Excellent gym, great community, would definitely recommend
This place is great. Good for all ages and all levels of experience. Very clean gym and great instructors and a peers that will help you reach your personal goals.
Great experience for my son. He learned so much and he really enjoyed all his classes.
I had a pretty awesome experience here. Coach Andrew, Professor Nathan and the team here made it very welcoming to start and make it easy to begin my Jiu Jitsu journey. I would recommend this over others any day.
Fantastic gym, welcoming staff and flexible classes. I was a little worried starting jiu jitsu as I am a shorter woman, but the professors are great about pairing up matches so you don’t get hurt.
My son enjoyed going to Gracie barra
GRACIE Barra is absolutely the spot the be, patience and understanding with the kids is great. I appreciate the communication and schedule flexibility. Thank you guys.
Gracie Barra West Lancaster is the best juijitsu academy around! They teach dedication, hard work, and discipline, and treat everyone like family. I highly recommend them.
Amazing class, can’t wait to return in summer definitely will be back and definitely recommend my daughter loved it and felt so confident while attending
Our son came to this location. The coaches are awesome. The sense of family environment is awesome. Highly recommend!
Great experience knowledgeable staff. variety of available hours. willing to teach beginners also a great variety of students to train with open community.
My daughter (age 5) has been going here for almost a year and has had such a great time! The coaches are so patient with the kids and really help them develop focus and teamwork, and they make it all super fun. My kiddo has learned a lot, and her self-confidence has increased since coming here. They are building a community with the kids and their families, and it really shows. They're very welcoming and we highly recommend them to anyone interested in jiu jitsu.
Gracie Barra was a great experience for my son. I highly recommend it. It helped him a lot with self-defense. Everyone was very friendly, and the coaches were excellent.
A truly special place, way more than just jiujitsu. From day one, my family and I have been welcomed. Being a part of this community has created confidence and self esteem in my children. The staff is great and the facilities are always clean. Highly recommend!
Our child started attending at the age of 5. We saw so much growth in him since his enrollment. This is an excellent place that allows you to grow, develop discipline and love for the sport. Members are all so welcoming and respectful towards one another and that was refreshing to encounter. Additionally, the GB team is a family! ( I should add that It’s a family owned business. )They truly strive to give the attention and respect to each individual. They strive to work towards growth. Professor Nathan, Coach Andrew, Coach Mikey, Victoria, Coach Nathan, Coach Juliana and Evelyn are the BEST! I would continue to drop names but then I would never finish this post (lol). A+++ classes for young students 3 1/2 (potty trained) to adult. I will definitely be returning and def. Recommend this BJJ school.
I've been doing Jiu-jitsu for over 20 years and been to many gyms, and academies so I feel like know what its like to enter a welcoming environment, that is full of great people! The instructors have high quality instruction and very knowledgeable! The business is run by and wonderful family and I can't wait to visit again! Differently a home away from home if you are ever in the area and want to roll, or if you're look for a new BJJ home! Love you guys! Thank you for welcoming me!
Absolutely perfect here, everyone is so kind and supportive! I spent little time and yet it felt like I was welcomed into a new family, the environment is built off of respect and trust. That trust and respect immediately provided to you alone makes this experience 100% worth it!
Amazing place! The coaches are great, my daughter loves going there. Coach Andrew and the rest of the coaches are amazing with the kids and the techniques as well. My daughter learned self defense and each day is a new adventure. Best place to have your kids enrolled for self defense. The front desk lady Evelyn is super helpful as well. If you want the best experience, then Gracie Barra West Lancaster is the place to go.
My son has been attending here for about 6 months now and it is a great place with awesome coaches and staff. Very friendly, very accommodating, love the coaches teaching style and patience for the little ones and overall positive atmosphere.
Excellent service, I would love my kids to train here again. The staff is friendly and they really care about the kids. They are always patient and try to give plenty of individual attention when it is needed.
Great place to learn marshal art, friendly environment, flexible schedule, great training
Overall great experience! Wonderful staff who were very knowledgeable and taught with love for their craft!
Great place staff is very nice my son loves it!!!!
