Gracie Barra Rancho Santa Margarita
The mission of Gracie Barra Rancho Santa Margarita Jiu-Jitsu is to improve the lives of the people in the South Orange County area including Rancho Santa Margarita, Coto de Caza, Mission Viejo, Las Flores, and surrounding communities in Orange County, California through the value-centered martial art of Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and the Jiu-Jitsu healthy lifestyle.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is often likened to a game of human chess. If you don't like to work out at a gym because you get bored, you're not alone. Many of our students were tired of going to the gym, and they couldn't find new songs or audio books to entertain them on the treadmill. They found BJJ to be the perfect workout because it requires a high level of concentration proportional to the amount of calories burned and pounds lost.

We’ve had our 5 and 7 year old kids here since Feb 2021. The staff is very attentive. There is typically up to 4 black belt professors per session, so there is plenty of supervision for the kids. Excellent instructions and deep pride in the name GB. Definitely recommend.

There is nothing better than a supportive and inclusive community, GB RSM provides that for both kids and adults. The instructors are world class in jiu jitsu and at the same time down to earth. They are friendly and are able to communicate details in a very digestible manner. We moved to RSM a year ago because of the sense of community it provides and GB RSM has provided that for both my son and I. Jiu Jitsu is something that becomes a big part of your life and spending that time with amazing people makes every second enjoyable!

One of the best Gracie gym out there. A lot of great professors and plenty of room for all the students to learn. The professors truly care about their students. My son loves it here and has made a lot of new friends. There's a lot of kids for my son to train with, which is great. It's definitely one big family at this location. I highly recommend it.

Amazing place to train, whether you’re looking to train a couple times per week to get in shape or daily to prepare for competition. The professors are very high level and they’re great with both the kids and adults alike; They have a knack for helping people of all skill level.

Kayron Gracie runs this school -- one of the best jiu-jitsu practitioners in the world. And the gym is impeccably clean, the fellow students are respectful/polite, and the training/workout is just the right level of intensity. 5 stars all day, every day.

The instructors at GB not only teach my 6 year old son BJJ, they also have taught him respect for himself and others. I would definitely recommend this facility to any adult or anyone with children, it's a place for everyone.

It's not everyday that you get to learn from a World Champion. Kayron Gracie is a very technical instructor with a wealth of knowledge. Also, the new location is awesome and huge. Great school!!

Whether you're 8 or 58, this is a great place to train. My son and I both train here and we really enjoy it. It's a good physical and mental workout which is why I like this far better than going to a gym. The instructors and students are all very kind, and patient. I encourage kids, mom's, and dad's to give it a try, it's a lot of fun!
