All I can say is WOW! Our family was on the verge of signing up with another school and fortunately found Carlsbad Jujitsu just in time. The moment we walked in, we could feel the positive energy! While we’ve only just started with the school, it’s already been an INCREDIBLE experience. Aaron runs a clean, tight, friendly and fun ship. He knows all of the students by name, is super intentional with each interaction, and is just an all around amazing human. The sign up process is simple, the membership is affordable, and the requirements are flexible. Even every fellow member we’ve interacted with has been friendly, easy to talk to, and welcoming toward our family. The environment is absolutely beautiful, filled with respect, and the ratio of instructors to students they’ve chosen also fosters true learning. I could probably write a full 5 paragraphs on how impressed we are but I’ll spare you. 😄 We are so fortunate to have found Aaron and the Carlsbad Jujitsu team!

Their expertise is evident as they break down techniques with precision and patience, catering to both beginners and advanced practitioners.

The instruction is great and the staff and students are respectful, caring and awesome. They have plenty of mat space and a suspension floor that is a dream to train on. We have quite a few competitive students and competitors but I feel the vibe here is more for hobbyists--working professionals that can't afford to get injured and want to train in a fun, friendly environment. They also have an excellent kids program and kids competition team. I highly recommend giving Carlsbad BJJ a try.

Nearly seven years later and I feel the same way about Carlsbad Jiu Jitsu. Professors Aaron and Elijah are amazing instructors guiding students along their Jiu Jitsu journey. The vibe at the gym is wonderful with a wide variety students at different skill levels and sizes. The gym is impeccably clean with plenty of ventilation and mat space. ***2017*** Gracie Barra Carlsbad is the best jiu jitsu studio period. Professor Aaron, who runs it, is an incredibly positive person and a wonderful teacher. As a father to a daughter and son who both participate, I can't imagine a better, more family friendly environment.

I began training at Carlsbad Jiu Jitsu about two and a half years ago. I started my jiu jitsu journey as a result of a great deal of encouragement from friends who train there. I was anxious at the beginning, having never been involved in any sport of this nature. I tend not to be an aggressive person and it all seemed so intimidating! I was so wonderfully surprised to be welcomed into the gym by the professors and those who'd been training there for years. From day one, I've been given so much patience and encouragement to stick with and to grow more with each session. Carlsbad Jiu Jitsu provides a positive environment for both newbies and those much further along on the journey. It also needs to be mentioned that there are several women who train there! This has certainly played a role in my desire to train and my comfort doing so. That said, the men I have trained with there have been incredibly respectful and kind, adjusting their training to my level and size. I have only positive things to report about this gym!

I am grateful to have found this place for my daughter. She loves training with her friends here and has really thrived in this focused but fun environment. Jiu Jitsu is a kinetic activity, but my daughter feels safe on these mats because everyone here is expected to be respectful and worthy of respect - which is key to maintaining an environment where you can trust each other. One of the reasons that we chose to come here was that this place allows for continual growth and development. The youth classes balance discipline, exercise, and play, there is a competition team for kids who are really excited about advancing, the adult classes feature camaraderie and skilled practitioners, and all who are interested are well prepared for participating in tournaments. I can see that she will be able to continue training here as she gets older which could be challenging for girls at many places. Additionally, all classes are well populated, which means that there are always enough training partners. Many of the kids that my daughter trains with have been coming here for 5 or more years - some of them with their entire families. That so many people have been loyal to this place for so long is testament to the relationships that they build here as well as to the strength of the programs they offer. Also, Professor Aaron, Professor Elijah, and all of the coaches are strong, patient teachers. I am impressed with the way that they structure lessons and provide valuable coaching with the goal of helping each student improve. The instructors know the members’ skill levels and personalities and take care to make sure that each person is challenged while remaining comfortable. It is this aspect of Carlsbad Jiu Jitsu that really sets it apart. I really do feel lucky that my daughter ended up here. Jiu Jitsu has become an important part of her personal journey and I trust these people to guide her.

