Gracie Barra Paris

Christopher Martin

I dropped in for a morning session while visiting from Australia. I was able to borrow some GB kit, and jump straight in. The class taught by Mohammed was excellent and even though I only know a little French, I was easily able to follow, and picked up a few key details for the position of the day. Everyone was very friendly, and I felt safe rolling, as they all set a good pace. The higher belts especially made for some tough rounds at the end of class. Note that entry is via the large double doors with the entry code on the website.

Best place in Paris to learn and train BJJ. Julien is a super nice guy, very welcoming and great teaching skill. All his staff are great coaches and welcoming as well and make the training a real pleasure. Between the students there is a great community, a real brotherhood. They extended to 3 schools in Paris by now, all equally awesome 🤜🏼🤛🏼 Oss

I visited Paris for a family vacation and had the pleasure of taking a private lesson with Julien Cazier and then the advanced no-gi class. First, Julien is one of the nicest and most welcoming people I've met in BJJ. He immediately made me feel comfortable at at home. Second, he is an excellent instructor and explains things very well. He has a very detail oriented approach- and those details work. He cleaned up my half-guard shield from bottom with a few minor but very important details. I felt extremely welcomed during the group class. Based on my experience, this is a great academy with great people and a welcoming atmosphere. Everything is very clean as well. They offer classes morning, day and night. I brought my gi and no-gi stuff with me, but they have loaners as well (that are also clean). If you train BJJ and are in Paris, you should absolutely take a private lesson with Julien and at the very least take a group class. This was one of the coolest experiences I've had in BJJ.

Friendly members and coaches. Skilled practitioner as well. Do note you need to wear GB gears but they will lend you some if you are there just for a few days and don't have any. Will come back next time I am in Paris. They have shower facilities but you need to bring your own towel and soap (as for most gyms in Paris). They have classes for all levels from beginners to most advanced.

I was traveling from New York and dropped in for an advanced class. Fantastic instruction — we went deep on the crucifix, and I learned a lot. Folks were friendly, with lots of talented students. Can’t wait to come back.