Gracie Barra West Lancaster staff is very welcoming and structured. Evelyn is just great with communication their instructors are top tier👌They attend to my son’s needs and make sure he learns and understands the lessons starting from the basic. I would definitely recommend them because their business is family oriented and shout out to coach Andrew! 🙌
Honestly one of the best places to give you and your kids a major confidence boost! The coaches and staff truly make every individual feel important and heard. Even all the classmates who are higher ranked make sure to take the time and go over any technique you may be having trouble on. Hands down the only place I would recommend to learn awesome jujitsu!
I love this place! Staff and coaches are amazing!
Amazing and friendly staff, enjoyed my time as a student learning. Would recommend to anyone that is getting into the sport or is looking to get a good workout in. More fun than it looks!!
From the coaches to the facility and the structured instruction, everything here is a blast to be a part of!
The time my boys went to Gracie Barra they had a wonderful experience. They learn a lot. We recently canceled their membership due to scheduling difficulties so they are not able to come in consistently. But the instructors and and staff are very friendly. If you can sign up and you will learn a lot. Thank you:
My son has been going to this gym for many years. The coaches are some of the nicest people you'll ever come across. They are great with kids! It's been fun to watch my son's skills grow and have him gain confidence on the mat. They are also very family oriented and do many fun events throughout the year to build a strong sense of community with their athletes. Summer BBQ, Parent Night Out, Trunk or Treating, Movie days at the Gym, etc. It's really nice to have fun events to go to beyond the training days.
Where to start? My family has been @ Gracie Barra West Lancaster for 3 years now. We all train here as a family. There is not enough space here to express my satisfaction, but I will try. Let’s start with the atmosphere. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed like dearly loved family members. The owners and staff treated us with utmost respect and kindness. The culture here is that of brotherhood/sisterhood and a “family” atmosphere. Respect is upheld and love of others permeates throughout. It’s contagious here. Being here genuinely makes you a better person, both mentally and physically. The facility itself is always clean and welcoming. Mats are free of dirt and debris, cleaned often, I feel comfortable on them. Now for training & coaches. Well, let’s just say they are some of the most patient, kind and encouraging coaches and professors I’ve ever met. They take time to explain technique (even if they have to do it repeatedly for students like me) over and over again as to be sure their students are learning and growing. In jiujitsu you never loose, you either win or learn. Although winning is great, that’s not what they preach. They emphasize growth, development and a passionate love for the sport. It’s spread and taught in all the classes from the little champions classes all the way up through the Adults classes. Being a woman on the mats (and there aren’t many of us), I always feel respected and cared for. I do train with men, and I have never ever felt threatened or in danger. Challenged to work hard, yes, they don’t go easy on me. But, they also don’t try to hurt me. Again, respect for others is a major theme in the culture here. I would absolutely recommend looking in to training here. Once you start, you’ll never want to stop. My husband, kids and I genuinely love spending time here. We can’t get enough of Gracie Barra West Lancaster. It’s our happy place.
Gracie Barra West Lancaster has been an incredible experience for me. The positive environment and family-oriented atmosphere make it such a great place to train. The coaches are not only skilled and knowledgeable but also patient and encouraging. As a bigger guy, I struggle, but the hype and guidance I get on the mat, make me feel like I belong and I love that. One thing that I admire the most is, the coaches do so good of a job as teachers, that I've notice it transfers to the trainees. For example, I would feel bad teaming up with someone knowing I'd have to go alot slower and they would lose a day of training with someone who would give them a good session but they were such good sports about it and we're mini coaches themselves and our time that day became a good session for both of us! That comes from who they learned from, so kudos to all the teachers in this facility! Lastly, The sense of community and support from everyone here is unmatched. I’m truly proud to be part of this amazing jiu jitsu family. Highly recommend! Come by sometime 🤙🏻
I just wanted to share a quick review. My son started here a year ago and had so much fun doing this and on top of that has built up his confidence. If you are thinking about joining here I would recommend it!!! The staff and coaches here are amazing and so nice…
I absolutely loved training with everyone here! Professor Nathan not only has a great name, but his heart for jiu-jitsu was evident. I highly recommend this gym to anyone!
Amazing place, the coaches are so welcoming, informative and supportive. I like how they have more than one to coach to go around and help the children. I would highly recommend this place!
My daughter has been coming here since they opened. Professor, coaches and staff have been amazing!! She has not just learned Jiu-Jitsu but has also learned life morals and values! Thanks Professor Nathan for all you do!