Lots of mat space in a brightly lit spacious and clean professionally run academy. Professors Aaron and Elijah do a tremendous job of breaking down techniques and pointing out the details that make all the difference. They really take the time to connect with students, foster a positive culture and encourage new students to succeed on their jiu jitsu journey. Classes range from fundamentals, to advanced techniques, competition classes to prepare for tournaments, and both no gi and gi jiu jitsu. The value for the monthly dues is excellent.

They have become more successful in school and their other sports because of the lessons learned from Aaron. Aaron and his coaches treat the competition kids the same as they treat the kids just doing it for fun or to prevent bullying. I highly recommend this gym for anyone from 5 years old to 50 and above.

Gracie Barra Carlsbad has a great family vibe. But if you are competitive they also have staff and students that roll at that level. The lineage in this studio is close to the source: Mitsuyo Maeda > Carlos Gracie Sr. > Carlos Gracie Junior > Nelson Monteiro > Rafael "Foquinha" Ramos > Aaron Collins. The techniques taught here are a mix of both old school and new school to be able to defend or compete with different types of martial arts. My brother and nephews train at this gym and it has been part of their daily lives. Gracie Barra Carlsbad is a positive place to be if you ever need to lift your spirits. Aaron and each and everyone of his staff have different techniques and experiences to offer. Reviews is one way to find a home gym, but stepping on the mat and rolling with these guys will get you hooked right away! Come roll with our FAMILY!

I have been bringing my kids here for several years and we have had a fantastic experience. Professor Aaron is a wonderful teacher for children and adults alike. The facility is clean and a great environment for families. I highly recommend Gracie Barra Carlsbad.

I've been training Jiu-Jitsu with Gracie Barra for about 8 years now and split my time between the Encinitas and Carlsbad locations. Gracie Barra Carlsbad is home away from home for myself and my son. Everyone is super friendly on and off the mats and I can honestly say that these people are like family to me. Watching Aaron rolling and submitting guys twice his size is proof that his technique is on point and the coaching staff is top notch as well. First timers have nothing be intimidated about, everyone is made to feel welcome and there are people from all walks of life there to share their love of Jiu-Jitsu. All it takes is one time and you'll be hooked!

Professor Aaron and his team of coaches are top-notch. My 6 year old daughter and 4 year old son attend 4 days a week and they absolutely love it. They started in August of 2016 and have met and bonded with so many other great kids. The coaches are patient and give the kids the right amount of encouragement and discipline. They know each child's name and their level. The classes are very structured but also very fun at the same time. It's such a positive environment here and my children have definitely benefited from it. Thank You Gracie Barra Carlsbad!!

Been training here for about two and a half years now and I absolutely love coming here. First of all, every single coach makes you feel welcome and comfortable from first walking through the door to stepping off the mats. Everyone here is so caring and friendly. The kids program is extremely fun and I can guarantee that you and/or your family will have a blast here!

My husband and I started training at Gracie Barra Carlsbad 1 year ago and it has been a life-changing experience for the both of us. Professor Aaron is such an awesome professor that truly cares about each and every person at the gym. Since we have started training at Gracie Barra Carlsbad, we have met many like-minded people that we now consider close friends. I recommend GB Carlsbad to anyone wanting to try out jiu jitsu and have nothing but positive things to say about Aaron and this gym!

My wife and I started training at Gracie Barra Carlsbad with Professor Aaron a little over a year ago, and it has been one of the best decisions we have made. Professor Aaron is one of the most professional and respectful people and has an endless knowledge of jiu jitsu that he is enthusiastic to share with his students. The culture of the gym is outstanding - and there are no egos or tough guys - it truly is a family gym. Everyone training at GB Carlsbad is there to expand and share their knowledge with other members of the gym. I highly recommend this gym and Professor Aaron to anyone wanting to learn an awesome martial art. I can't wait until my son is old enough to enroll in the kids class.
