I just started and I they definitely treated me like family. Very fun / professional place to study the arts. I am very glad I joined.

The BEST professor and coaches. They come to each class with high energy and world class patience. We've seen our shy, cautious daughter thrive in this environment with the incredible staff. No other place will greet each parent by name every single day. read more

We are so thankful to have found this BJJ school and enrolled our 5 year old daughter here - ever since she has began her training here, she has grown in her self-confidence, self-control, physical strength and motor skills, as well as her motivation for physical contact sports. Professor Mike and his team impressively both engage the kids with a sense of play while challenging them at the same time, uniquely blending both professionalism and technicality with laughter and fun. The students are nurtured to feel that they are a part of a collective team, and Professor Mike is warm and friendly with all of the parents as well, leading to a sense of family and welcome. I would highly recommended this business, for both kids and adults alike! read more

I'd give them more than five stars if I could. Since joining at their opening, I've found that Gracie Barra Murrieta isn't just a team--it's a family. I have trained at other gyms, but this is the best environment for my family because the members are always so welcoming. read more

Gracie Barra Murrieta - Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Near Me - Murrieta, California

Seriously one of the best gyms I've ever been to. Pros: 1. Great vibe. This should be your number one focus in choosing a jiu-jitsu gym. I have been to too many gyms that are ego driven, and the instructor and students create an environment that is not welcoming. GB Murrieta has one of the chillest environments I've been in, but there are also killers in the room. People here want to get better, but aren't looking to hurt you or knee-on-neck pass you lol. 2. Reasonable cost. Yes it's Gracie, so you are going to pay a premium, but you are getting tired and true instruction from a guy that trained under the master himself. Totally worth it. 3. Great facilities. Very clean environment. Everything from the mats to the bathroom was very clean. I hate training and gyms where I feel claustrophobic. Here there is an open atmosphere with no funky smells! If you are on the fence, give it a try! Professor Mike is one of the friendliest guys I've met and you will love him and his family! read more

I stepped into this Gracie studio one summer afternoon and from the get go, Professor Mike, Coach Ryna, and little Lex has been nothing short of pleasant and are like family. My daughter had a lot of energy and lacked focus so I inquired whether my daughter being 3.5 years old at the time was too young to start BJJ but Prof. Mike said she was welcome and ready at this age. She has been attending for 9 months and seen a great deal of difference including attention to detail, self discipline, and confidence. This studio at Murrieta Gracie Barra has a great curriculum, very clean/tidy, and prepares little ones for the life ahead. Keep it up GB Murrieta family! Love you guys. read more

I had the pleasure of participating in a BJJ class at Gracie Barra Murrietta, yesterday morning. I've trained in many Jiu Jitsu schools and was highly impressed. There's no need to be concerned about your skill level or endurance. It's a safe environment, both physically and emotionally, which means you can make mistakes without the fear of judgement or criticism Professor Mike is the real deal. He's not only a highly skilled black belt but also an excellent teacher and strong leader. Coach Josh and Coach Leyna round out the leadership team with a high degree of passion, competence and positivity. Needless to say I'm definitely enrolling with Gracie Barra Murrietta and excited about continuing to improve my Jiu jitsu skills and building new relationships with quality folk. read more

Joining Gracie Barra Murrieta has been one of the best decisions for our family. Our son is enrolled in the kids class and his experience at this school has been nothing short of exceptional. The increase in control, concentration and confidence our son has gained in just a few short months has been truly sensational. The school is clean and well maintained. The instructors are hands on and exhibit the utmost professionalism. They strike a perfect balance between teaching discipline and having fun. Each class focuses on promoting fitness, technique and self-defense. Depending on the day, class sizes can average 15 to 25 students. Our son loves this program and asks everyday to go to class. He has even given up another sport to frequent class more often. Thank you Professor Mike and Coach Ryna. Your school has changed our lives. Self Control and Focus! read more

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Professor Mike and his entire team. From the professor to the coaches, everyone is truly amazing and always welcomes us with open arms. This community genuinely feels like family. Professor Mike and Coach Ryna truly care about the kids and their families on a personal level. Professor Mike takes the time to welcome each and every family, and from the very beginning he makes you feel right at home. That kind of care and attention means everything. Professor Mike and Coach Ryna are incredibly patient and kind with the kids. Our son had a rough start and needed some time to adjust, but they held his hand through the entire journey with so much grace and patience, not just for him, but for us as parents too (haha, we definitely needed it!). Now our son is absolutely thriving. His confidence has grown tremendously, and seeing how happy and proud he is has been amazing. We couldn't be happier and are so grateful to be part of such a supportive, caring, and loving jiu-jitsu family. They are truly the best! read more

We came from Gracie Barra San Clemente and were heartbroken when we left. We moved back to Murrieta and a new Gracie Barra had opened. This studio is amazing!! We have attended 3 other studios in the area over a 4 year period. The staff is beyond exceptional. Professor Mike does a stellar job of not only technique, but respect and teamwork. He treats everyone, including parents, as part of the team. Everyone is greeted with a hello and fist bump. When teaching and while rolling all instructors are attentive and provide guidance. I couldn't be happier at Gracie Barra Murrieta. 5 stars does not provide enough credit. read more

We been coming little over a month and my son has learned so much! We feel so blessed to be part of this team. Best coaches by far! My 13 year old is always excited and enthusiastic to come to class. read more

Amazing staff & location. I bounced through 4 studios for my 11 year old in a short time trying to find his training home that fits... this is it. My shy son loves it here & says he feels welcome and is not confused by instruction & isn't lost like he has in the past. Many BJJ studios are all about tournaments only and not finding a healthy balance of competition, safety, and technical skills. I've seen many kids get hurt at other places and the coach to student ratio is bad causing less than ideal learning environments for little ones. This place has it all. Safety, great training staff and they actually teach your kids, not just play games and push competition first. If you're looking for a great place to teach your children confidence in a safe environment, this is your stop. read more
