This place is a hidden gem for birthday parties. Came here for a 6th birthday, and it was so much fun! Even the younger siblings (3 yrs old) had a blast! Would highly recommend
The coaches are clearly very passionate about what theyre doing. Looking forward to attending for jiu jitsu classes in the future
Our daughter has been enrolled here for almost ten months. She started when she was 3 - at first really shy, but we have seen her confidence ooze out, especislly this past month. The classes here have taught her so, so much. Every week we see an improvement in her hand eye coordination, stamina, endurance and confidence, not to mention listening skills/following directions. I love how it's setting the foundation down for her as she grows older in Jujitsu - the coaches here are absolutely outstanding individuals. They genuinely enjoy what they do and you can not only feel their passion, you see it demonstrated consistently with how they teach the kids. 100/10. Thanks for everything
Best in the West! We absolutely love Gracie Barra. The nice part is classes range in age so if you’re lucky you can have multiple children attending the same class. All the coaching staff are fantastic! They really care about the students and actually call them all by their names… it’s pretty incredible!! After attending many tryout classes in the city Gracie Barra was the front runner by a long shot. We’re blessed to be a part of this awesome jiujutsu community. Both my son and daughter love it and have made a ton of progress since they started. I would highly recommend this gym. You will not regret it. A million thanks!
Absolutely amazing experience so far! Our little guy is so shy and they have all been so welcoming, taking extra time to help him adjust and giving me peace of mind that we have found somewhere he’s really going to love!
We love Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu! Our daughter started when she was just 4 years old, and now, almost two years later, we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The coaches, staff, and everyone in the Gracie Barra family have been amazing. They’ve created such a welcoming and supportive environment, and we’re so grateful for the positive impact it’s had on our daughter.
Our 10 and 8 year old have been attending classes here for 1.5 years and it has been one of the best things for them.
It has improved their physical fitness, their confidence and self-discipline. The coaches are all supportive, kind yet firm and are invested in each kids progress and wellbeing
To be able to empower our children with the ability to defend themselves is invaluable and we thank the team for helping us do that.
If you are looking for a great place for your children to learn self defense, here is where you want to be. The coaches put together fun activities to keep the children interested while teaching them self defense and different techniques. Our son loves it here and looks forward to going to class every week.
Absolutely Life-Changing Experience at Gracie Barra!
Training at Gracie Barra has been one of the best decisions my fiancé and I have made. Jiu-Jitsu has not only improved our physical fitness but has also strengthened our mental resilience, discipline, and confidence in ways we never imagined. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about teaching, creating an environment where everyone—regardless of skill level—feels welcome and supported.
Beyond the techniques and training, this gym has become a second home for us. The sense of community and camaraderie is truly special, and the lessons we learn on the mats translate into our daily lives—whether it’s problem-solving, staying calm under pressure, or pushing ourselves beyond our limits.
If you’re looking for a place to grow, challenge yourself, and be surrounded by amazing people, Gracie Barra is the perfect choice. We’re so grateful for this journey and excited to continue learning and evolving with this incredible team. Oss!
Gracie Barra has been a great place to continue my BJJ journey. I have been training with GB for 3 years and I have met great people who I now call friends. We are respected and treated like family. I recommend bringing your family to Gracie Barra Calgary NW for a great safe place for all to enjoy the love of martial arts. This is a place kids can feel comfortable and safe while learning.
GB NW offers classes at all times of the day to suit your lifestyle. Starting BJJ changed my life and it can change yours too.
Our experience has been great. The instructors are approachable, skilled, encouraging, and friendly. The facility is well-maintained and provides a great environment. Jiu-Jitsu classes have benefited my son in many ways. Highly recommend!
