Our 7 year old son has been training jujitsu here for almost a year now & he’s loved it since the first class! Coach Chase is so respectful - he’s set such a welcoming tone for everyone in the gym. He greets all the kids by name, encourages hard work & discipline, while keeping it fun & engaging for the kids. Coach Stephan’s “king of the mat” game is also a fan favourite of ours. We look forward to continuing to train with the Bairro team!
"If you're looking for a great jiu-jitsu gym where your child can get in great shape and build confidence sparring with kids their own age, I highly recommend checking this place out. My son has been training here for nearly a year, and he absolutely loves it. The coaching staff is great they place a strong emphasis on technique, safety, and respecting training partners. Coach Chase is incredible with the kids my son always looks forward to his classes!"
We absolutely love this place! My 4 year old daughter asks to go to jiujitsu every single day. In just her second month in the tots class, she has already learned so much and genuinely looks forward to every class. Professor Chase is an amazing coach who is honestly so incredible with kids, his passion for teaching definitely shows! The communication and vibes here is outstanding. From our initial free trial, Chase responded almost instantly to get us booked. On our first day, Elise welcomed us with her warm, friendly smile. Both Chase and Elise always treats everyone with respect and equality. The environment is entirely judgment-free and welcoming for students and parents. A massive bonus for me is the seating area. Unlike many recreational programs with limited space that don't allow parents to stay and watch, Bairro has benches (and floor mats for additional seating if it's busy) so we can watch our kids train. I also love their flexible, no-obligation policy. As a mom of three, being able to attend as many or as few classes as our schedule allows without being locked into a rigid commitment—is a lifesaver. Keep up the amazing work, Bairro team! I will continue to recommend you to everyone!
Great environment! Very organized, affordable, and great instruction! I highly recommend 😊 My daughter felt welcomed here from day 1!
Our son has recently started classes for Jiu Jitsu and he is absolutely loving it! He asks to go to his classes all the time. So far he has worked with Chase and Stephan, they are both so wonderful with him. (Especially since hes only 4 years old and easily distracted or just sometimes doesnt understand what they are asking of him). Truly a wonderful place to send your kids.
We have had such an amazing experience with Barrio Martial Arts! Watching my son's confidence grow and seeing how much he enjoys being on the mat has been incredible. The patience, understanding, and dedication the coaches show the kids is truly unmatched. They create an environment where children feel supported, encouraged, and safe to learn at their own pace. The coaches do an amazing job balancing structure with fun, and you can tell they genuinely care about every child who walks through the doors. We are so grateful to be part of the Barrio Martial Arts community and excited to see my son continue to grow in the next classes!
My son has been attending jiujitsu classes at Bairro for the past 9 months and myself and my other son have recently started the kickboxing classes. Chase, Stefan, and rest of the Bairro coaches are all extremely skilled and very encouraging. My family has experienced first hand that regardless of your age, fitness level, or skill, everyone is welcome. I would 100 percent recommend Bairro to anyone!
i’m in my first two weeks at Bairro martial arts and so far really enjoying the classes. The smaller class sizes allow for more detail in my training and i have been getting a lot of good pointers from David and Chase. highly recommend over some of the more busy gyms where instructors focus on some students more than others! Great environment.
It’s been many years since practising martial arts and I think about rejoining every year. Finally I decided to take the jump as Bairro was recommended heavily to me. After my first trial class, I found out why. The group is great! The atmosphere is awesome. Coach David and coach Chase are both excellent. They are extremely knowledgeable and very personable. Definitely a great group of guys. Well worth it 10/10 recommend
