What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Abdul Momeni
"I’ve been training at GB for just over two 1/2 years now, and it’s truly been a life-changing journey. From day one, the staff made me feel welcome, and the community here is incredibly supportive. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced, there’s always someone willing to help you improve. When I started, I was diabetic and dependent on both metformin and insulin. Within eight months of consistent training and lifestyle changes through Jiu-Jitsu, I was completely off all medications. That alone speaks volumes about the impact this place has had on my health and well-being. What makes it even better is that this academy is now a part of our whole family’s life. My wife trains here, along with our 8-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter. The boost in their confidence, discipline, and personal growth has been incredible to witness. If you’re looking for a place to transform your health, build real confidence, and grow as a person—and even as a family—Gracie Barra is it. Highly recommend."
Brad Steinbach
"Both of my children have trained here for almost a year now, relocating from another gym I can defiantly say that GB has taken there jiujitsu to another level. This gym has a lot to offer, from a beginner, to a high level competitor you will find exactly what you are looking for. Great professors, great coaches and staff."

"For the past year and a half, our family has been part of the Gracie Barra Jiu-Jitsu family in Morgan Hill — and we absolutely love it! Our daughter started training in November of 2023 at just 6 years old, and I joined GBBJJ in 2024 at the tender age of 47. It’s been an incredible journey for both of us. The professors and coaches are not only amazing teachers but truly care about every student. And the staff is amazing! Our daughter has grown so much in confidence, discipline, strength and skill — and for me, it’s been an awesome way to get healthier and connect with her on a whole new level; This is our special bond, and we cherish every moment together in this journey. If you’re a parent looking for something meaningful to do with your child, or if you just want to try something new and different, this place is something special. Give jiujitsu a try!!! We are so proud to be part of this community! Ossss🤙🏽"
Julia Hodge
"We’ve been proud members of Gracie Barra Morgan Hill since 2022, and it’s been an incredible journey for our whole family. My Husband trains here, and both of our sons are on the competition team. It’s amazing to see a gym that not only offers top-quality Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for all ages, but also supports a high-level competition team that challenges and inspires the kids (and adults who compete) to grow as athletes and individuals. The Professors and Coaches are outstanding, knowledgeable, dedicated, and genuinely care about each student’s progress on and off the mats. The environment is clean, welcoming, and filled with positive energy. Whether you’re training for fun, fitness, or competition, there’s a place for you here. We’re so grateful to be part of the GB Morgan Hill family. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for world-class training and a true sense of community!"
