It's a Great Place to Learn Brazilian Jiu JItsu! I was no kid when I started but Professor Fernando and all the coaches went out of their way to keep me and everyone in the class safe and make it an enjoyable experience! I was in my 60’s when I started and enjoyed 10 wonderful years there before family matters encouraged a move out of state but I thought so highly of it my adult daughter trained with me and one of my granddaughters trains there currently. The facility is clean and the instructors are both talented and patient which is a rarity in this world It’s easy to be one or the other but both are a real gift. You will get out of it what you put into it but they teach you to be comfortable in uncomfortable situations and it’s a valuable skill in the world we live in now!
We’ve had such a wonderful experience at Gracie Barra Dana Point! My 4-year-old started in the Parent/Child class, and from day one, Professor Fernando, Coach Paula, and Professor Collin were incredibly patient and encouraging. Over the course of two months, they helped build his confidence, focus, and ability to follow instruction. Once he showed he was ready, they invited him into the Monday/Wednesday class and he’s thriving. A huge thank you to Coach Paula, Professor Fernando, and Professor Collin for the time, care, and positive affirmations you’ve poured into my son. In just four months, we’ve seen amazing growth in his skills, confidence, and respect for others. The classes are fun, engaging, and always rooted in the core values of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. We’re so grateful to be part of this community!
Professor Fernando runs the best training facility. He makes it fun for kids, yet it is organized and teaches the kids discipline, respect and how to help others. My son, who is on the autism spectrum, absolutely loves going there and training jiu jitsu. His coach, Jorge is patient, calm, and has gentle teaching method. Our son Max has learned so much from body awareness to simple techniques and its great exercise as well! He has sensory processing disorder but he has acclimated to the loud noises, grappling, and floor exercises. The techniques have helped him in body awareness and speech. We highly recommend Gracie Barra DP and the whole GB team. We love them!
Gracie Barra Jiu Jitsu in Dana Point is a very special place for all ages of students. Professor Fernando and his coaching staff are incredibly talented and so caring of all of their students. All age groups are represented. There are fun classes for young kids to learn jiu jitsu and its philosophy of discipline and respect and other classes for older adults to learn the art of self defense. If you or your kids haven't taken a class here, you really should sign up for one. Trust me, you won't regret it.
Truly - I cannot say enough wonderful things about Professor Fernando and his entire team. You would have a hard time telling which of his students are his own children because he treats each one like his own. The kindness, gentleness, and compassion are constant and in perfect balance with how high a bar he sets for his students and the integrity he requires of them - not only as a jiu jitsu player but as a whole person. After our first class with my then-4-year-old, we decided we were lifers, and we never looked back. I'm so proud to belong to Gracie Barra Dana Point. They feel like part of our family.

I would 100% recommend this school to anyone looking to get into Jiu jitsu.
