Gracie Barra Asheville

Best jiu jitsu school in or around Asheville. People are awesome and take care of each other. Instructors are top notch. Many class options.

GB Asheville is a excellent academy and Professional Josh, coaches, and staff is top notch. Beautiful facility, great vibe, and awesome technical Jiu Jitsu. Highly Recommended! It’s always an honor sharing the mats👊🏼 …

We were in Asheville for a few days so I stopped by for their Saturday open mat class. The staff and students gave me a warm welcome. Great instructors and amazing training partners! Highly recommend this gym for anyone visiting Asheville. I plan on stopping by again the next time we’re in the area. Thanks guys!

Professor Josh is a great instructor and runs a great facility. My son takes classes there and is really enjoying the experience. There are a ton of kids in the kid's classes and they seem to have a very large number of people involved in the adult classes, as well.

Passing through town and wanted to train a bit. Great friendly team. I was early and watched some of the kids class. The instructor is awesome and the kids had a blast. The adult class is technical and fast paced. Thanks for training in Ashville!

My girlfriend and I are from Ohio and we're visiting the Asheville area over the weekend. We wanted to make it a priority to visit Gracie Barra Asheville and train with some of the people here, away from our current academy back home.Couldn't say anything less about the friendly people who welcomed us like family as soon as we walked through the door.I can't speak to the techniques or curriculum, we were just visiting and not actual members. BUT very tough and humble students, very good jujitsu oozing on the mats here.I think If you're interested in taking the journey and looking for a local academy for jiujitsu this would be a solid bet! ✌️Thanks again for letting us stop by!-kyle / Morgan

I came to Asheville for a work trip, ended up dropping in for open mat. I only had no-gi stuff with me due to packing limitations, but Dakota offered to roll with me anyway and then lend me a gi.I had a great time. Everyone was welcoming and accommodating, and the Jiu Jitsu felt great. They have clean bathrooms, a workout/warmup area, free water, and a changing room.Highly recommend this gym. Felt like a friendly atmosphere but also had good technique and some killers. Best of both worlds!-purple belt

Me and a buddy dropped in today from out of town and did the fundamentals class and open mat. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming as soon as we walked in. Very clean and bright gym. The instructor showed 3 techniques that were all solid and was a good communicator. We had a bunch of tough rolls all the students from white belt up had great technique. Definitely plan on paying a visit if you are in the Asheville area looking to get a training session in with some good guys. Thanks again fellas

Highly recommend Gracie Barra Asheville! Professor Josh is an excellent instructor and the gym has a great atmosphere. I recently came back to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu after a 10 year lay off and have been very pleased and impressed with the school. Everyone is welcoming and the classes are great for learning and training.

Great gym! I had the privilege of training here one morning while visiting from out of town. Professor Josh was friendly, authentic and adept at communicating his knowledge in a way that even a lowly white belt like myself could understand. I had such a good experience here, and if I lived in the area, this is where I would want to train. Also was able to meet and learn with/from some really cool people. Definitely hoping to come back when I find myself in Asheville!
