Gabi M2024-10-10I was visiting from the Seattle gym, and I couldn’t have had a better experience at the San Diego location! The professors are incredibly knowledgeable and made me feel right at home. The facility is clean, spacious, and the classes are well structured. Everyone is welcoming and supportive. Whether you’re local or just visiting like me, this gym is a fantastic place to train and improve your Jiu-Jitsu. Highly recommend it to anyone! Oss!Kraig Howard2024-05-10Awesome gym, even better people! I recently visited from some distance away, was very cool to see Professor Ale teaching the same curriculum I practiced the night before at my home academy.Louise Angelberthe Abundo2023-08-29My boyfriend and I visited Gracie Barra San Diego all the way from Chicago, IL! We had an amazing session with Prof. Ale, Prof. Leticia, and Prof. Matt. They were all very friendly and accommodating, and we met a lot of awesome people there. Will definitely be coming back when we’re back in town!Simone Mastrota2023-07-25Great spot overall! The professors are really good and open to help you . The classes are pretty much at any time of the day. Super relaxed and competitive enough attitude between all the studentsRex Brunner2023-04-26Professor Ale, Luca, and Leticia make this Jiu-jitsu program world class. Started my son just before he turned 4 in their tiny champions Jiu-jitsu training. They are welcoming, knowledgeable, natural born teachers, and do a phenomenal job explaining technique in a way the kids absorb, incorporating the importance of self discipline, respect, and attitude, and integrating fun games to break up the pace and help kids burn energy in a healthy team environment. There couldn’t be a better program or group of individuals for my son to be around. Stoked! OssssNiki R2023-04-14I love the fact that they do muay thai and boxing along with BJJ, I first went with my friend ethan, and I really loved it. It boosted my confidence and my skills in 3 different martial arts. It's great stats for the cost, too. Thanks, Professor Ogawa
We offer a wide range of adult Jiu-Jitsu classes so students can choose the class that best suits their needs. We have three tiers of classes that address varying degrees of skill and knowledge.
Jiu-Jitsu classes for children begin with the building blocks that are needed to teach the fundamentals of Jiu-Jitsu. We have developed a curriculum that is structured in a way that shows children and teens the value of routine, cooperation and self-awareness.
Carlos Gracie Jr
Carlos Gracie Jr. was born on January 17, 1956, and grew up under the strong influence of his family of fighters. In sync with the life philosophy and teachings of his father, Carlos Gracie Sr., Carlinhos – as he is called by friends and relatives – observed and learned from some of the most influential figures in the Gracie family of all time: Carlos Gracie, Helio Gracie, and his brother Rolls Gracie. The most significant years of his childhood and adolescence were spent in the mountains of Rio de Janeiro, in the legendary house of Teresópolis – a ranch with dozens of rooms where the children of Carlos Gracie and Helio Gracie lived and trained together for years. It was there that Carlos Gracie Jr. learned to live in a community where everyone needed to coexist, share things, and learn from each other, a life dynamic that became an ideal for him. In many ways, Master Carlos Gracie Jr. seems to replicate this idea of community on a large scale today at Gracie Barra. That environment and the philosophy that came from it shaped his personality and, for many, was one of the ingredients that led him to achieve such great success in different professional fields.
