I dropped in for the Monday morning class this week while visiting Salt Lake for a work event. I had a great experience and appreciate the professionalism of the gym and professor instructing! The structure was well put together and the rolls were great. As a white belt woman, I was nervous about visiting a gym where I didn’t know anyone, but I felt right at home and completely comfortable. The members were very nice and respectful. Definitely would recommend joining this gym or at least checking out if you’re visiting the area!

Just got back from my first class at Gracie Barra, and let me tell you, I was really anxious going in. But as soon as I walked through the doors, I was greeted by Abe, who was one of the most humble people I’ve met. Everyone there was incredibly friendly, and I truly felt a sense of camaraderie that I haven’t experienced since leaving the Army. I usually don’t leave reviews, but trust me—if I can force myself to go, you can too, and you’ll be welcomed with open arms.

My first experience at Gracie Barra was great! I won't lie; I was very nervous about trying ju-jitsu. I have never participated in any martial arts and am not used to getting physically close to strangers. But my experience with Gracie Barra was very pleasant. All 3 coaches were very kind, energetic, and extremely talented in their craft. They placed me with another teammate, who made me feel very welcome. Everyone was extremely patient with me, and I knew I wanted to go back and train with them. It was a great experience, and I highly recommend this facility to anyone interested in learning ju-jitsu, self-defense, or a new hobby. Thank you, Gracie Barra!

I was researching different martial arts schools to find the right fit, and Gracie Barra SLC came up as one of the top recommendations. I decided to give them a try and was pleasantly surprised to find they offer a free trial class, which is perfect for seeing if it’s something you’d want to commit to. I signed up for the Monday morning class from 6:30–7:30 AM and appreciated receiving reminder notifications, which even suggested arriving 15 minutes early. While I didn’t see anyone until closer to class time, it wasn’t a big deal—I just wanted to be prepared! Everyone I met was friendly and welcoming, especially as someone with no prior BJJ experience. The class was not only fun but also gave me a chance to chat with the students and get a feel for the camaraderie, which made me feel right at home. By the end, I was so impressed that I decided to sign up! I opted for the SHIELD membership at $50/week, which includes benefits like a 10% discount on their website for gear. I’m excited to keep joining the early morning classes whenever I can. Thanks, Gracie Barra Salt Lake, for being so welcoming to newcomers! P.S. they let you borrow a Gi, rash guard, white belt, pants for the trial (they wash them after they are used). I included a picture of what the Gi and rashguard and belt and the sack bag look like. :)

The staff are friendly, the professors/coaches are kind but challenge me, the facility is clean, and the community is warm and welcoming.

I was only in Salt Lake for one day, and Gracie Barra was the only gym I could find with afternoon class slots. I attended the advanced Gi class, and I had a great time. Class size was small, and professor Carlos was able to spend time with each student to ensure proper technique. Not only that, but the overall environment was so welcoming and even though I just dropped in for a day, I felt like a part of the family. If I am ever in SLC again I will definitely be back.

As an Orlando Sanchez brown belt now training at Gracie Barra in Northridge, California, I must admit, this school is so very awesome! Very nice, welcoming but tough people training here! They got all levels from beginners to advance here! The Nogi classes are great too, I was lucky to do both the same day! Everyone introduced themselves to me and they were very polite and asked me where I was visiting from and welcomed me with open arms here. Everyone is welcomed to train here! If you wanna break a sweat, or looking for a challenge, this place has something for everyone. They got kids classes too

We have been so happy with our experience at Gracie Barra SLC. On her first day our 6 year old daughter was very nervous but Amanda and Rodrigo worked so hard to make her feel comfortable and then invited her to come back and try again before we made a decision to move ahead. Fast forward almost a year later and she is thriving, has made so many friends, is learning great technique and discipline, and loves coming to class. The teachers are all so respectful and have lots of fun with the kids. We will be bringing our other kids here as soon as they are older.

