I normally don't write reviews, but my experience at Gracie Barra South Vancouver has been really great. The community here is so amazing, and Louis, the head instructor, is incredibly supportive and really knows what he is doing. What I like the most is how he makes you earn every stripe and rank based on time and performance (you truly see yourself progressing and mastering the techniques, and that's what makes it so rewarding). The people here are so kind and truly want to grow with you and care about you. I mean just the other day other members and Louis brought out cold drinks and snacks for everyone training. Plus, as a teen girl who really wants to be able to defend herself, I highly recommend it because it is so practical.
I'm part of a 3 women group who joined since December and enjoyed the comradery there. I like the vibes! Folks are respectful and friendly, it's important to me in this sport of close proximity. Professor Louis's instructions are firm, patient, and effective. I feel lucky that we're currently at a size that are comparable to private lessons, so extra value there. I'm enjoying both the mental and physical aspect of BJJ, it's a confidence I bring on and off the mats. I recommend.
I started here 4 months ago, and it’s been a great place to train—especially for anyone who’s just starting out or getting back into it. It’s a small team right now, but I know we’re building something special. Coach Louis has always been welcoming and very patient with me, especially since I’m not the fastest learner. We’re building from the ground up to become a great team. Now it’s all about putting in the work.
My husband and I trained for a short time at the newly opened South Vancouver location, and we had a great experience. Professor Louis and the training partners we met were friendly and welcoming. The academy is clean, and the facilities make every session enjoyable. It’s the perfect mix of professional and approachable. Highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a warm, good quality jiu jitsu experience! Oss! 🙌
Very friendly environment. I have Never done any martial arts before and joining GB South Vancouver has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and mindset. Not only the Instructor Luis is very knowledgeable and patient, he is able to explain the technical and physical aspects of the move in simple terms. Me and my 5 years old enjoy the class very much and I highly recommend to everyone.
