    I had the opportunity to drop into the 11am class this morning and had a great time. The team at Gracie Barra was welcoming and professional and the gym itself was clean with lots of space. Rolling with their team was a blast and learned a lot. Thanks again guys :-)

    When I first joined GB Hayden, I thought I was going to do this for 6 months, get in shape learn self defense and maybe meet a couple of friends. A year and a half later I am still here, not going anywhere and in love with the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The confidence I have gained is priceless not to mention a place where I belong and we have a TRIBE of women and young girls who are absolutely amazing and each bring something different to the table. For some this gym tuns into a home away from home and others have a welcoming environment to come and learn world class BJJ from instructors who really care about each person and their jiu jitsu journey.

    I was looking for a jui jitsu gym with a good kids program for my son when he was 7. I wanted him to build some self confidence, resilience, and learn self defense skills that will stay with him for life. Gracie Barra Hayden was the perfect place. Owned by a great family and an overall great atmosphere. I then got my youngest into classes. Watching all their practices gave me the itch! Having wrestled in highschool a little, dabbled in judo and jui jitsu around 19 or 20 y/o it’s only natural. I wasn’t sure how my knee would hold up after 3 knee surgeries and being in my late 30’s. I asked the owners if I could give it a go for a week and see how my knee does. It’s now 16 months and a blue belt later and I’m still plugging along growing more and more every year technically and as a person. The biggest benefit is that Gracie Barra Hayden has become a part of our family. My kids have made good friends, I have made friends and the sense of community is something that was missing for me. We hang out after class, we have bbq’s at the gym, we have potlucks and UFC fight nights, they have date nights for parents to drop the kids off and go out for a couple hours, we do lake days together, the owners set up a camping/lake trip for the school and the list goes on. We have people from all walks of life from Doctors, Nurses, Electricians, Plumbers, Mechanics, Cops, to stay at home moms. We all help each other out one way or another. One of our guys changed out a driveshaft in the parking lot for another to help him out! Another benefit is that within a relatively short distance there are 2 other Gracie Barra schools in Spokane. You can mix it up by going to those gyms and sparring/learning with a whole different set of coaches and belt levels. Professor Markus in the valley and Professor Maeda (yes related to THAT Maeda) in north Spokane are top notch black belts and all around great guys. If you travel a lot, there are a ton of schools nationally and internationally. You just bring your gi and are welcomed on the mat like family. I went to visit my parents in Colorado last year and popped into a GB gym in Colorado Springs for a class. It was a great experience. Another guy I roll with went to Italy and popped in a class in Italy and in Spain. I can’t say enough good things about Gracie Barra Hayden and the Gracie Barra family in general. Thank you for everything!

    I can't say enough great things about Gracie Barra Hayden! The kids' Jiu-Jitsu program is absolutely top-notch. The instructors are not only highly skilled but also amazing with the kids. They create a positive and supportive environment where children feel encouraged to learn and grow. The classes are well-structured, teaching discipline, respect, and valuable life skills while having fun. My child has gained so much confidence, improved physically, and made great friends along the way. The facility is clean, welcoming, and has a fantastic atmosphere. Highly recommend Gracie Barra Hayden for any child interested in Jiu-Jitsu!