I cannot love Gracie Barra enough. My son initially did a trial week here, and that’s how we knew this was the place for us. I could tell all the professors and coaches really love their students and the kids love them back. It’s often difficult for my son to stay focused, especially late in the afternoon, but they are able to refocus his attention in a patient and respectful way. I also feel the guidance and challenges provided are age appropriate. In the two years we’ve been with GB, my son’s skills and confidence have grown so much. We are looking forward to many more years with GB and excited to see the growth.

There isn’t a day we go that all the kids don’t race to give them a hug at the end of their class. They are great at teaching the kids sportsmanship and discipline. They also plan fun activities for the kids to attend. Parents night out is a great way for them to see all their friends from class and play. I love the no quitting attitude and helping the kids learn they can do hard things. People say it takes a tribe to raise kids. I’m glad Gracie barra Salt Lake City is part of our tribe; to help teach the kids valuable lessons about life. I would recommend bringing your child to any of the locations. Professor Rodrigo with the help of his amazing team run amazing programs. Thanks for everything!!!

Joining the Gracie Barra Family has been one of the best decisions I have ever made!! I attend the Salt Lake, West Jordan, and soon to be Riverton location, and my experience has just been incredible. I have trained at a few other schools, but not a single one has made me reconsider my choice in schools. From the moment you walk into the gym, you are welcomed with open arms by both staff and athletes alike. Gracie Barra Salt Lake City and the people there have quickly become like a second family to me, which is hard to come by in this day and age. Race, nationality, gender, age, sexual orientation, none of that will matter when you walk through the doors; the only thing that truly matters to these people are how much work you are willing to put in, if you are willing to persevere through the challenges. I started at Gracie Barra as a newbie to Jiujitsu, and this environment has made me not only addicted to the sport, but excited for my years of practice and challenges that will come with it. Whether you’re looking to switch gyms, have been wanting to try jiujitsu for a while, or are even just looking for a fun way to get in some exercise, I HIGHLY recommended you give this gym a try :)

I had an amazing experience here learning multiple styles of jiu-jitsu, being welcomed, and working with a lot of great training partners that I am really good friends with now. What I love most about this gym is the culture and community also how welcoming the members are. They make it safe to learn Jujutsu. If you are thinking of starting or wondering where to start, I would highly recommend Gracie Barra Salt Lake City!

Their lead instructor Rodrigo is very knowledgeable and ensure you or your child understand the importance of learning and having the skills. All instructors are always present to show you step by step movements. They are always welcoming new students and you can always attend the class until you feel comfortable to join and commit! Me personally, I recommend Others to give it a try even when it’s outside your comfort zone! I promise you, they are encouraging, the vibe is very motivating and they everyone is all welcoming!!!

Just what I was looking for. I am a middle aged man and have had some pretty bad injuries in my life. But still love working out and doing martial arts. Past few years tried few schools it was alot of "here's a cool move, let's fight." That led to alot of irritating the old injuries. Now some hard training is important in martial arts but I am very selective on when and where I go hard. Gracie Barra has really good program that promotes team work and learning, not so much competition. Some of the higher belts do competition but that is totally voluntary. They also get involved in charities which I also like.

Gracie Barra SLC is clean and professional and the kids all showed a great deal of respect to the Professors. Sign your kids up for Jiu-Jitsu!! It has made my kids so confident in their daily lives.

