(Gracie Barra West Vancouver )You guys are amazing! Thank you so much for all the effort, energy, and joy you put into the Jui Jitsu classes ,the programs and for making it such a wonderful experience for our kids! We truly appreciate everything you do! ❤️
Great place for both kids and adults to practice jiu-jitsu! Friendly atmosphere, excellent staff, and a welcoming environment. Highly recommend this place!
Joining Gracie Barra West Vancouver has been one of the best decisions I've made this year.
At almost 52 years old, with existing knee and back injuries, I was very hesitant to start Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I had been putting it off for over a year because I was worried about making my injuries worse. My two daughters had already been training here for about 1.5 years, and when my older daughter moved into the adult classes, I decided it was time for me to step onto the mats as well.
From day one, the coaches and team members made me feel welcome, supported, and safe. Everyone has been incredibly respectful of my physical limitations and has helped me train at my own pace. The instructors genuinely care about their students and take the time to ensure everyone can progress safely, regardless of age or fitness level.
After only one month of training, I already feel stronger, more confident, and more capable than I expected. Not only has Jiu-Jitsu improved me physically, but it has also had a positive impact on my mindset and overall well-being.
One of the greatest benefits has been sharing this journey with my daughters. Training together has created a special bond and allows me to support them as they continue their own Jiu-Jitsu journey.
If you're considering Jiu-Jitsu but think you're too old, out of shape, or dealing with injuries, don't let that stop you. Gracie Barra West Vancouver has shown me that there is a place for everyone on the mats. I highly recommend this academy to anyone looking to improve themselves mentally, physically, and personally.
This is by far one of the best studios we have been to. The entire staff from the owner to the instructors are amazing. They are extremely patient and knowledgeable. You can tell this is not just a business but a true passion for all of those that work there. If you are looking for a new studio or just want to try it out, I recommend you make this your first stop. You will not be disappointed.
Gracie Barra West Vancouver is an amazing place to train! Coach Josh is great—super knowledgeable, supportive, and always encouraging. The environment is friendly and welcoming, making it easy to feel comfortable no matter your skill level. I had no martial arts experience prior to joining, but from day one, I felt supported and motivated to learn. Most importantly, it's a safe and respectful space to train. I've been here for three months and truly enjoy the challenge of improving every class. Highly recommend!
Recently visited family in town and decided to drop in for some classes .. I was beyond impressed with this gym!! The level of cleanliness maintained throughout the gym was spotless, and it was evident that they take sanitation & hygiene very seriously.
I took a class with Coach Josh & he was very knowledgable and patient with someone very new to this sport. Also, the people I took the class with were helping me through the process making it more comfortable for me! Definitely thinking about becoming a member if the drive wasn't too far!! Check this place out, you won't regret it!
I am only a few months into my BJJ journey and have loved every minute of it! As a 40+ year old beginner it was important I found a gym that I was comfortable at. After trying a few this one stood out. Safe, fun, great workout, talented coaches, a great group of members all keen to learn and help each other. The facility is in a great location, no issues with parking or traffic and close to the beach for a post class cold plunge! I couldn’t be happier to be part of this incredible community. My two daughters also joined and love it!
