Womens program/ community has also grown as well. Everyone has worked really hard to be welcoming of everyone and to make it a safe place to be able to train. 5 more stars if I could!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gracie Barra Guildford is adding so much good to our family. I really appreciate how GB offers a structured and standardized approach to Jiu-Jitsu, and how seriously the staff take it.

What has impacted me the most is the focus on body awareness and the anti-bullying culture they cultivate with the kids. My son has been benefiting so much from it, alhamdulillah.

The coaches and staff are great with the kids and really put effort into teaching more than just jiu-jitsu.

They focus a lot on respect, discipline, confidence, and good values, which we really appreciate as parents.

It’s a very positive and welcoming environment, and we’ve had nothing but a great experience here. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get their kids into jiu-jitsu.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gracie Barra is one of the best decisions I have ever made for my kids. The coaches are all amazing , they genuinely care about each student and uplift confidence in each child. They are patient and ensure everyone is not only learning but enjoying each class. My daughter has always been so shy and quiet, the amount of confidence I have seen in her since she has started, is worth every penny! I have also done my research and they have the most affordable plans, they have after school programs and always have fun events for the kids and adults! Great place, they really make you feel like your apart of a great team. My kids love love it!