I wanted to leave this review sooner, but I also wanted to make sure I spent the time on it that it deserved…. I was fortunate enough to visit Gracie Barra SLC last month (Sept. ’23). I came from out of State (California). I just started Jiu Jitsu about 2 months before I visited Gracie Barra SLC. And due to my job, I am always traveling, but wanted to stay consistent in my training since I just started. I reached out to a few gyms in the area, and Gracie Barra SLC & Jordan were the only ones to reach back out to me on social media. They said they welcome visitors from other gyms, so I decided to stop in on their Saturday Class. Being so new to Jiu Jitsu, I was very nervous about going to another gym. I did not know what to expect, it kind of felt like my first day all over again. But when I arrived, I was welcomed immediately by the nicest people on the planet. Rodrigo and Carlos were the Professors teaching that day and got me sorted out before the class, loaned me a Gi and Rash Guard to train in. Before the Adult class started, I got to watch the Kids class. Since my son has been doing Jiu Jitsu for 2 ½ years, I was excited to see how other gyms teach their kids. I was so impressed by how they ran the class, it’s exactly the type of coaching I would want my child to experience. If I lived in Utah, this is exactly where I would take my kid to train. Without a doubt. Before my class started, the other Adults started walking in, and almost every one of them came up to me, shook my hand and welcomed me to their gym. What a relief. They basically took all my worries away before we started class. The warmups were much different than my gym, and I loved it because we stretched full body, even neck which I usually have soreness. I needed these warmups more than I knew. and are now something I’ve implemented into my own training at my gym prior to classes. The Saturday I was there; Professor Rodrigo and Carlos were teaching ‘Lasso Guard’. Out of 3 months of Training now, Lasso Guard is something I use almost every session, and one of the few techniques things I've remembered over the last few months. and i keep improving it. I remember when Professor Rodrigo was teaching us, he talked about what would work for competition, and what could or could not apply to street situations. I loved that he taught me how and when a technique should be used. After Drilling/ Techniques, we got to roll/grapple. The guys I rolled with were awesome, no Ego, just respect and training. I’ve seen negative comments on Social Media about Graice Barra gyms, mainly surrounding their guidelines for using their own branded Gi, rash guards. I really don’t understand why anyone would comment negatively on Gracie Barra Gyms. When you go into one, everyone looks like a team, its really clean, very professional and full of great people. This is the environment you want to train in. I’ve also noticed that if you are a member of the Gracie Barra family, you also have access to ALL Gracie Barra Gyms, anywhere. That's just awesome! If you are thinking of starting your Jiu Jitsu journey in Utah, this is the place! If I lived in Salt Lake City, there is no doubt this would be the gym me and my son train at. I have nothing but good things to say about the facilities, and the people there. I’ll be back in SLC in November, so I am going to find the time to visit the team again. I know I’ll be welcomed, and I know I’ll learn so much while I'm there Thanks Again GB SLC! You guys have created such a great environment. You should be proud of it!

While visiting SLC on a business trip, I packed my gi and called ahead to ask about dropping in to train. I was welcomed on the phone and even more so when I arrived. Several members, including Professor Rodrigo Ziser came up to me to introduce themselves and thank me for coming. The school was awesome, spacious with a big grappling mat, changing bays and lots of seating for guests and spectators. Clean. Organized. Professional. Professor Rodrigo was an excellent instructor, teaching and demonstrating very useful techniques, then walking the mat to help us drill the finer points of the positions. I met about a dozen members of their team and every one of them was also welcoming and friendly. Make no mistake, the training was hard, and nobody took it easy on me. But at the same time everyone was a helpful, careful and considerate partner. No egos, just a team pushing each other to improve. I loved every minute and am so grateful for the opportunity to visit and get an amazing workout. When I left, Professor Rodrigo thanked me again for coming, and welcomed me to visit on my next trip. As I’ll be in SLC about once a month , I hope to have a home away from home and train with this team again soon! Thanks guys!! -Stan Masek

I always enjoy training at the Gracie Barra school in Salt Lake. I quickly developed friendships with helpful training partners and instructors who I look forward to working with every class. I tend to believe that you come for the quality of instruction, but you stay for the community you become a part of. Fortunately, this school offers the best of both. If you have any hesitation about trying jiu-jitsu, know there is a place for you here.

My kid has improved his self esteem so much, knows boundaries and how to defends himself from any negative action. He still has along road to go but he loves it.

The staff is very welcoming, and attending is a pleasure. Even if you've never done martial arts before, all are welcome to attend and it's fun, too!

