Kraig Howard2024-03-28I visited GB Salt Lake City this past week from out of state, what an awesome academy!!!! I was welcomed like family (that’s what we are at Gracie Barra). 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. I'm from Denver, and I train at Easton , and these guys couldn't have been more welcoming to me while I've been on this work trip. Great fundamentals and support from the professors

Incredible crew - everyone very welcoming - great instructors/professors and studio and had some great training partners. Would def recommend to anyone looking. On days I got there early I watched the kids classes. Well run and attended.
Rachel Maxwell2024-01-15My kids have learned life changing skills essential to success at Gracie Barra. My kids love coming and learning here. I am seeing their strength and skill improve with every class. All the staff here are very kind and intelligent. The Coaches, Masters and Professor are very knowledgeable and have great skill in training those individuals willing to put in the time to learn and practice. I feel Gracie Barra highly represents the BrazilianJujitsu martial arts and recommend it to everyone.
