Best of all worlds! Man, woman, child: this is the gym you've been looking for. Allow me to elaborate.... Once I got my first taste of BJJ and realized it actually delivers on what it advertises, I spent a lot of time finding the right gym. Did tons of research, recruited the personal assistance of an expert, etc. Ultimately, I settled on Gracie Barra Saddle Rock. The staff were very welcoming and after my first class, I signed up for a year to start. After 3 weeks of training, I found myself being punched in the face while at a wedding, completely unprovoked. Even with that limited training, I was able to immediately protect myself and restrain my assailant in a matter of a couple of seconds (he was then escorted off the property). I knew I liked my gym when I first started going here, but I had no idea how special this place truly is. Ive done some traveling and visited other BJJ gyms across the country.

I've been training at Gracie Barra for three years, and it's easily one of the best decisions I've made. The coaches are knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping everyone improve—whether you're brand new or an experienced grappler. The atmosphere is welcoming and respectful, and the teammates push each other to grow without ego or hostility. What really stands out is the attention to both technique and safety. Classes are structured, warm-ups are purposeful, and the instruction is clear and detailed. Whether you're looking to compete, get in shape, or just learn self-defense, this gym has something for everyone. Highly recommend Gracie Barra to anyone looking to grow in jiu-jitsu and be part of a solid community.
We were looking for a new BJJ home after moving from Florida. We tried a couple places before coming to GB Saddle Rock; we instantly knew this was the place for us. The classes are structured, the Professors and Coaches are excellent, and the gym itself is very clean. We have three family members of different ages/levels who have been training here almost two months now. They continue to show improvement and gain knowledge with every class. Definitely recommend this gym whether you’re new to BJJ or a trained athlete.
From the first call about a trial class, Alex was very kind, welcoming and informative. He rea hed out prior to the trial class to be sure we were prepared. He was also there when my son tried his first class. He fit him into his Gi and made him feel comfortable and accepted by the other students. There was a friendly community of parents that spoke about how much their child enjoys Gracie Barra. The schedule offered makes it very convenient to attend what works best within our schedule at home.
Our five year old and eight year old have both trained here for the past five months. The physical fitness is great for getting their energy out. The bigger benefits are character building and the sense of community. Their confidence and self image have improved in this short time, which is great prevention for bullying! I’m always surprised how quickly my kids listen and how tall they stand in class. Professor Bruno and Coach Matt are excellent teachers, very patient, and encourage self discipline. I highly recommend Gracie Barra Saddle Rock!
I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional experience I had with Alex at Gracie Barra Saddle Rock. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to help me get my son into their program. What stood out most was their unwavering empathy and integrity throughout the process. He truly listened to our needs and concerns, making us feel valued and understood every step of the way. He didn’t just treat us like another application, he genuinely cared about my son’s well-being and success. His professionalism, kindness, and dedication exceeded all expectations. If you’re looking for an organization that puts people first and operates with heart and honesty, I wholeheartedly recommend Gracie Barra. They’ve made a lasting positive impact on my family, and I couldn’t be more grateful.
