I'm thrilled for my son and all the benefits he'll receive from this class and the organization. I highly suggest it to anyone. My son is 16 and has just begun. However, they cater to all ages, from kids to adults. If you're searching for activities for your children or something for yourself as an adult, you've found the place! The facilities are also spotless and stunning. It's truly exceptional.

We are a Brazilian family and our 4-year-old son was very excited to start jiu-jitsu, yesterday He had his first trial class and right after that we signed him up to start the classes. The service was impeccable? The price was very fair and we are excited to be part of the Grace/jiu-jitsu family here im Utah. We have several friends who have their children taking jiu-jitsu classes here and they have learned discipline, protection and developed their talents. And that is what we want for our son.

I train at both the Salt Lake City school and the West Jordan school that rotate the same professors and coaches. I couldn’t be more happy with the differences in professors. Each bring their own bit of expertise to the class. I enjoy seeing variations from all of our great professors and coaches. I don’t come to be a world champion, but come to stay active and cross train from the other sports I do and to just better myself physically and mentally. I find to to be helpful in so many way. Not only the great friends I’ve made but I get to practice my Portuguese with some native speakers.

Our daughter has been attending the Gracie Barra Jiu Jitsu school in West Jordan for about a year now. She started when she was three, and she is turning four next month. At the beginning of her training, she was timid, but she was welcomed with open arms by the other students and professors. The professors at Gracie Barra are amazing and great with kids. Our daughter loves it now, and when she misses “Jitsu,” as she calls it, she gets upset. If you are looking for a school for your kids that will teach them discipline and help build their confidence, look no further than Gracie Barra.

My kids have been coming to this gym for about 6 months now. We were at another gracie gym before this one. While we did like the last gym, we love this one for our kids. The instructors are very attentive, and strict, but so kind. I have seen a difference in my kids' behavior since coming here. The gym is always clean and looks and smells nice. I'm always greeted warmly at the front desk. I love that there are color options for the kids to choose for their gi. There is a competition this weekend, and I love how the instructors talked to the kids about having respect at the competition, and to use it as a learning experience and not to be so overly focused on winning. I have recently started their women's self defense class at the Salt Lake location. I see the same great qualities at that gym as well. I was nervous about taking the class, but shouldn't have been. It is so much fun. The instructor is great at teaching each move and having fun while doing it. If you are thinking of having your kids or yourself train, I highly recommend this gym.

I would like to take this opportunity to give an honest truthful review of my experience and opinion training at Gracie Barra West Jordan. I trained in mixed martial arts for a collaboration of four years of training at the top academy in Los Angeles in my younger years. As I transitioned through life, getting older, I wanted to still maintain confidence, physical fitness, a progressive reward system, and find a good social environment without the egomaniacs, who are there just to flex. I can honestly say Gracie Barra West Jordan has exceeded any expectations I have. Our professors and staff are traditionally trained, highly respectful, and wonderful with showing care to all. You don’t just join a gym you join a family who supports you encourages you and builds you up to be the best example of yourself you never thought imaginable through training. regardless of age, physical limitations, or barriers in life, Gracie Barra, promotes “Jiu-Jitsu For Everyone” which they hold dear to heart. The facilities are top-notch, sanitary, with multiple restrooms that include showers for members, a large open mat area with a lounge, and an upstairs lounge for kids that includes video games to keep them entertained while their parents or older siblings are training. Please do your self the favor and come train with us. I'm looking forward to meeting you!!

