Posted 11 months agoJust recently did a drop in here for the all levels class in the morning. Got a dose of everything from self defense including drilling the double leg takedown to drilling techniques for competition jiu jitsu (with a few techniques that I will keep in my arsenal). The class structure was a quick warm up, self defense, sport jiu jitsu, and sparring. I dont do self defense at my home academy but I love that Gracie barra still holds onto their tradition of integrating Jiu jitsu with self defense and not just competition jiu jitsu alone so every student can apply jiu jitsu in the real world as well as in competition. The upper belts here are tough and very competitive. I got a 4-5 rounds of hard rolls in and I was completely drained and drenched in sweat after. for the white belts, its only three stripe and above to roll here. Overall, Good techniques, Very useful Self defense, competitve rolls, and a very good workout. I will drop in again.
Posted 11 months agoOur daughter has attended Gracie Barra - Irvine for 1.5 years. We absolutely love it! I cannot say enough good things about the staff here. The professors/coaches are all so wonderful with the kids. They truly have a profound way of connecting with the kids and motivating them to work HARD. They excel at teaching the kids pretty advanced techniques and are quick to notice if a student needs some tips or adjustments. I am shocked at how these young kids are able to perform such technical moves thanks to the instruction they receive here. Highly recommend this jiujitsu school! We also love the flexibility of being able to come any 2 days a week that we choose and not having to commit to any particular day. That helps a ton with busy schedules!
