About Gracie Barra Herriman
BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU IN HERRIMAN
Gracie Barra Herriman
Gracie Barra Herriman proudly welcomes students from Herriman, Daybreak, South Jordan, Riverton, Bluffdale, and nearby communities to experience world-class Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training in a safe, family-first place. Our mission is simple: bring high-quality Jiu-Jitsu to the heart of Herriman and build a positive community where kids, teens, and adults can grow, on and off the mats.
When we looked at Herriman, one thing stood out right away: this was a fast-growing city full of families, but it didn’t have a dedicated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school. Many residents who wanted real Jiu-Jitsu training had to drive out of the area to find a program that was structured, consistent, and family-friendly. Then, through a partnership with a local child care, we had the chance to connect closely with Herriman families, and what we heard was clear: people wanted something nearby that helped kids build confidence and discipline, helped adults stay active and safe, and gave the whole family a strong, positive community to belong to.
That’s exactly why Gracie Barra Herriman exists.

Why Gracie Barra Herriman?
More than just a place to train, Gracie Barra Herriman was built to make every student, and every family member, feel welcome from the moment they walk in. Our school features two nice mats with plenty of room to train safely and comfortably, plus a comfortable viewing area where parents, friends, and family can sit and watch classes and feel part of the experience.
We’ve created a clean, cozy, well-organized environment, with thoughtful details that make training easier and more enjoyable:
- Changing rooms and showers, so you can train before/after work, or between errands without stress.
- A kids’ room, where little ones can relax or hang out safely before or after class.
- A GB Wear mini shop stocked with official uniforms, rashguards, and training gear, so you’re always prepared to step on the mats.
At Gracie Barra Herriman, we combine professional, quality facilities with a warm, family-first atmosphere. Whether you’re training hard, starting your first class, or cheering from the sidelines, you’ll feel right at home, and supported every step of the way.
“We’re really excited to bring Gracie Barra to Herriman. We’ll offer the high-level Jiu-Jitsu Gracie Barra is known for, great instructors, a clear curriculum, and a supportive environment for students of all ages.”
Built for busy families (and real life)
Herriman is full of parents juggling schedules, kids with big energy, and adults trying to find something that actually sticks long-term. Our Jiu-Jitsu school in Herriman was designed to make training realistic and enjoyable for the whole household, whether you’re bringing your child to class, training together as a family, or finally doing something for yourself after a long workday.
You’ll find a clean, organized, professional space where students can focus and families feel comfortable. From the moment you walk in, the goal is to make you feel like you belong here.
A top Jiu-Jitsu school in Herriman
Gracie Barra Herriman was created to fill a real need: a dedicated Jiu-Jitsu home in Herriman where families can train consistently without driving across the valley. We’re proud to be part of the local community and excited to build something lasting, a place where kids gain confidence, teens find direction, adults get stronger, and families connect in a positive way.
This isn’t a “trend workout.” It’s a skill you build for life.
Red Shield Founders and Soft Opening
We had a soft opening, welcoming local families to know the school, meet the team, and even give it a try in training. That early phase helped to introduce our Jiu-Jitsu school to Herriman residents and surrounding.
Before our opening, we launched our Red Shield Founders program that recognizes the 50 very first students who joined Gracie Barra Herriman and believed in the vision early. Red Shield Founders aren’t just “early sign-ups”, they’re part of the school’s origin story, helping establish community spirit, and standards that will define this school for years to come.
What’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu All About?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (often called BJJ) is one of the most effective martial arts for real-world self-defense because it’s based on leverage, timing, and technique, not brute strength. You learn how to stay calm under pressure, how to control situations safely, and how to solve problems with your body and mind working together.
Jiu-Jitsu is known as “The Gentle Art” because the goal in training isn’t to hurt your partner, it’s to learn with control. That’s why Jiu-Jitsu is a great fit for kids and adults alike: it’s challenging, but it’s taught with safety, structure, and respect.
And honestly? It’s fun. Jiu-Jitsu feels like chess with your body, every class teaches you something new, and the learning never gets boring.
The Jiu-Jitsu lifestyle (the part people don’t expect)
Most students start Jiu-Jitsu for a practical reason, fitness, self-defense, confidence, stress relief. But what keeps them coming back is the lifestyle that naturally follows.
- You’ll start making healthier choices because you want to feel better on the mats.
- You’ll build consistency because progress is visible and motivating.
- You’ll develop mental toughness because training teaches you how to stay calm, even when things are hard.
- And you’ll gain a community, people who know your name, push you in the best way, and celebrate your wins with you.
Gracie Barra Herriman isn’t a fight club. It’s a team. It’s a community. It’s a place where people improve together.
If you live in Herriman or nearby and you’ve been looking for a Jiu-Jitsu school that feels professional, welcoming, and built for real life, we’d love to meet you.