One thing I love about Gracie Barra is that no matter what gym you go to there are great people and great professors! I love the Salt Lake City Gym, because Professor Carlos does an amazing and is able to teach well to all levels. The gym is clean and neat. They do an excellent job here!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Gracie Barra! The entire team that works together feels like family. They are very welcoming, knowledgeable, and you can tell by their teachings they genuinely care about your well-being. I have younger kids that attend and I respect the professors patience but also discipline when it comes to ensuring the kids are focused and paying attention to technique. You can tell everyone here is passionate about their teachings and don't want to teach a technique and then move on but instill strength and knowledge so that you can have a better understanding of the art Jiu-jitsu has to offer. Thank you to the entire Gracie Barra team for giving my kids a safe space to learn, create, and gain!

This has been an amazing environment to learn jiu-jitsu. The owners and the professors are great, the group is truly supportive and almost everyone seems invested in helping their peers succeed. It's not often that the stars align in such a way to create such a nurturing environment that helps everyone become better and acheive their goals.

A great gym with excellent professors. Everyone is friendly and wants to help everyone learn and grow. The instruction is thorough and accessible to new students. The sparring is competitive but friendly.

I really really loved the culture and the absolute focus of Gracie Barra the only thing that is difficult is the price point for me currently and I had to switch from this membership to another place. But if you want a focused experience with great people willing to teach them you will love this place. Great workout and great instructors

I am impressed with the quality of the classes I am encountering in this gym. I come from Brazil and have had experience with numerous coaches. The attention to the students is off the charts. The cleanness of the gym and great friends atmosphere are also first class.

We are so grateful to have found Gracie Barra! We have noticed a major improvement in our son’s behavior and we have now been at GB long enough to watch that same shift happening in other kids. All of the coaches are fantastic but we are especially grateful for Professor Rodrigo- he is consistent about expectations yet he understands that he is instructing kids and sometimes they just need to play dodgeball. He is the epitome of someone that commands respect rather than demands respect and it’s really quite exceptional to watch. The community here is really wonderful and we appreciate the extra community-building events like pumpkin-carving.

My son started at Gracie Barra around six months ago after we wanted to get him involved in an activity to build confidence. What we ended up finding was a community of support and respect that isn’t just demonstrated with our kids. The staff have shown my son a sense of belonging, hard work, and community. We’ve sat in on every class since he started and have never once raised an eye brow to any of the interactions with his instructors, staff, or even in our interactions with other parents. Im not only happy with his experience here, I genuinely feel like his time at Gracie Barra has helped him to find who he is.

Love this Jiu Jitsu gym! My 6 year old son started summer of 2022 and took right to it. The coaches and Profesor Rodrigo are fantastic with the kids! They are kind, but firm and know how to demonstrate technique at a kid’s pace! My son absolutely loves Carlos, Pedro and Profesor Rodrigo, they are the best! He has always felt welcome there and knows that his coaches care about him. Something else that has solidified the fact that no other gym would be better is that they welcome special needs kids with open arms and give them the attention they need. They’re amazing!

We definitely love this school, the teachers are extremely qualified to teach and are very careful with the children. My son Arthur (10 years old) is a black belt in Taekwondo, but he decided to start a new martial art Jiu-Jitsu, known as the “gentle art”. In addition to learning, Arthur continues to make new friends, practice physical exercises, and mainly uses self-control for protection. Great investment for everyone, I recommend Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Gracie Barra to everyone!

We started training at Gracie Barra SLC over a year ago with our young sons. As an elementary school teacher and prior coach, I am thoroughly impressed by the professors patience and kindness. I have loved the community of parents, the diversity, the professionalism, and the professors skill at working so well with all abilities and developmental levels. I can’t say enough nice things about GBSLC and tell everyone I know how impressed we are.

My 12 yo daughter started taking classes here about 5 or 6 months ago. She absolutely loves it here, and we love it for her. The sense of community is strong from the minute you walk in the door, and kids are made to feel welcome from their very first class. My daughter's confidence has improved so much, and she's gone from shy wallflower to kid who wants to lead the class in warm-ups. There's an expected level of focus and discipline that I really appreciate--it's something we don't see enough in our communities and I really appreciate GB Salt Lake City bringing it and helping kids find that in themselves.

