My 5 year old has been going to GB Ottawa East for the last 5 months and he absolutely LOVES it. Coach Derek teaches his Tiny Champs class in such a way that it's fun/engaging while also building BJJ fundamentals. My son looks forward to every class! I've also recently joined myself, at 38 years old, and the environment is very welcoming. It's a fantastic way to learn a new sport while building fitness.

Love this jiu-jitsu gym! The vibe is very welcoming and you can really tell it’s community-driven. Everyone is friendly and supportive, which makes it a great place to train. They’re especially amazing with the kids. The coaches really focus on helping them grow—not just in jiu-jitsu or Muay Thai , but with confidence, discipline, and respect too. You can see how much they care about each child’s progress. Overall, just a great environment for both kids and adults. Definitely recommend checking it out!

My son and I have been proud members of Gracie Barra Ottawa East for nearly four years. While I had some prior experience in martial arts, this was my son’s very first introduction to the sport. From the moment he stepped onto the mats, he was welcomed with genuine warmth and encouragement. The owners and coaching staff create an exceptional environment, and Steven Burke, in particular, has had a profound impact on our experience. Steven consistently goes above and beyond, not only during scheduled classes, but often giving his own personal time to help my son refine techniques, build skills, and grow in confidence. His patience, dedication, and authentic care for each student truly set him apart. After facing some unfortunate bullying at school, my son found more than just a sport at Gracie Barra, he found a safe and supportive community. Under Steven’s mentorship, he has grown tremendously, both mentally and physically. His confidence has flourished, his resilience has strengthened, and he carries himself with a sense of self-assurance that extends far beyond the mats. I wholeheartedly recommend Gracie Barra Ottawa East to anyone considering martial arts, especially families with children. The academy fosters growth not only in skill, but in character. Steven has cultivated an outstanding competition team where every child feels heard, valued, and supported, like part of one big family. We truly cherish every opportunity to train at Gracie Barra. Over the years, we have built lasting friendships and become part of a close-knit, uplifting community. It has been an incredibly positive and transformative experience for both of us. :)

Our family are Founding Members at Gracie Barra Ottawa East, and we began training the week after it opened. To say it’s been life-changing would be an understatement. Professor Steve and Coach Derek have built a community that is welcoming, inclusive, and safe. The instruction in both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai is truly top-notch. My daughter is part of the youth competition team, and the growth I’ve seen—both in the students and the program itself—is a direct reflection of Professor Steve’s belief in their abilities and his dedication to helping them succeed. Sometimes, it feels like he dreams even bigger than they do! Coach Derek has transformed the kids’ program into multiple age-specific groups, ensuring safety is always the top priority. The Tiny Champions program for 3–5 year-olds is incredible—full of fun, while still preparing the kids to transition smoothly into the regular program at age six. The families, athletes, staff, and ownership team are truly the heart of Gracie Barra Ottawa East. They’ve become our second family, and we are so grateful to be part of such a welcoming community.

I've been coming to Gracie Barra Orleans since they opened and I absolutely love it here. The gym is spacious, clean and large change rooms with lockers to store your belongings. The staff is always very welcoming and the coaches are very knowledgeable. Lots of female training partners and a great schedule that will accommodate most people.

Amazing! The instructors are very helpful, I started doing jiu-jitsu not to long ago, and everyone was very welcoming. They have a little sitting place and cafe with a pretty big menu if your waiting for a class!

My 13 year old son was having a really hard time at school with bullying and low self esteem. We started classes at this gym after the recommendation of one of my son's teachers who also trains there and the difference I have seen in my child in the last 4 months is incredible. The coaches are absolutely amazing!! They have treated me like family and are always following up to make sure both my son and I are doing ok. A great big shout out goes to Joe who's smile makes all the difference in someone's day!! Thank you all! I look forward to seeing my son's progress in the next few years.
