Gracie Barra Newport Beach Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts

Awesome place great training great location. These guys doing a fantastic job. Was in Newport for the weekend came here as a traveler from another GB. Got great tips for competition and good rolls all around. Special thanks to prof Saul and whole staff and students for being so welcoming. Definitely hit this place up if your in Newport.

I started jiu jitsu here as a means to get in shape and learn a new skill and it was initially a really great experience! I was welcomed with open arms and learned quite a bit as a baby white belt!I decided to switch schools for a few reasons: 1) the price increase yet I’ve discovered the curriculum is not better than many other schools in the area 2) a high turnover rate among staff (I personally benefit from consistency among coaches) and 3) recent information that’s come to light about how employees are treated and this location’s business practices. Integrity is important to me.I will always be grateful to Gracie Barra for starting my jiu jitsu journey but I no longer recommend the CDM location.

My son attends the Tiny Champions class and loves it. The instructors are all very patient with the kids and make sure to help each one throughout the course of the class. The only drawback I have is that parking is a little tough at times. No matter, it's a great studio and the only one around that offers the Tiny Champion's classes for kids as young as 3 years old. I have not taken an adult class yet, but I'm looking forward to taking one soon.

Gracie Barra is the most amazing jiujitsu school. Everyone is so kind and friendly, Gracie Barra is a family of loving coaches ready to teach you self defense and jiujitsu technique.

Amazing experience! Professor Saul and professor Kendall along with all the other coaches have been more than genuine. Truly welcomed me into the family and the BJJ community. Look forward to keep developing in this amazing martial art, as well as growing within the family!

Gracie Barra is a great dojo to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The Professor's and Coaches are top notch, and very experienced. They foster an atmosphere of learning, respect, competition (the healthy kind), and inspire confidence.I have been training non-stop since July and my BJJ practice has seen amazing improvement. Coming from a striking background, I find the curriculum to be a challenge and I enjoy learning every day.Clean location in the heart of Corona Del Mar, and a stones throw away from Newport Beach & Laguna Beach. Highly recommended!!

I just started learning jiu jitsu a few months ago and I was very intimidated walking in as a female. I always wanted to learn how to defend myself but it was a little scary to start. I am so glad I was able to start taking lessons at Gracie Barra Newport. All the professors have something different to offer and they all make sure you are very comfortable. After a while your team mates become friends and it become very fun to come to class. It’s a major work out and you often come out feeling accomplished. I can’t empathize how great the staff are. Each professor participates in competitions so you know they are up to date on their stuff! I recommend this facility to all my friends especially if they want to feel confident when walking down the street. If you are scared of going I am telling you to go!

The best place to learn Jiu Jitsu out here. It's a great workout, and an even better student experience. Leadership is quick to set a safe environment where everyone can learn at their own pace, and challenge themselves to whatever extent they choose. They have a safety station to ensure everybody can temperature check and sanitize before practice, and they are extremely flexible with COVID-safe practices. You can mask up, drill on your own, or even get a friend to join with you and only train with them to keep exposure to a minimum!Welcoming environment with great people and staff. Nothing better.

Gracie Barra Newport Beach is a prime training location: Just steps from the beach! The instructors here are top notch. High quality instruction paired with a passion to help their students grow through the healthy jiu jitsu lifestyle. Whether you're looking for a hobby, a competitive sport, or something fun to do as a family, Gracie Barra Newport Beach is the place to go.

We have been attending Gracie Barra Corona for 4 years. The Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai instructors are amazing. My kids adore the instructors. This place is more then a place to train it is a family.
