My son absolutely loves training here and looks forward to every single session. The instructors are incredibly friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. I especially appreciate how they tailor the training to his exact skill level and pace, making sure he learns safely while building real confidence and strength. Seeing him enjoy Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu this much is fantastic. Highly recommended for any parent!
My 5-year-old loves Gracie Barra Kitsilano! The instructors are patient and engaging, creating a fun, confidence-building environment. The school pick-up and drop-off service is a huge help, and the picture updates keep me connected to her progress. Highly recommend!
Very lucky to have this place in our community. Everyone is warm and welcoming from the front desk to the coaches and owner. Classes are inclusive and adaptable to all skill levels. Great place to hang out and connect or learn some skills and get a sweat on!
I’ve been training in jiu-jitsu for five years, and I can honestly say this school feels like home. From the moment you step through the doors, you’re welcomed by Laiane and Vinny, who make sure you’re taken care of right away. The environment is warm, inviting, and most importantly a safe space for everyone.
People of all ages and backgrounds are welcome. Children, teens, women, and men all train here side by side. The head coaches, Jack and Jinsoo, bring a wealth of knowledge and experience, guiding each student with patience and care. Their instruction is top-notch, but what truly sets this school apart is the family-like atmosphere they have built.
Training here isn’t just about learning jiu-jitsu, it’s about being part of a community that supports, respects, and lifts each other up.
Such a great BJJ school with top class instruction and lots of great training partners. Something for everyone as it is welcoming to beginners but also lots of upper belts. Always tough rolls but everyone super nice and friendly.
I like it here a lot: clean place, great schedule, great teachers and the atmosphere is fantastic. I came back after many many years to the sport, and the club has been supportive, friendly and lots of good people to learn from. The instructors are phenomenal and so are the classmates. Higher belts always help me out, so it’s easier to keep motivated.
Great martial arts studio and high level BJJ.
The Coaches/Instructors are great, caring and create an inclusive space for people of all levels (from those who are beginners to the most advanced black belts) to thrive. It's amazing watching people who only recently joined the gym gain confidence in their skills and life in general. The services provided by the Team at Gracie Barra are fantastic and I highly recommend dropping by their Kits location.
Great place to train, to learn, to enjoy the great community. Coaches and Professors are knowledgeable, professional, fun, and delivering great classes for anyone. On top of that, Gracie Barra Kitsilano provides ultimate safest place for children to train and to learn jiu-jitsu techniques. My 2 boys and I train here! Great place to learn self defense, self awareness, and bonding with team mates create a long term brotherhood/sisterhood.
Gracie Barra is a wonderful gym and community. My son Carmen is in the after-school care program and absolutely loves going to class. He has made many friends through the Gracie Barra community.
The instructors are very knowledgeable and humble while the environment is welcoming.
Jiujitsu makes me happy every time I go. 5 glowing stars.
