Gracie Barra Jacksonville

GB Jacksonville is a great place for kids and adults! You don’t just get in a workout and learn self-defense. You make friends.

Coach Dean does an amazing job teaching kids jiujitsu, while instilling discipline and respect in them. And all of the kids’ coaches keep it fun and patiently work with the kids to help them develop and grow.

Professor Juan and Professor Justin don’t just explain how to do a move but when and why you may want to use it. The whole GB Jacksonville team wants to see everyone learn and succeed. I couldn’t recommend this business enough if you’re looking for a place to learn jiujitsu or self-defense.

This is a great place to train at. The instructors are great at explaining everything. If you have any questions they are more than willing to help you out. They definitely deserve 5 stars.

Was nervous to start, but coaches and training partners have been patient and welcoming. A great workout too.

Very welcoming school, would highly recommend to anyone who wants to try bjj for the first time.

I started training a 5 years ago and it’s been worth it. I’m pushing on 50 years old and I must say these guys are real professionals. If your my age and you want to train I highly recommend this school. You’ll definitely learn a lot. You’ll feel more confident. Most importantly you’ll feel better.

Signed up at Gracie Barra this week and I'm liking it so far. Jiu Jitsu is a lifestyle and takes a lot to learn but I'm sure it's going to be a good journey and based on the trainers and their system here I will be well guided the entire ride.

Gracie Barra is an incredible gym for all ages to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Classes are well-structured with knowledgeable instructors focused on teaching effective techniques in a safe-environment. Advanced classes are available to more advanced practitioners that want to push themselves harder and learn more complex concepts. Joining GB Jacksonville has been one of the best decisions that I have ever made.

Visiting from out of town and was able to take a class. Everyone was very nice and was able to get some training in while on vacation. I would recommend for anyone in the Jacksonville area.

I have been wrestling for most of my life, and I have long wanted to join a gym to learn the craft of Jiu Jitsu. Through my time here so far I have been welcomed into a house built on respect for each other and a culture of martial excellence. All of the instructors have given me the attention I needed to excel in this craft and I could not be more happy with my experience.

Amazing facility! Amazing professor! Get some work in and become great! Osuuu!

Anytime I’m in Jax this is my place!

Love this gym. Dropped in a few times, my cousin trains here. The mat space phenomenal. And professor Juan is down to earth and an amazing instructor.

Hands down, one of the best BJJ training gyms I’ve been to. Facility is exceptionally clean and large enough for big classes. Professors and coaches are extremely helpful and encouraging to both new and experienced students. Although I split time training in New York and Florida, I always look forward to coming back to Gracie Barra Jacksonville.

Took my two daughters who train in GB Long Beach while we were in town, super welcoming from Professor Juan and Cory. Beautiful facility, great kids program. My girls had fun taking their Saturday morning class on our visit. Coaches, staff, students and parents at this location are friendly and welcoming. I would recommend this bjj location if you're in the area of Jacksonville. Thanks so much!

The workout is second to none. The instructors are patient, kind and set an amazing example for children and adults alike. My two sons and I have been training here for a few years and we love it. Great self defense techniques in a safe, enjoyable environment. If you have ever thought about trying this, you owe it to yourself to give it a try. I bet you will love it. Hope to see you on the mat!
