GB Nocatee is a great family oriented gym for ALL ages - Kids, teenagers, and adults! When you enter the academy you are eagerly welcomed by staff, professors & coaches, and members. We love the spacious mats, cleanliness, there’s a cold plunge, compression boots, and my favorite - the SAUNA! My 2 kids train at GB Nocatee & what we love seeing is the camaraderie between the kids and them having FUN! They’ve met some new friends there and look forward to training & hanging out afterwards while the parental units (husband and I) train. As an adult participating, I am appreciative of the helpful coaches and professors who break down the techniques with ease. After a long day of work, coming to the academy is something we look forward to. Best part also is that there are Friday classes for all ages. Thank you GB Nocatee for opening in St Johns County, so glad there is a location for the community to enjoy! 5️⃣ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I've been training here for a few months now, and it has been an excellent experience. As a woman, I appreciate how female-friendly the environment is, with a good number of female training partners and a respectful atmosphere. I've been training for almost 10 years now, and it is one of the better female-friendly atmospheres I have been in. The facility is always clean, with well-maintained mats and changing areas.The community is welcoming and supportive. Everyone, from beginners to advanced practitioners, is encouraging and helpful. It feels like a team. The coaching is outstanding. The professors are knowledgeable and skilled at explaining techniques in a clear and understandable way. They are always willing to answer questions and offer personalized feedback. Whether you're looking to get fit, learn self-defense, or compete, this is a great place to train. I'm very glad I chose to join.
I’ve been training here at GB St. John’s for a little over 7 months now, and the experience has been nothing short of spectacular. The coaches and professors have incredible knowledge, breaking down techniques clearly for all levels while packing in advanced details. The community is amazing—everyone is super welcoming, supportive, and immensely passionate about the sport; you feel like family right away. Facilities are top-notch as well; spotless mats, clean everything, and a fantastic recovery room with sauna and cold plunge (game changer after a tough roll). I’ve also seen firsthand how great the kids’ program is. The little ones are learning real techniques in a fun, safe, and positive environment that builds confidence and discipline. If you’ve been training your whole life, have never stepped on the mat, or have a little one who wants to try something new, I can’t say enough about this place. Come drop in for a free trial class an
Gracie Barra St Johns is a great place to train BJJ! After having to take some time off from training, the St Johns family welcome me back to the mat, like I never left. The St Johns gym is in an easy to access location with more than enough parking. There is plenty of mat space, along with a cold plunge and sauna. The Professors and Coaches are always professional, knowledgeable, and (most importantly to me) personable. Always a good mix of training partners here too, this is truly a place for everyone. Very happy to be back training with my people!
My son has found a true passion in Jiujitsu, and his experience at Gracie Barra St. Johns has been nothing short of outstanding. From day one, he has eagerly looked forward to each session, and I have noticed significant improvements in his strength, confidence, and overall development. The coaches and professors are highly skilled, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about the progress of each student. They take the time to ensure that every child receives the attention and guidance they need, creating a supportive environment for growth. It brings me immense joy to see my son learning valuable self-defense techniques while also developing a strong sense of discipline and determination. I am incredibly grateful for the positive impact this Jiujitsu training has had on my son's life. Thank you coaches and professors!
My 4 year old daughter has been going to Gracie Barra Nocatee since the end of July, in just that short time we have seen such growth in her and she has begun to gain confidence in herself. The coaches are great with the children and keep them in line and focused but also allow them to have fun when appropriate. I also like that the classes have a range of ages so that the little ones can learn and look up to the older kids. She looks forward to going to classes and challenging herself to get better. Our main purpose for starting her in jiu jitsu was to make sure she could stand her ground, be confident, gain strength, be a part of a positive community and be prepared to handle any bullies that may come her way. I feel that Gracie Barra Nocatee will accomplish those goals.
