  Oct 6 2026 -If you can get to the earliest times it is less busy which means your child gets more attention and does not play around too much. Learning through play has increased according to the research they did. The after care program is helpful and some schools are on the pick up list and some are not. Ours unfortunately were not. Black belt professor Andrea was great but has moved to another location a year or more ago. Professor Chad has been great and is great with the kids. Coach Curtis is great with the kids. Thank you for your service. May 14 2026- What an amazing team this location has. Their passion for BJJ shows in how they instruct their students. Just wanted to say thank you for making such a difference for all the kids and youth you serve. Please commend Jedrick & Curtis along with the volunteers that support them for their passion and teaching style. They individualize the program for each student and adapt to their learning style. They are so good with kids and I highly recommend trying out Jiu-jitsu- it really is for everyone! Please note your contract and also note policy when it comes time to pause or cancel service. Birthdays are more of a marketing tactic and should not cost so much in my opinion. Great place for kids to learn and after care for children. Great coaches, great staff. Great place to learn Jiu-jitsu at ages as early as 3 and 4 years old. May 19 2025- Remembering a true friend and master of the art today. Love the coaches and professionals that make this place work. It is getting a little packed on some days with kids and I notice that many are falling through gaps in their learning. It worked well when you folks would have volunteers from the older kid groups to make it more efficient and learning is enhanced. Cheers October 31 2024- they always do something safe and fun for the kids. So if your tired of the same old. Come on down! October 11, 2024: Impressive. What a great martial art that has improved our kids overall character and performance multiple areas of life. These Coaches and Professor's along with management and all staff that make this organization operate are just amazing individuals working as a team for our children and youth. We thank you, we appreciate you, and we commend you for all your efforts. We have noticed nothing but positive growth in our kids lives. Thank you for all that you do. February 28, 2023: we have observed drastic improvements in all skills learned here. Self-confidence, leadership skills, strength, respect, honor, and reaching goals are actively being achieved. Staff are hands on and extremely patient yet gracious when training young kids and youth. Improvements in concentration and listening skills have also been drastic improvements in all the students here. It's really amazing to watch these students improve over short amounts of time. We are very pleased with what Professor Andrea and the other amazing staff have accomplished with all of their students. What an exciting martial art and sport for all ages. It's never too late to learn and it's a great work-out. There are always events and competitions being held. Very impressed with this establishment and how it is being managed. I recommend this place to anyone interested in personal growth and comradery. This place is the best jujitzu hands down. They have great instructors and so many options for you or your offspring. They even have an after school program where they pick kids up from school and take them to practice. They also plan field trips and hold other community events. If your travel you are allowed to enter any Gracie Barra to train so you never miss a day!

  My kid has been training at Gracie Barra Burnaby for a year and a half, and we truly have nothing but positive things to say about the entire team. Coach Jedrek is an exceptional instructor who teaches much more than just jiu-jitsu,he teaches discipline, respect, confidence, and the right mindset both on and off the mats. What really stands out is how much he genuinely cares about every child’s development. He takes the time to evaluate my kid’s performance, explain the areas that need improvement, and also recognize the areas where my child is doing well. That kind of attention, encouragement, and mentorship means a lot to parents. The atmosphere at GB Burnaby is amazing,supportive coaches, welcoming teammates, and a strong sense of community. It’s been incredible seeing my child grow not only in jiu-jitsu skills, but also in character and confidence. Highly recommend Gracie Barra Burnaby to any parent looking for a positive and professional environment for their kids.

  Coach Jedrick and Coach Curtis run an outstanding Saturday parent-and-child jiu jitsu class. Their focus on discipline, the variety of new exercises, and the fun, energetic way the class is taught keep both kids and parents fully engaged every week. Coach Jedrick is highly disciplined and teaches respect, self‑care, and self‑defence to the kids, always coming up with new, fun exercises. Coach Curtis is kind and gentle but encouraging and has an amazing sense of humour, which makes the class even more enjoyable. What stands out most is how much respect and confidence the kids build, on top of the practical self‑defence skills they learn. Coach Jedrick always takes time to talk to the children and regularly checks in with parents so everyone can work together to support the kids. That level of care is rare and genuinely appreciated, and coaches like Jedrick and Curtis are exactly why families stay loyal to a gym. For our family, these coaches are the reason we look forward to coming every week, and we can’t imagine the gym without them.

  Coach Jedrek has been an absolute game-changer for my two boys! His dedication, positivity, and genuine passion for coaching have had a profound impact on their development—both on and off the field. From the very first practice, Coach Jedrek created an environment that was both challenging and incredibly supportive, helping my boys build not just their athletic skills, but also their confidence and character. He goes above and beyond to make every player feel valued, always taking the time to offer encouragement, constructive feedback, and a listening ear. My boys look forward to every practice and game, inspired by Coach Jedrek’s energy, expertise, and unwavering belief in their potential. The growth I’ve seen in them—their teamwork, discipline, and love for the sport—is a direct result of his outstanding leadership. We are so grateful for everything Coach Jedrek has done. If you’re looking for a coach who truly cares and makes a real difference, you won’t find anyone better. Thank you, Coach Jedrek, for being such a positive influence in our lives!