I am 43 years old and had been thinking about starting jiu-jitsu for a few years. I was primarily interested in jiu-jitsu for self defense and secondarily looking for a way to get in better shape. I was a bit concerned about getting injured at my age. However, Professor's Rodrigo and Daniel provide excellent, patient instruction and run their classes with safety at the forefront. I have been attending classes at the West Jordan facility for almost three months now and have gotten much stronger, increased my cardio, and learned to enjoy the journey of jiu-jitsu. Learning to enjoy the journey/process has actually been the most surprising aspect of jiu-jitsu for me and has carried over to all aspects of my life. Jiu-jitsu forces you to slow down and relax and absolutely humbles you, which I believe has made me a better husband, father, and employee. If you are thinking of trying jiu-jitsu, I would highly recommend it. The classes are challenging and fun. The professors are very knowledgeable and accomplished, and the students are extremely welcoming, friendly, and supportive.

My daughter has already developed several new skills she previously didn’t have in the last two months we’ve been coming here (which will be especially practical for competition settings).

Right off the bat: Any review, prior to this review, accusing Gracie Barra of illegal/inappropriate conduct is an ABSOLUTE fabrication. It is quite apparent that the person who left that review has some sort of dispute with Gracie Barra and instead of dealing with it person, has chosen to take the low road and handle it with zero class. It is sad that this is how society is now and can assure you that the negative review has absolutely zero to do with the instructors at Gracie Barra or how our children are treated/taught jiu jitsu. If you are new to Gracie Barra, please understand that the previous “low brow” review is irrelevant! My daughter has shown remarkable increases in her confidence and attitude since she has been attending Gracie Barra. The instructors are top notch and provide the perfect amount of discipline needed to teach children jiu jitsu. We have been pleased with the progress she has made and the guidance she has received from all the instructors. The family running the practice have been wonderful and an absolute joy to work with, from a parent’s perspective! High HIGHLY recommend GRACIE BARRA and their awesome instructors!!

I have alot of feelings, all of them great, about Gracie Barra and specifically the West Jordan location(I havent trained at Salt Lake just yet). Please bear with me and grab a drink, this is gonna be a long one. There are all kinds of different martial arts, each one with its merits. Everyone is different so it stands to reason that everyone has different experiences. My experiences outside of Gracie Barra and BJJ have run the length and breadth of negative vibes. Theres always been someone thats had an issue with me either on a personal level or within whatever art/school ive been in. Until now. From day one I've been treated like family! Not one day in the relatively short time I've been going(a few months) have I ever been made to feel less than nor have I been put down for any reason by anyone. This is huge for me... Every single partner I've had has been massively helpful. Being a little on the older side, I had misgivings about starting an art like Jiu Jitsu. It's for everyone. No one here is going to "dunk" on the white belt or any number of other horror stories you may have heard. We can't study this massive ocean of an art without each other. As Gracie Barra students we truly do our best to take care of each other. It's honestly the most healthy and awesome learning environment I've ever had the pleasure of being a part of. 1. Sign up for an intro class, I know it's scary. Just do it :) 2. Yes, it's hard. YES it's very much worth it. 3. It's for everyone and immediately practical.

Getting back into BJJ after a long layoff was quite daunting as a middle aged practitioner. The West Jordan Gracie Barra school made it easy for me with a very welcoming environment. I immediately felt a part of the team, and the instruction is the best you will find anywhere. No matter your age or ability, this school has a place for you.

This gym is dedicated to learning BJJ in a safe environment that is absent of ego. Any age or gender will feel welcomed. Both Professor Julio and Professor Rodrigo will go out of their way to answer questions, give tips, and keep you motivated to come back. The gym has onsite changing rooms, huge mats that are always clean, and an environment of respectful learning. I have arrived early and observed the professors working with children with humor and education. I participate in the adults section and leave every class feeling tired, yet accomplished, in learning a new skill each time. The part I enjoy the most is slowly, every student becomes a coach of sorts as we roll. We are not in competition to "win" each other, we are in a joint learning environment where we give each other tips. "I felt your body weight shift and that is why I defended on that side," "I think the professor said we need to grab higher on the gi, lets try that again," "That was a perfect technique, can you show me how you did that!" These are all things I have heard others say or have said myself as we grow together as a family of learners all seeking to better ourselves. Wish I would have started long ago.

