This is a great place for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu!!! Last spring I started looking for a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school in Huntington Beach where I could begin training. I was a complete beginner to BJJ and I’m an older athlete at 55. I checked out some notable studios in Huntington Beach but one comment that I read prompted me to also check-out Gracie Barra Huntington Beach which at that time had been open for about one year. I made a visit to GBHB and met Professor Otavio Sousa and I signed up to start classes the next day. It was one of the best things that I’ve ever done. Even as an older student

Professor Otavio is a 3x (and current) Black Belt World Champ and he personally teaches every single kids' class. Beyond his amazing achievements and credentials, he is one of the nicest, most humble, and truly encouraging people- you will ever meet. Coach Marina, Professor Otavio's wife, is so lovely, caring, and welcoming with everyone, especially the kids that train here. Her nurturing spirit creates a great balance to the challenges and rigors of learning Jiu-Jitsu. Together, they have created a gym that radiates positive energy and warmth. Their two kids, Yasmin and Pepe, also help to coach

I came to California to train with Otávio Souza. I was there for the fundamental class and then stayed for the advanced class. Some of the best instruction I've gotten in a long time. I had a chance to train with him at the end of the class as well. Extremely talented!!!! I recommend young and old study and train with Otavio!
