is the spot. I couldn’t recommend it more."

"We have really enjoyed our daughter’s first Jui Jitsu experience here. She is loving the classes. The kids are able to push themselves as much as they want, or little, during warm-ups and exercises. They try their best to put students of similar size and level together when they spar. Thank you to Elan and Jodi for making this new experience a positive one."

"My kids have developed grit, resilience, leadership, respect and discipline over the past few years with GBCM. I cannot say enough good things about our experience. It’s been life changing. Thank you to all the professors and coaches who mentored and helped my kids develop into confident and hard working individuals."
