At 34, I wanted something more community-focused than a typical gym, and I’m happy I found Gracie Barra North Salt Lake. I showed up out of shape and brand new to jiu-jitsu, and Professor Mark made me feel welcome from day one. His instruction is excellent—he breaks techniques down clearly and makes sure everyone understands what we’re doing. The culture is supportive and respectful, and you can tell people actually want each other to improve. There’s a great balance here for people who want to train casually or compete. After about 6 months of training, I competed in my first tournament—something I honestly never planned on doing—and I’m now down 10 lbs and building better fitness. The facility is clean and well-run, and there’s a space for kids, which is a lifesaver on days when I need to bring mine. My daughters train here now too, and Professor Mark is great with the kids. I love that they’re learning self-defense and building confidence to do hard things. If you’re thinking about trying BJJ, any martial art, or just looking to improve your health, I highly recommend Professor Mark and this school.

Professor Fonte has created something truly special at this Jiu-Jitsu gym. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and supported, no matter your experience level. The atmosphere is friendly, respectful, and motivating — a perfect place to learn and grow. Professor Fonte is not just an incredible instructor with deep knowledge of the art; he’s also one of the most caring and patient coaches you’ll ever meet. He takes time with every student, breaking down techniques in a way that’s easy to understand, all while throwing in some top-tier dad jokes that keep the vibe light and fun. 😄 Training here has not only improved my skills on the mat but also given me a community I genuinely look forward to being part of each week. If you’re looking for a place to train hard, learn a lot, and laugh along the way, this is the gym for you. Highly recommend!

I’ve been to plenty of Jiu Jitsu schools and Gracie Barra north salt lake is one of the better ones. Lots of mat space. I loved the class I attended. Professor Mark and Moura were very knowledgeable, personable, and professional. I hope to come back next time I’m in town

We’ve been coming for the kids and family classes since day 1 of the North Salt Lake opening with Professor Mark. Soon Professor Abe joined the instructors for my kids, and now I’m not sure who they like better because they respect and love both of their teachers tremendously. Both of them are fabulous with kids. My 3 kids (6, 5 and 3 years old) all participate regularly 3+ times per week and we love the flexibility of the membership to come when it fits in with our schedule each week. BJJ is a life long practice full of safety skills, physical training and so so much play and fun. We couldn’t recommend this place more!

GB North Salt Lake! The best Jiu Jitsu, amazing instruction/owner, 5 star lineage!!!
Professor Mark is full of wisdom! I’ve seen his instructional ethos in action and watched his students demonstrate the techniques they learned with such mastery that they could explain to me - a complete novice - what they’d been taught. I’d recommend his tutelage to any student who wants to build a solid foundation with a trustworthy teacher.
Professor Mark has a great attitude and has a passion for teaching others. Super nice facility as well. Great for beginners and above!
Great owner, great place. I highly recommend going here.
