"Training at Gracie Barra West Anaheim has been incredible, especially under the new management. Couch Heverson is expertise in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and he has a remarkable ability to break down complex techniques into easy-to-understand steps. He is patient, encouraging, and truly cares about the progress of each student.

"Been training here for over a year now and it's been great! Super chill environment, no egos, everyone is willing to help each other get better. I've visited a couple of other spots (10th planet, MMA gyms, etc) and honestly this place just feels like home. I started at 39 years old and this was the perfect environment for me to get started at this age. Coach Heverson is an excellent coach and takes his time to show you all the moves with patience. I would recommend this gym to anyone interested in starting their BJJ journey."
