I have 3 children who attend Gracie Ibarra in Downey. It's the best place you can go! My kids have learned so much not to mention discipline and better focus. Coach Chris is awesome and the rest of the coaches are pretty cool.

Professor Andrew and Coach Chris are Amazing Brazilian Jiu-jitsu instructors! My 5-year old daughter and I train here when we come down from San Diego to visit family. If you are looking for a positive environment that encourages your child to become a humble, confident, physically & mentally strong individual, then this is the place for your child! My daughter always looks forward towards training here and the quality of technique instruction and feedback is something I thoroughly enjoy when I am personally training in their program. Definitely come down and take advantage of their Free 1-day pass to experience their great Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training program!

Gracie Barra Downey is not only a friendly enviroment but a safe one. I have been trsining there for 9 months, and i have never felt better! The coaches and staff are great always positive and in a great mood. I liked this gym so much that i introduced my wife to bjj and muy thai,someone who has never had any training and she loved it! She has been going for about 4 months now. Every time i class ends i never want to leave, between the coaches like coach chris and the other students you wont want to leave you'll just want to stay and hangout with your friends!

I seldom write reviews, however I felt compelled to share my opinion about Gracie Barra Downey. The facility and coaches are seriously top-notch! It's a fun, clean and welcoming environment. Chris Guzman is beyond helpful and his dedication to its members is apparent in his teaching and coaching! I HIGHLY recommend Gracie Barra Downey. Whether you're new to the Jiu-Jitsu game or a skilled competitor, it's a great place to have fun and learn. Two thumbs up!

My son was a student of Coach Chris when he was teaching in Whittier. I have never met a more humble individual who was willing to go out of his way to make sure the kids where not only learning martial arts but life lessons. My son has moved on to a different sport but he still talks about Coach Chris!! Thank you for teaching my son to be the best version of himself he could be!!! Coach Chris and his staff are about building people up and not just "knocking them down". ☺
