GB Costa Mesa is that rare environment where top-shelf training facilities meet a welcoming community vibe. The gym is loaded with high-end Professors, coaches, and participants at every belt level, size, and age, and the upper belts seem more interested in bringing everyone up rather than trying to prove anything. So you are guaranteed to both be challenged and have a positive and productive training experience. The vibe here is top-shelf jiu-jitsu without any egos or tough guys or gals. Come to a Friday open mat, and there’s an excellent chance you’ll get to roll with a variety of black belts. Heaps of mat room, open space with fresh air, and always clean. Changing rooms, showers, and they’ve even got a Kagan water faucet and Nespresso!
Hands down the best decision we’ve made for our daughter Our daughter has been attending Gracie Barra Costa Mesa for a year now and the growth we’ve witnessed in her both on and off the mats has been incredible. The level of instruction here is unmatched. Every coach brings not just technique and discipline but heart and intention to every class. They see each student’s potential and push them to rise to it. She has advanced so much thanks to their dedication and more importantly she’s gained confidence, resilience, and a sense of belonging that carries into every area of her life. Jiu jitsu is more than a martial art. It is a way of life. It teaches humility, patience, manners, self-control, and problem-solving. Even at her young age, we’ve seen her carry herself with more focus, awareness, and kindness. She is stronger physically and mentally because of it. The studio is clean and welcoming with an energy that makes you want to stay.
My 4-year-old daughter has recently started Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at GB Costa Mesa, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the very first class, she was captivated by the engaging and a dynamic environment. The instructors are incredibly patient and skilled at making the techniques accessible and fun for young children. My daughter was a little shy and timid at the beginning, but was warmly welcomed and guided by Liz, who was nice enough to sit with her until she got comfortable. What impresses me the most is how much my daughter looks forward to each session. She’s learning not only physical skills but also discipline, respect, and confidence. The sense of accomplishment she feels after each class is evident in her conversations when arriving home to the fam. The dojo has created a welcoming community where children feel supported and encouraged. It's heartwarming to see her making new friends and working together with her p
Can't say enough about Professor Scott and Coach Gabe and the rest of the coaches and staff. They have the upmost respect for anyone and everyone that walks through their doors. From the moment my kids walked in September 2021 they have been treated so fairly and we couldn't be happier with the discipline and Jiu Jitsu that they have learned. Their teachings go much further than on the Jiu Jitsu mat. We've noticed that our children have grown immensely due to Jiu Jitsu and the whole Gracie Barra Costa Mesa team is widely to thank for that.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GBCM has been an incredible place for our boys. They started close to a year ago, and our experience has been amazing as we watch our boys learn the sport. Professor Elon and Professor Jodi are incredibly thoughtful in how they run and develop the Little Champs program, not just teaching Jiu Jitsu, but helping build confidence, discipline, and character from the very start. They are amazing professors who genuinely care about the growth of our boys, both on and off the mat. You can really feel how invested they are in every kid’s progress, and the environment they create is positive, supportive, and motivating. Highly recommend GBCM to anyone in the Costa Mesa area, especially families looking to start their kids on their Jiu Jitsu journey.
Great staff and an excellent family friendly environment. All the professors take the time with newer students to make sure they understand the movements while being safe if they are new to the sport. Tons of upper belts in every class I’ve attend that offer advice and pointers after every roll. I signed up for free classes at every Jiu-Jitsu school in my area before deciding that GB Costa Mesa is the ideal fit for me to grow, push myself, and gain concrete experience every class!
