Gracie Barra Saddle rock is an incredible jujitsu gym. Professor Juninho is a world class competitor and professor. The community in the gym is very pleasant yet allows for people to spar and compete at a high level if you so choose. This gym is worked into my daily route because both Alex and professor Juninho hold it to such a high standard and class. We all appreciate it!

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional experience I had with Alex at Gracie Barra Saddle Rock. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to help me get my son into their program. What stood out most was their unwavering empathy and integrity throughout the process. He truly listened to our needs and concerns, making us feel valued and understood every step of the way. He didn’t just treat us like another application, he genuinely cared about my son’s well-being and success. His professionalism, kindness, and dedication exceeded all expectations. If you’re looking for an organization that puts people first and operates with heart and honesty, I wholeheartedly recommend Gracie Barra. They’ve made a lasting positive impact on my family, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

From start to end, amazing communication and support. Alex kept in contact with us throughout our journey. We were greeting warmly, with trial class and gi set up for our kiddo. A thorough overview of practices and philosophy of Gracie Barra. Gym is super clean, organized. Pricing was extremely fair. We are excited to become part of the family!

From the first call about a trial class, Alex was very kind, welcoming and informative. He rea hed out prior to the trial class to be sure we were prepared. He was also there when my son tried his first class. He fit him into his Gi and made him feel comfortable and accepted by the other students. There was a friendly community of parents that spoke about how much their child enjoys Gracie Barra. The schedule offered makes it very convenient to attend what works best within our schedule at home.

This is a great community to learn from. The instructors are knowledgeable and skilled. The other students are there to learn, but also to help you learn. The mats are really clean. What more could you ask for in a martial arts gym?

I have 2 girls enrolled here, one is 7 and the other is 12. We have been here for over a year now and they both love it. Professor Juninho and Coach Alex are amazing. My girls have learned and grown in really positive ways since starting BJJ. I am truly grateful to the team here.

Gracie Barra Saddle Rock is a top notch martial arts school for self-defense and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Professor Arlindo (Juninho) came to the Saddle Rock school just one year ago and has been an amazing addition. His background in physical education gives him a unique perspective to teach the kids and adults classes. He, the staff, and students have fostered an open and friendly culture that all can feel safe while training. Highly recommend coming to try a class!

Great experience! This is the best Jiu-Jitsu academy in Colorado hands down. My son has been training here for over a year now and I cannot thank them enough for all benefits he gets at Gracie Bara Saddle Rock. Professor Juninho and Coach Alex are great with kids and very professional.

My girls love going to Jiu-Jitsu. The coaches have taken the time to get to know my girls. I have seen tons of growth and improvement since they began. They can’t wait for their next belt! I recommend Gracie Barra to those who are looking for a martial art.

Our five year old and eight year old have both trained here for the past five months. The physical fitness is great for getting their energy out. The bigger benefits are character building and the sense of community. Their confidence and self image have improved in this short time, which is great prevention for bullying! I’m always surprised how quickly my kids listen and how tall they stand in class. Professor Bruno and Coach Matt are excellent teachers, very patient, and encourage self discipline. I highly recommend Gracie Barra Saddle Rock!

My whole family (5 of us) have been training here for 3 months now. It’s been a fantastic experience. The community is just without parallel. Everyone has opened their arms and welcomed us unconditionally. One of my sons has autism and the other has a behavior disorder. The coaches and instructors have been so patient and worked with them at their level while still expecting them to drive and improve. I’m so incredibly thankful for this gym and the community surrounding it.

The best Jiu-Jitsu school in the area by far!! Treat you like family and welcome all with open arms. Gracie Barra saddle Rock is now being featured as the only recommended Jiu-Jitsu school at 24 Hour Fitness Parker x Arapahoe. I highly recommend checking them out!

Our 3 year old wont stop talking about "my jitsu". The staff are amazing. They have so much patience when they are teaching the younger kids. My wife is also signing up. Absolutely worth it. Update: After a few months, we have come to realise Duda is the only reason this gym is still going. He absolutely cares for his students. He, the old professor and Donovan are the only reason for the 5 stars.

I visited Gracie Barra Saddle Rock in hopes of expanding on my Pre-K child's martial arts training. Observable Pros: 1) Due to the popularity of MMA, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu classes will be popular especially in the near term. 2) The owner has a lot of ownership pride and always looking to improve his business/curriculum. 3) The training facility is impressive. 4) Instructors are knowledgeable in their tradecraft. Observable Cons: 1) Classes are too big. 2) Poor teacher to student ratio. 3) Kids had very little mat time. 4) Student engagement could be better. I would recommend this facility for older kids (at least elementary), teens, and adults.
