Nice gym with friendly instructors and sparring partners. Joining Gracie Barra Mount Lawley was really a good choice for me as beginner. As everyone is welcoming, supportive and patient makes me feel more confident and easier to learn something new.
We’ve noticed such a huge positive change in our child since starting classes here. His focus, and ability to listen have really improved, and he absolutely loves coming to class. The coaches are great with the kids and create a really positive and encouraging environment. We’re really happy we decided to give it a go and would definitely recommend Gracie Barra Mount Lawley to any parents looking for a great activity for their young kids.
I was in Perth for a few days and decided to drop by Gracie Barra Mount Lawley for both the gi and no gi classes. The environment is very welcoming and the mats are spacious and very clean. Special thanks to Professor Mohamed on sharing details on pressure passing and the deep half. Would love to be back again and recommend everyone to check out this gym!
Made the trip out to Perth to spend a week training at Gracie Barra Mount Lawley, and to say it was an experience is an understatement.
It is an extremely welcoming academy rooted in respect and integrity. The professors bring years of experience, and their attention to detail when breaking down techniques is truly commendable.
Their passion for jiu-jitsu is clearly demonstrated through the unified weekly class structure, displaying a high level of organisation and complete professionalism.
What truly sets this academy apart for me was seeing how genuinely involved every student felt. The professors have evidently taken the time to understand each student’s strengths and weaknesses, tailoring specific guidance to allow everyone to grow together effectively.
Thank you to all the professors and students for welcoming me the way you did, it is truly appreciated. Extremely high-level jiu-jitsu and would recommend to anyone in Perth or passing by. Not only for the self defense/fitness aspect but for a community that will understand you and help build you into an individual you can be proud of.
Gracie Barra Mount Lawley delivers an exceptional Jiu‑Jitsu experience. The coaching team is highly skilled, patient, and genuinely invested in every student’s progress. The academy is clean, well‑run, and maintains a strong focus on safety and technique. The culture is welcoming and inclusive, making it easy to feel part of the team from day one. With a consistent 5‑star reputation and a strong community behind it, this is one of the best martial arts schools in Perth.
Joining this gym was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The level of instruction is exceptional. All the coaches are extremely knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping every student improve, regardless of experience level.
The environment is what makes this place truly special. Everyone is respectful, supportive, and pushes each other to grow. It’s competitive in the best way possible, but also very welcoming and ego-free. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced practitioner, you feel like you belong here.
The attention to detail in the teaching, the quality of training partners, and the overall culture are second to none. I’ve improved more here than I ever thought possible, not only in my jiujitsu but also in my discipline and confidence.
This is more than just a gym, it’s a community. I’m extremely grateful to be part of it and couldn’t recommend it more highly.
Amazing BJJ school with a truly supportive and welcoming atmosphere! The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and patient. Specifically Prof Teco who has a way in breaking down techniques into fundamental concepts clearly for both beginners and experienced practitioners.
What really stands out is how encouraging the whole team is—everyone helps each other grow and improve. Perfect place to start or continue your BJJ journey!
Gracie Barra is definitely the place to train Jiu-Jitsu.
With over 25 years of experience on the mats, including many years as a black belt and former Jiu-Jitsu academy owner. I’ve dedicated most of my life to this art. After running my own school, I made the decision to step away from business ownership and return to what I love most: training and learning.
At this stage in my journey, with some physical limitations due to past injuries, surgery, and age, finding a supportive environment was essential. The entire Gracie Barra team has been incredibly understanding and helpful, always making sure I can train safely while still pushing myself and continuing to grow.
Knowing Professor Mohamed personally for many years, I was confident that Gracie Barra would meet the high standards I was looking for, and it has exceeded them. The coaching team is exceptionally skilled, and what stands out is how each coach brings their own unique teaching style, combined with the Gracie Barra learning methodology. This creates a dynamic and enriching environment that makes every session truly worthwhile.
If you’re looking for high-quality Jiu-Jitsu instruction in a professional, welcoming, and supportive atmosphere, Gracie Barra is the place to be.
8 months ago, my kids, now 9 and 11, did a trial lesson and joined Gracie Barra Mt Lawley. 3 weeks later, after watching the great teaching, lessons and atmosphere, I did a trial lesson and joined too. At 47 years old. 8 months later I have lost 17kg, feel lighter, fitter and more confident in many aspects of my life.
There are many great aspects to Gracie Barra; the Professors, the rolling cycle of curriculum, the academy culture and the flexible schedule for training. I especially enjoy seeing how respectful the kids become.
My kids enjoy the way the physical warm ups and positional training are played as games that encourage teamwork and fun. My daughter especially loves that she gets to spar using the technique she just learned. My son especially enjoys learning from the different Professors and coaches. Both my children are more confident within themselves, fitter and more active at home, as well as having something we all have in common.
I joined because I enjoy watching a Master teach. The Professors (black belts) at Gracie Barra have years of practical experience, deep knowledge and well expressed passion for Jiu Jitsu. Over the years, I have learned from and competed nationally with award winning singers and musicians and Gracie Barra Mt Lawley really has that high quality performance level in the teaching, curriculum and culture.
After a while, I realised that all the upper belts I roll with are generous and effective teachers too. The Professors encourage giving each other feedback and work at developing confident and effective leaders and teachers, as well as high quality Jiu Jitsu players.
I have had a number of congratulations from upper belts who recognise that the earliest stripes on your belt represent challenges and changes in your personal life as well as Jiu Jitsu development and dedication.
The curriculum rolls through a 16 week cycle, so you thoroughly become immersed in the content and become more and more effective at learning and practising as you go.
I was concerned before I joined about my fitness and potential injury. I researched a number of over 50 Jiu Jitsu players YT channels and found strategies for fitness and negotiating with rolling partners. It really has been a great social and wellbeing experience. I haven't had an injury, and am far fitter than I have been in a long time.
Jiu Jitsu has given me an easy motivational reason to change my diet and lifestyle and has been excellent for creating a new aspect of tighter and meaningful connection with my kids.
I definitely recommend booking a trial lesson, or even just making a time to come in to watch a lesson for you, your partner or your kids. Professors Mohamed, Leah, Mathias, Teco, as well as Amanda and coaches Danny and Marco at Gracie Barra Mt lawley are welcoming, thoughtful, friendly and get to know you well. See you on the mat!

I have been training here for just under 2 years now and I could not be happier! Whether you want simply learn Jiu Jitsu or seriously consider to compete, you will find your place here. The team and coaches are super friendly, making sure that everyone is feeling welcome here. There is a true sense of community. The wealth of knowledge is outstanding as there is so much to learn from different blackbelts and coaches from different backgrounds and different games and styles. If you are considering to try Jiu Jitsu for the firs time, this is the best place to do it. If you've been training for sometime and looking for a new gym, look no further.
Joining this gym has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and patient, and they make every class both challenging and fun. The other students are awesome and create such a welcoming and supportive vibe. I’ve seen massive improvements in my skills and confidence since I started. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned competitor, this gym is for you. Can’t recommend it enough!
