We were on the hunt for an elite BJJ gym that would provide our children with the perfect environment to thrive, be challenged, and build confidence. This gym has exceeded every expectation, offering not just top-tier coaching but an incredible community of like-minded, goal-driven individuals. Slowly, my husband joined as well, and as a woman and mother, I’m so grateful for the women’s class. Professora Priscilla has created a safe, empowering environment where women can train and grow. Whether you’re searching for a gym for your children or for yourself, stop looking. Come visit and see it for yourself—this is the place where you’ll find everything you’re looking for and more. Don’t wait—take the first step and join this amazing community today!

This place is so great; the atmosphere, the inclusivity, the coaches (Korey, Dean, Abe) and Professors (Juan, Roberto) are phenomenal and really push you to be your best in the least anxiety-inducing way possible. I would’ve quit a long time ago if it were not for them and the people that train here alongside me.

GB Jacksonville is a great place for kids and adults! You don’t just get in a workout and learn self-defense. You make friends. Coach Dean does an amazing job teaching kids jiujitsu, while instilling discipline and respect in them. And all of the kids’ coaches keep it fun and patiently work with the kids to help them develop and grow. Professor Juan and Professor Justin don’t just explain how to do a move but when and why you may want to use it. The whole GB Jacksonville team wants to see everyone learn and succeed. I couldn’t recommend this business enough if you’re looking for a place to learn jiujitsu or self-defense.

Gracie Barra is an incredible gym for all ages to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Classes are well-structured with knowledgeable instructors focused on teaching effective techniques in a safe-environment. Advanced classes are available to more advanced practitioners that want to push themselves harder and learn more complex concepts. Joining GB Jacksonville has been one of the best decisions that I have ever made.

I have been wrestling for most of my life, and I have long wanted to join a gym to learn the craft of Jiu Jitsu. Through my time here so far I have been welcomed into a house built on respect for each other and a culture of martial excellence. All of the instructors have given me the attention I needed to excel in this craft and I could not be more happy with my experience.

Love this Brazilian Jujitsu gym! My daughter and I have both trained here and it has been a huge wake-up call to how out of shape I am lol. The owners and instructors are all very kind, patient, and motivational: They take their time to demonstrate techniques and I never feel put on the spot or uncomfortable practicing even with the higher-level trainees. It’s a fun class with high energy, passionate teachers and students and I felt at home the moment I walked in. Best bjj gym in Jax!

Our family was interested in trying martial arts so I looked around Jax for a place that offered Brazilian jiu jitsu for adults and children and found Gracie Barra. They have a big new facility on the Southside and the instructors are great, which we appreciate since we are beginners. Me and my wife and kids have been attending for almost a year and we all love it. They also have personal training that I’ve been doing with Juan, which has helped me both learn jiu jitsu skills and get in shape. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a BJJ gym in Jacksonville, FL!

My kids had been going to Gracie Barra Jax for a while and loved it. And I loved how great the instructors were and the place had a genuine FAMILY feel to it. One day while waiting to pick one of the kiddos up I thought "Why am I not doing this?" After thinking of at least a dozen reasons I shouldn't, I just bit the bullet. I was here all the time anyway and I desperately needed to shed some of the weight I'd gained during COVID. I set an ambitious goal to lose 25 lbs. A year later now, I have lost 49 lbs and am feeling better than I did 25 years ago! I'm still not that great at Jiu Jitsu, but I am slowly seeing progress and my confidence is growing. I've made great friends and love learning from such an amazing staff (especially Professor Juan, Coach Korey, and Coach Mackenzie) who push me hard but never make me feel like a failure. Gracie Barra Jax is just... special. It has changed my life.

I moved to Jacksonville just over a year ago and tried a few different academies before I came here but I chose Gracie Barra because of the variety of classes they had to offer including gi, no gi, wrestling, kickboxing and they even have their own gym equipment if you wanted to come in and get your own workout in! Another plus is that your membership allows you to train at ANY Gracie Barra school around the world. Also, I love the energy and its a super friendly environment! My experience has been nothing but positive since I started coming here. The professors and coaches are wonderful and they are all very passionate about the sport and teaching. They are always willing to help and answer any questions you may have about techniques. They are extremely supportive and they will push you to be your very best, ESPECIALLY if you want to compete or fight. Highly recommend!

Thus far for over 2 1/2 years we have enjoyed our experience with Gracie Barra of Jacksonville. Our son is in the GBK2 kids class, and loves all his sessions especially sparring and private lessons. This gym is spacious, clean, and the entire staff and coaches are great to work and communicate with. This is the perfect outlet for obtaining self-defense training and is a confidence booster. Shout outs in particular to Professor Roberto, Coaches - Korey, Juan, Hector, Rob and Bobby for their patience with training the kids

Gracie Barra Jax (GB) is an excellent choice for those interested in Jiu Jitsu and Kickboxing. I trained at GB in 2016 and have returned after a hiatus. The facility is spacious and well maintained. The staff members are professional and welcoming. The curriculum is consistent and challenging, but doable regardless of skill-level. Overall GBJ is one of the best martial arts schools to train at in town.

My son and I have been training at GB JAX for some time now. From the first day we walked thru the doors the staff welcomed us as if we're family. They are very professional and take the time to make sure you train properly, they explain each move in detail. During the recent events with COVID-19 we received a personal phone call to check up on us and see if there was anything they can assist with. If you are looking to train in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, kickboxing, or wrestling i would say to stop looking and come on in the GB JAX.

Gracie Barra Jacksonville is truly a wonderful facility! Whether you’re looking for self defense, children’s classes or instruction from beginner to higher level jiu jitsu competition training, this is the best place to be in Jacksonville. My 10 year old daughter and I recently relocated from California, and have been warmly welcomed into this new jiu jitsu family. My daughter is enjoying the kid’s class, and I have found the adult class to be friendly yet challenging. The instructors/staff are attentive, knowledgable, and professional. Further knowledge and skill is brought to the table due to the diverse backgrounds of the instructors in not only in jiu jitsu but MMA and wrestling as well. If you’re searching for a place to begin or continue look no further!

I’ve never practiced a contact sport such as Jiu-Jitsu before, I just didn’t think I had the physique for it. I joined Gracie Barra to please my husband really but here I am, several months later, and really enjoying it. I am impressed about many things; the professors, each with their unique style which makes it fun and refreshing. The other more advanced students are also very kind and helpful with the new students. The curriculum is not just BJJ. There are Muay Thai classes and some of the advanced students are practicing their MMA training. The kids classes are a riot- it’s a lot of fun seeing the little ones practice. The core exercises and physical conditioning aside, the classes are great and I could not recommend this academy enough! Sure, it’s not for everyone but try to stick with it. You’ll be surprised how good it is to meet these people and much much it feels like a very large family. And the GB students of Jacksonville seem to win most competitions. It’s a good place.
