Gracie Barra Oxnard

"A Family Forged on the Mats: Our Gracie Barra Oxnard Journey Finding a community that embraces your entire family with open arms is a rare and precious gift. For us, that gift has been Gracie Barra Jiu-Jitsu in Oxnard. From the moment we walked through their doors, it was clear this was more than just a gym; it was a family. The warmth and genuine care extended to us from day one has been nothing short of extraordinary. Our journey here began with our seven-year-old daughter. We were hoping to find an activity that would help her build confidence and find a positive outlet for her energy. After almost a year with the Gracie Barra family, we have witnessed a beautiful transformation in her. The instructors have shown a remarkable level of patience and commitment, not just to teaching the techniques of jiu-jitsu, but to nurturing the character of each child. She carries herself with a newfound sense of self-assurance, both on and off the mats. The family atmosphere is what truly sets this gym apart. The coaches and staff took the time to learn not only our names and my husband's, but also the name of our younger daughter, making us feel instantly welcome. This welcoming spirit was so infectious that our three-year-old daughter has now eagerly started her own jiu-jitsu journey. Watching the instructors guide these tiny students with such heartwarming dedication is a testament to their passion for what they do. This environment of encouragement and camaraderie eventually inspired my husband to join and become a part of the family. It has been a period of growing, exploring, and stepping out of comfort zones for all of us. For our family, Gracie Barra Oxnard has become a second home a place where we are challenged, supported, and celebrated. We are not just members of a gym; we are part of the Gracie Barra family, and we couldn't be more grateful for the positive impact they have had on our lives."

"My son has been going to Gracie Barra since they open and there’s nothing but good things to say. The professors and coaches are all incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. I can’t emphasize how patient the coaches are, specially with their little ones. So if you’re looking for a great place for your little ones to train and make you feel like family then Gracie Barra Oxnard it is."

"couldn't be happier with the experience. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about teaching. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced grappler, you'll find the instruction here to be clear, effective, and encouraging. The atmosphere is one of the best parts — friendly, respectful, and ego-free. Everyone is there to learn and help each other improve. It’s a great mix of technical drilling, live rolling, and conditioning. The facility is clean and well-maintained, with plenty of mat space and a strong focus on safety and hygiene.
