Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is known as the "gentle art." It encourages students to use their opponents' own power against them as opposed to using sheer brute force. The goal of a match is not to disable your opponent, but simply to have them submit (tap out). This results in fewer injuries than other types of martial arts and allows students to develop their skills to perfection.
You do not need to be the larger or stronger person in order to win a match - instead, the person with better technique finds victory at our school. Your first class can be scheduled online, over the phone or as a walk-in. Simply arrive about 15 minutes early, so we have enough time to get you checked in and complete the necessary paperwork.

Great studio, very clean- as in you can smell the clean. My husband and son both come here for training. The coaches and professors are very knowledgeable from beginner through advanced. The kids program is also awesome! They are very patient, although they encourage advancement and competiveness, they equally encourage respect and responsibility. Highly recommend!

Best BJJ class ever! My 7 year old daughter loves it! She started only a week ago and can already see her maturity transform. Her confidence is up and she is so much more focused at school. Coach Alex is great with kids! You can tell Professor Milton's passion to teach the youth. Gracie Barra BJJ is all about respect, Team and anti-bullying! Only encouragement over here. No negativity.. all positive! Thank you Gracie Barra West Anaheim for giving my daughter the proper training and teaching her to have the confidence to love herself even more!

My daughter has been attending this BJJ gym since they opened over a year ago. She started out in the Lil Champs class, and is now in the Junior/Teen class.
Her progression has been wonderful. Aside from the hard skills of BJJ she has learned, her self confidence and her competitive desire have increased immensely.
Currently with Professor Milton, she enjoys her time here. The positive coaching staff is very supportive of her, and its great to see she is making new friends while learning about the finer points of BJJ.
We happen to live down the street from this gym, but even if we moved

This gym has a perfect setup for children and adults in all levels and age to learn self defense. They teach grappling (Jiu-jitsu) which can be applied to a real life situation. The facility is brand new with state of the art flooring that is very soft. The floor has extra thick mats that lay over memory foam making these mats the best for practicing self defense.
If your looking for a high energy cardio class or if your trying to learn self defense, give this gym a try. Once you do it you will be hooked 100%. Guaranteed
You can schedule a free class on- line or call and ask for Pat Cahill

Honestly the coaches are amazing people. Not only do they teach the kids discipline but they genuinely care for them. Coach Ashleigh and Coach Patrick are really invested in making sure the kids get the right training and go above and beyond their duties to make sure the parents and kids are satisfied.
I highly recommend this place.

A family friendly atmosphere with great Professors and Coaches. Definitely ideal for those looking to challenge themselves or get in shape or for self defense. The sooner you start training the better off you will be on and off the mats. If you are a parent, you should put your kids into this school as well. They will learn valuable lessons that will help them become better kids.
