Amazing school, supportive crowd, clean facility. Just a wonderful place and vibe! 5 stars easily!
Both my daughter and son go to Gracie Barra Guildford and they absolutely love it. They’re always excited when it’s jiu-jitsu day. The coaches and staff are great with the kids and really put effort into teaching more than just jiu-jitsu. They focus a lot on respect, discipline, confidence, and good values, which we really appreciate as parents. It’s a very positive and welcoming environment, and we’ve had nothing but a great experience here. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get their kids into jiu-jitsu.
Gracie Barra is one of the best decisions I have ever made for my kids. The coaches are all amazing , they genuinely care about each student and uplift confidence in each child. They are patient and ensure everyone is not only learning but enjoying each class. My daughter has always been so shy and quiet, the amount of confidence I have seen in her since she has started, is worth every penny! I have also done my research and they have the most affordable plans, they have after school programs and always have fun events for the kids and adults! Great place, they really make you feel like your apart of a great team. My kids love love it!
5/5 Stars – A Family Game-Changer at Gracie Barra Guildford My daughter started at Gracie Barra Guildford March of last year and loved it immediately—the kids’ program is fun, structured, and teaches real technique while boosting confidence and respect. My daughter was able to compete and received a gold medal with her training. Special thanks to our awesome coaches Gabriel, Rodrigo and Gustavo. And professor Daniel. These coaches a great guys who are skilled, patient, and dedicated to the students improving their jiu jitsu game. Inspired by my daughter’s progress and achievements, I also joined jiu jitsu with a few of my co workers and friends. As a healthcare professional and a dad in my 40’s, life is busy. I’ve grown to like Brazilian jiu jitsu with the guidance of our coaches. To add it is addicting. Jiu jitsu has improved my confidence, health and focus in a safe environment. I was able to lose 30 pounds in the process and eat healthier. The adult GB1 fundamental and GB2 advanced classes are top-notch, and we’ve made so many new friends in this welcoming community. Recently my son joined and he loves it too! Jiu-Jitsu has become our family’s shared passion, strengthening our bonds and creating great memories. The gym is clean and the atmosphere is positive and ego-free. Gracie Barra Guildford is the place! Highly recommend! 🥋👊
My 12-year-old son’s confidence has improved tremendously, and I can really see the positive impact the classes have had on him. The professors gives genuine attention to every student, beginners and those who have been training for a while, which is something rare to find. The environment is supportive and truly focused on self-development. Even watching the classes is a pleasure, especially when someone you love is growing with happiness in such a safe environment. I highly recommend this place! Book a trial; I’m pretty sure you’ll feel the same.
The entire coaching staff creates an amazing environment to learn. They are passionate about teaching, detail-oriented, and genuinely care about each student's progression. Instruction is top-notch, with techniques that build on each other to develop a real understanding of the art. The supportive atmosphere makes even complete beginners feel welcome and comfortable. The school’s culture is fantastic. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and eager to help you learn. It's inspiring to be surrounded by such dedicated and supportive teammates. The journey of learning this art has had a positive impact on other areas of my life, fostering patience and a stronger mind-body connection.
My son has always been the shy kid, but ever since he joined Gracie Guildford, his confidence has really started to grow. In just a few months, he’s picked up new skills and actually looks forward to going every week! Coach Gabe and Coach Rodrigo are amazing. They’re so kind, patient, and they always make the class fun. They even remembered his birthday, which totally made his day! And Lorena is always happy when we see her and quick to respond whenever we have questions. We’re so glad we found Gracie Guildford. Can’t recommend them enough!

Edit: Experience about the after school program. I recently enrolled my daughter in the after-school program, and she absolutely loves it! The pick-up and drop-off service is so convenient and makes our evenings so much smoother. I also really appreciate the app they use, it’s phenomenal! Being able to see photos, videos, and even the approximate drop-off time gives me such peace of mind. As a parent, it can be hard to trust someone else to take care of your child, especially for extracurricular activities where I’m not there to pick her up myself. But this program has truly earned my trust. Thank you to the entire team for taking such great care of my daughter! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This Jiu Jitsu academy deserves every one of its 5 stars! From the moment I inquired about classes for my daughter, the experience has been nothing short of amazing. Lorena was incredibly helpful and welcoming, she guided me through every step, from trial class details to pricing, making it easy to understand even for someone like me with no background in martial arts. Coach Gabe is absolutely phenomenal. My daughter adores him, and I can see why, his patience, attentiveness, and ability to connect with the kids is unmatched. Coach Rodrigo, along with assistants Aula and Justin, are equally amazing. They all create such a positive, supportive, and fun learning environment for the children. My daughter couldn’t be more excited about her pink Gi, it’s adorable and makes her feel like a real Jiu Jitsu champ! Watching her grow in confidence and skill has been so rewarding, and it’s thanks to this incredible team. I’ve already recommended this place to a few friends, and I will continue to do so. If you’re looking for a welcoming, professional, and kid-friendly Jiu Jitsu academy, this is the place! When my schedule with the kids calms down, I plan to join myself. I truly believe that learning this skill is incredibly valuable.

We tried other location before , but DEFINITELY GB Guildford is THE BEST. My 11y daughter really LOVE to go for jiu-jitsu class. She feels very welcome, safe and at home what encouraged her to keeping doing jiu jitsu after 1 year stopped. Coach Gaby was patient and sensitive with her adaptation after a trauma in the past . All coaches are great and dedicated creating a great community . I strongly recommend this place if you are looking for self defense classes for your kids.
