Professor Rodrigo
Gracie Barra Riverton will open its door very soon. The aim is to bring the best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes to Riverton and surrounding areas, such as Herriman, Daybreak, South Jordan, Bluffdale, Draper, and surrounding areas, enhancing their health with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, which is the best martial arts for self-defense available nearby.
"I can't wait to share my passion for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with all of Utah!"
Professor Andrea
The very first 50 students who signed up for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes at Gracie Barra Riverton will receive the title of Red Shield Founders and enjoy some special benefits. From the beginning, the school will offer Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes for kids and adults, followed by women’s only BJJ and self-defense classes.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is by far the best martial art for self defense purposes. Based on leverage, Jiu-Jitsu teaches grappling techniques to obtain control over an opponent or aggressor. The “Gentle Art” focuses on immobilizing and applying submissions by attacking the joints and neck.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches a wide variety of techniques. Often compared to a game of human chess, BJJ will require you to utilize your entire body as well as your mind to gain dominance over your training partners. No matter your level there, is always something new to learn. It is a sport that pushes creativity and strategy.
Jiu-Jitsu practitioners are known to seek healthy habits. Everything, from diet to activity level will see improvement once you begin your jiu-jitsu journey. Everything done off the mat affects performance on the mat, and successful students naturally gravitate toward a healthier way of life.
Also, brotherhood is a Gracie Barra core value. You will join a community of like-minded individuals who uplift and push you to be better. Friends made on the mat lead to great friends off the mat, too.
We are not a fight club. We are a school that seeks to offer the best jiu jitsu in Utah, in order to provide an amazing experience for our members.

Professor Carlos gave exceptional instruction and every student there treated me like a regular training partner and a friend. I will be back!Razvan Platon2024-03-14A month into my training and really enjoying the process. The facility is great! The professors are invested in each student's development and growth as are the more senior students I've been paired up with. The environment is friendly and collaborative. Seeing my growth in the last month has been very rewarding. Definitely recommend for for anyone interested in Jiu-Jitsu to give it a try.Yoan Rodriguez2024-02-22Thank you Amanda, Rodrigo and Carlos!!! We are visiting family in SLC from out of state and visited Gracie Barra West Jordan and SLC, both places greatly managed. Kids classes for my 7 yr old twins were great and many options to choose from to train myself in the adult classes. Clean atmosphere, super friendly staff and knowledgeable professors. Thank you again and we will definitely come back next time we are in town.Brian Smith2024-02-17I want to thank the whole staff at Gracie Barra Salt Lake City for opening their doors for my daughter to train. We were on a family vacation and my daughter wanted to keep her skills up before an IBJJF. Professor Rodrigo allowed her to train in a couple classes and then even spent time providing additional training after class. Gracie Barra SLC is clean and professional and the kids all showed a great deal of respect to the Professors. Sign your kids up for Jiu-Jitsu!! It has made my kids so confident in their daily lives. They get used to being physically close with people which allows them to not be taken off guard if adversity ever comes their way. Thanks again GB Salt Lake/West Jordan!Alexander Mears2024-02-02I'm a white belt that has been training for about 4 weeks now.