We are so grateful to find Gracie Barra Jiu-Jitsu. We never could find somewhere that loves and takes time to teach, educate our young children to grow and strengthen their mental and physical strength. We appreciate all the teachers, from Jr. To Sr. Coaches, Professors, and Masters! The love, effort, and dignity they provide for the students every lesson! By far, the best Self- Defense GB institute we could ask for. Sometimes, we take discipline a little harder than it is. However, life does not come with a booklet. You make your own destiny with positive choices and learning from mistakes to grow and become successful human. Thank you Professors and Coaches for showing our young and adults strength, responsibility and dedication.

My kids practice at the gym 3-4 days a week and have done so for about 7 months. I am absolutely in awe of how much they are loved and supported while they are there. The entire staff knows them by name and knows their idiosyncrasies and how to best support them. Coach Carlos is so supportive and puts in so much effort for each child to have a wonderful time. He is friendly, loving, and always has a warm smile on his face. Coach Rodrigo is absolutely amazing with kids. He holds high expectations for his class and he encourages teamwork, positive attitudes, and respect on and off the mat. I have taught high school in inner city St Louis and D.C. and have worked with a number of highly gifted/skilled teachers, and I can honestly say that Rodrigo is one of the best teachers I have ever seen. I wish I could clone him and put him in each and every struggling school in the country! I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to have my kids work daily with such a passionate and loving coach that teaches them amazing jiu jitsu skills and so much more!

We absolutely LOVE Gracie Barra Salt Lake City! Our daughter is new to BJJ. Get ready to join a wonderful community and everything it has to offer! Each week, she’s learning and gaining new skills. The instructors are amazing (Carlos, Rodrigo & Andrea)! They each provide clear direction and instruction when giving the lesson. They make it fun but with structure. The environment is so positive and inviting. For starters, if you work with Amanda at the front desk, she’s kind and explains everything thoroughly. The kids are so kind and taught to show kindness, which we love! You won’t regret joining this club. It is worth it!

We love this place. My child attends classes here. The instructors are positive and encouraging and go out of their way to ensure children feel comfortable but push themselves so they can reach their potential. They take several water breaks during the class, help them with their belts if they come loose. I recommend Gracie Barra SLC to anyone looking to build skills and confidence and want a positive environment.

I was not informed of any 30 day cancellation fee, basically you pay 180 dollars to cancel your membership. They don't care. They will tell you over and over that "it's in the contract, you signed the contract, look at the contract!" Gross. Don't forget, as friendly and as happy as they try to make this dojo, they are still capitalists and they do not care about anything but your money. Just like a chain fitness gym, squeezing every scent out of you. They briefly, BRIEFLY skimmed over this 30 day thing during my onboarding and now looking back it's like they were trying to hide it and hope I wouldn't notice. Their whole goal is to get people to sign up so they can trap people. They are going to respond and be like "you signed the contract, it's in the contract" hahaha. scam artists. READ THE FINE PRINT. and make them go over the cancellation process in more depth, don't let them skim over it. They know what they're doing. And the owner is going to slide their way over to this and vomit some corporate HR bs and it's going to minimize everything I’ve said because that's what they do. but just hear my words. (they are definitely using chat GBT to respond to complaints hahaha). just wait, their response is going to sound so corporate and gross and never once say sorry but instead blame me for everything. Gross. I am now on the last 92 dollar installment of their cancellation 30 day notice, I haven't been in in almost two months and am still paying 92 bi weekly. They design it this way. Hopefully this is my last installment but who knows. I’ll stop here, but I am mad, mad I got scammed. Corporate has entered the chat.

Absolutely awful. After cancelling they FRAUDULENTLY continued charging my card, even though my child was not in class nor subscribed to the class anymore. Also, teachers took ZERO time with new students to help them get up to speed with everyone else, my child learned nothing in 8 classes because he was expected to be up to speed with other children his age despite never attended class