Gracie Barra Jiu Jitsu is a great school! I took my five year old son to try it out and he loved it! I had to sign him up the same day. I really like the way the instructors teach the kids because they also make sure the kids are actually learning and if they are doing a technique or exercise incorrectly the instructors will take the time to stop them and correct them in what they are doing wrong. They have multiple kids but the instructors make sure that all students are understanding the techniques. My son has only being going to Gracie Barra for about 6 weeks and he has learned a lot regarding self defence. I definitely recommend taking your kids to Gracie Barra. The instructors and Daniela are great at what they do!

Daniela will greet you with a smile each day and is always helpful and kind. The professors, Rodrigo and Julio, are some of the most insightful, accomplished black belts in the region. Their classes are always informative and they do a great job explaining each move and technique. What I really appreciate is the time after class, where the professors are available for questions or any help, tips you may need. Overall, Gracie Barra in West Jordan is an awesome place with supportive staff and a very welcoming community.

I've had an incredible experience so far at Gracie Barra West Jordan. Before starting at Gracie Barra WJ, I spent weeks researching the open gyms in our area—reading reviews and surveying social media—but the owners of GB West Jordan and SLC stood out from the rest. My intro class only cemented my observations further; the instructors and fellow members were welcoming, patient, and encouraging. All of which drove me to join this wonderful community of members and I couldn't be more satisfied with my decision.

Gracie Barra is the third BJJ gym I have tried in Salt Lake City and I have come to learn Gracie Barra is by far the best gym in the Valley especially for building a solid foundation in the fundamentals. Bad habits I have picked up elsewhere have been a challenge to break since I started the program, however the Professors have been excellent in demonstrating and guiding me through the proper techniques. The Culture is very welcoming, the facilities are excellent with the largest mat area in the Valley (3 times larger than the next largest gym I've been to), they have changing rooms, and even a shower. On top of all that it is a really safe environment that focuses on learning and remaining injury free. For example I have been fortunate enough that I have been able to attend 5-8 classes a week and remain injury free. I can not say the same for the other egotistical gyms I have attended in the past were I was constantly nursing injuries.

Gracie Barra Jiu Jitsu is for everyone. It really is. I just hit 40 and more a shape than in shape. So if this big guy can learn in just a few months how to gracefully snap an arm while applying self defense techniques I never thought I could do, then you xan too. My whole family trains and we absolutely love it. My 5 y/o adores her coaches, and these amazing leaders are the same guys that coach me. I remember losing my lunch in the first week as I quickly ran out of breath and couldn't stop sweating, now only 2.5 months later I feel better, I move better, I breathe better, and I continue to grow and learn (I'm a big guy so sweating is part of my self-defense I think). But it's so much more than techniques and fitness. It's family! I've never had a place so welcoming. From the higher belts to the newbies, once you step on that mat you are a brother or sister, you are part of an ever growing family. I'm so happy to be part of the GB family at West Jordan and I'm excited to get healthy and learn BJJ. And I'm so excited watching my wife and kids love the sport of jiu jitsu as well. Thank you Professor Julio and Professor Rodrigo for being so freaking amazing. 💛

Upon first sight this place appears clean but my child got athletes foot from here the second week of attending. They don’t clean the mats between classes if at all. Another major turn off is the expectations Rodrigo puts on the children to “sale” the memberships to visitors. A couple weeks ago we arrived early for our class, catching the tail end of the tiny kids session while he was scolding the tiny students for “making him yell at them and scare the visiting child observing because he had to work on so many behavioral issues with them that day”… No sir! That’s on YOU! If she was scared and left because you were yelling at the children; it’s because YOU WERE YELLING AT THE CHILDREN and it was SCARY! Don’t expect the children to be your salesmen. At the end of summer we will be changing schools. Rodrigo is currently very aggressively trying to persuade members to “write positive reviews”. I’d be weary of authenticity.
