From the reviews
THIS is the class to join! By far, the best, most professional, energetic, experienced, and child experienced coaches! We joined in the beginning of the year with 3 of our 4 sons, my husband and these coaches are SO great with all the kids! They keep their attention and teach them to focus and to be humble.
Gracie Barra Corona has an amazing staff that welcomes you right into their family almost immediately. After training Jiu jitsu for 5yrs, I can confidently say I have finally found my home. The staff is phenomenal and the energy of the team is like no other. This really is a more than a team it’s a family.
Our son has been training Jiu-jitsu at this Corona location for a couple of months now. This place is amazing ! Great coaches with great attitudes! Coach Christian, Coach Chris & Professor Andy go above & beyond every session.
Gracie Barra Corona has truly transformed my child into a disciplined and well trained young man. The coaches take special interest and often spar with the kiddos to allow them to practice their moves. The coaches are invested in my kiddos and I see them invested in the class.
New to BJJ? Start at Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Martial Arts
Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
