Bren Sotomayor
"...definitely will keep coming back"
"I wasn’t sure about joining Gracie because I already had a gym membership. But BJJ workouts mix up your routine. So glad I joined and definitely will keep coming back."
Kelsey Parrish
"I have seen my son's confidence grow..."
"We are loving Gracie Barra ! The coaches are amazing with the kids and I have seen my son's confidence grow in just the short amount of time that we've been coming here. Having a child with disabilities and seeing him have more confidence in himself is a blessing and every penny spent in this program is worth it."
Melissa Forbes
"the culture here is more like a family environment..."
"My two sons have been training at Gracie Barra for a long time since 2010, the culture here is more like a family environment, everyone is nice and respectful. The coaches are positive role models for my two boys as well as for the rest of the kids and lead by example. The professors and coaches are the best trained and knowledgeable instructors the have encountered, they compete in tournaments worldwide as well as all over the US, and bring that knowledge back to the dojo and pass it on to the adults and our youth. They have classes to accommodate everyone's schedule. I highly recommend this place to everyone!"
Geovanni Moreno
"Our kids have access to world Class coaching and training!"
"We have been training for five years now and it has been great! Professor Tom Reusing and Coaches have created a safe and challenging training environment! Our kids have access to world Class coaching and training! A family friendly academy with opportunities to train with athletes of all levels! I know that this level of dedication to the students and BJJ is evident in all the GBs run by Professor Tom and the Head Instructors at GB Newport Beach!"
