  I’ve been training for 11 months at Gracie Barra Dundee and it’s been an incredible experience so far. A very welcoming place, from team mates to all the coaches , and it’s been a real game changer in terms of living a much healthier lifestyle. Every session you come away wanting to better yourself and wanting more BJJ. I’ve also got two of my kids involved now also and they love it as much as me. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

  When it comes to starting a martial art, it can be daunting, especially if you're overweight/unfit. From the minute I've walked in to GB Dundee, I've been made to feel more than welcome and supported all the way. There's a positive atmosphere that really encourages the best out of you whilst also maintaining that interest in a such an interesting complex martial art. The facilities are flawless, you'd struggle to find a problem with them as they're always kept to a high sanitary standard! The timetable is so accommodating to your lifestyle/work schedule that makes it so easy to attend the classes without feeling like you're sacrificing things to fit around the class. I started on the beginner block with professor Val and it was the introduction that had me hooked, anything myself or others in the class wanted to know more about, he explained with great detail and demonstration. He has always been approachable and maintained a professional level when teaching the class but also been friendly where you really do get the most amount of information in the funnest way possible. I can honestly say that I've enjoyed every class I have been to meeting new people, building fitness level and learning the martial art. When it comes to #BJJDundee, Gracie Barra is the right place to start that journey!