I’ve been to many jiu jitsu schools from New York to California. I’ve never had such a loving, growing and caring school in my life. From the day I was greeted as I watched from the window and the professor walked outside with a smile and invited me in. I was intimidated at first to enter but with such a warm smile that confronted me… I couldn’t say no. The love and positivity that is shared in this special place is unmatched . This isn’t your average place … it’s magical and has given me the confidence and love that can never be broken. If you have an itch to try them out… please go and get your free lesson. Your life will change immediately!!!!!
GBWL is wonderful. My son loves training here. The coaches are professional, patient, and kind. They make attending class fun for the kids and also for the parents watching. Thank you Mrs. Evelyn for the warm welcome, we are happy to be here.
A real family approach to teaching respect, discipline, and strength of character. Students develop confidence that follows them in all aspects of life.
Professor, I have family that lives in Lancaster and, are recommending them to your school. I just received my black belt under professors Ana Laura and Rafael Pinto. But as of the year I recently moved to Vegas from California and train at West Vegas. I know that they will be in goods hands at your school.
I've been training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu now for over 13 years so I am very picky about schools I would train at or allow my kids to train at. For any of you who are trying to get in shape, wanting to learn self defense or just wanting to start a new hobby, Gracie Barra West Lancaster is by far the best school to train at in the antelope valley. They focus on cultivating a family friendly environment so you can be assured that safety is their number one priority and nobody is trying to hurt you. Professor Nate really cares about his students and is one of the most detailed and technical instructors I know. Whether you are an absolute beginner or an advanced practitioner and no matter what size or shape you are, invest in yourself and your health and check out GB West Lancaster and join the team.
I have been at Gracie Barra Lancaster for about five years now with my family and I would never think about training anywhere else !!! Professor Nathan and Evelyn have always made us feel like family and they’ve created such an inviting atmosphere for Everyone.
If I could give more than five stars I would! At GB West Lancaster the coaches are amazing, the staff is great, and the overall environment is welcoming and family focused. I’d recommend GBWL to anyone looking for classes to boost self confidence, learn how to defend yourself, and gain lasting friendships.
My kids love coming to their class. Professors and Coaches are always friendly and with a smile on their faces.
Great clean and safe environment for all ages and levels, thank you.
To Professor Nathan and the entire Wilcox Family - thank you for creating a culture of inclusion, professionalism, and fun to allow our children to grow and thrive! We truly appreciate everything you do for our school and the Lancaster community!
My 6 year old son began attending the kids classes in the summer of 2021. Professor Nate and Coach Daniel are great instructors and it shows in my son's confidence . They're very patient with the little ones. Thank you
Amazing. Family oriented environment and is a great place for kids to meet new friends. Owners are friendly and also the people who go there. BJJ is one of the best thing that has happened in my life.
Unmatched kids program, patient and very detailed in teaching the techniques. Experienced instructors in this academy, highly recommend this academy for kids and adults alike.
We have worked with Professor Nate to increase the value of our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program. His knowledge and skill are definitely unmatched! We drive 3 hours with our team to train with his team, and will continue to do so. His gym is worth the drive and we find the upmost value on his programs! Don’t look any further for quality Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Lancaster!
Best jiu-jitsu school in the A.V 🥋💯
The environment is so friendly! I went to several BJJ gyms in the Antelope Valley area after relocating, and Gracie Barra West Lancaster owned by Professor Nathan is by far the best choice!
The best place to train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the Antelope Valley.
Let me first say that I'm a single father and scheduling can be difficult at times to getting my kid to the class. So if my kid missed, she didn't get make-up classes. And when you sign their contract they don't tell you that if you want to cancel you have to do it 60 days prior to the last day, (read the small print and dont sign) So because school and homework was more important for my kid, I had to cancel. I have over 30 classes I could not attend and over $500 dollars I cannot get refunded for. I tried calling to cancel and they don't answer and when you do get ahold of them it's because you had to call multiple times. Horrible way to run a business and not a good way to get returning customers or have good word of mouth. I wanted to take my daughter back there but that will not be happening. If you want to get taken advantage of and have your hard earned money taken from you, this is the place for you. I highly do not recommend this this place.
