Barrick Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is Goshen's first Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school. Head instructor and 2nd-degree black belt Bryan Barrick has been teaching the martial art in the Elkhart County area since 1998, shortly after conducting the first tournament in Northern Indiana. We strive to help each student, adult or child, reach their full potential and goals.
Whether you want to be a serious tournament competitor, learn to defend yourself, or just get in shape, our school is right for you! We have countless success stories, from tournament champs to students commonly noticing increased vitality, energy, dramatic weight loss, increased self-confidence, and an overall improved state of mind.

Services
Adults will learn a very effective form of self defense, get in shape and lose weight. If your tired of the same old exercise routines or you've always wanted to try a martial art system but none appealed to you, come give BJJ a try. Our experience with Barrick Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu over the last year and a half has been a great one.
Our Kids program focuses on teaching our students jiu jitsu in a safe, rewarding environment in which personal growth and technical improvement are encouraged. Besides learning jiu jitsu, we teach our students discipline, respect for others and the importance of healthy living. Children will learn self-defense techniques, build confidence and self-discipline.
Head instructor Walter "Bud" Wilson has an impressive 25-4 record and has been coaching boxing, both adults, and kids, for many years. Is your goal to get in the ring and test your skills? Want to learn boxing for self-defense purposes? We can help you reach your goals. Full contact sparring is optional, so if you just want to learn how to box and get a great workout that's fine too.
If you're anxious about your first class, don't be. No matter your experience or physical ability we will meet you at your level and teach accordingly. If you're completely new to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu you'll be focusing on fundamental techniques at first. If you're an experienced BJJ practitioner you'll be allowed to spar at the discretion of the instructor.

Best dojo I've ever witnessed. Feels like family, no judgement, all support and knowledge for growth. I drive 45 minutes to be apart of the best dojo around. My little guy is involved with the kid classes and I absolutely love what this gym has to offer 🙌 the teacher is the best, down to earth, not intimidating at all. Super friendly and inviting.

My daughter has attended Barrick Jujitsu for over five years. This is the only activity she has kept in her schedule this long. She feels included and empowered in this dojo and Brian has everything to do with that sentiment. As a parent, I have seen her confidence grow and she’s proud of her self defense skills, which is particularly important as a female. I have no reservations in recommending Barrick jujitsu for children or adults. My husband also enjoyed Bryan’s instruction that built upon his prior martial arts experience in judo and karate. It’s a healthy atmosphere where learning and

Great place to train at the moment you walk in you feel right at home. When first started I told Bryan I was only gonna be there for 3 months cause I had other plans he said that's fine we'll work with for 3 months no problem I started the following week, not once did Bryan treating me different becuse I was only gonna be there for a short period of time. He made me feel part of the team part of a family. And his students now my teammates made feel welcome. After few classes I knew I had found my place I've been there 3 years now... Highly recommend everyone there will take their time to help each

Bryan is a great teacher and made me feel at home as a complete beginner. I was nervous, but now I look forward to every training session. Everyone that I have trained with so far at Barrick BJJ has been extremely friendly and very helpful. I never thought I would enjoy training a martial art as much as I enjoy training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

My boys (ages 10 & 11) and I thoroughly enjoy coming every week. What Bryan, and those in the class, bring to mixed martial arts is more than a "class" it's a family. If you're in the Goshen area and want to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu then this is place to attend hands down. First class all the way around!
