If you're interested at all in learning BJJ, do yourself a favor and give it a shot.

Went to a competitor to see if it's a good fit and it was so loud that all three kids wanted to leave. So loud, I could barely hear the sweet young man manning the front desk in the middle of chaos. A few minutes after leaving, we got a call back from 805 to come see their place. The boys walk in, and in unison said "this place" while Coach cowboy and I were talking. He told them to take their shoes off and join the class. It was "home"... He is more than just a coach. He cares about all his students! When they fall out of line, he cares enough to help the parents get them back in line. He instills discipline, self esteem and values. All the coaches here are amazing!

I'm compelled to post this review to help other parents considering the Jiu-Jitsu program at Gracie…read moreBarra in Simi Valley. I encourage parents to please read the fine print, no matter how appealing the sales pitch. I signed my son up in early 2025. At first, the program seemed great. The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu art form taught at Gracie Barra in Simi Valley is excellent, and the coaches there are motivating, patient, and great with kids, no doubt this was our positive experience. What I didn't appreciate was the sales pitch and, more importantly, the cancellation process. We were told the membership was month-to-month, with no contract, and that we could cancel anytime. Based on that, we bought gear and enrolled our excited son. Over about half a year, he attended roughly 8 classes. Due to family circumstances, including welcoming a newborn in December 2025, we could attend only about once a week at a stretch. We take full responsibility for this. When we asked to cancel, management said makeup classes weren't possible. We decided it wasn't financially practical to pay full monthly fees for something we couldn't fully use. That's when the issues began. Only one staff member could process cancellations, and we had to wait nearly two weeks to meet with them. The meeting became an almost hour-long sales pitch to stay enrolled. A temporary "pause" offered 20% off $250 for three months, but during the pause our son wouldn't be able to attend any classes. We declined. Then we learned there was a cancellation clause requiring two extra months of payments--contradicting the signup claim of no contract. We ended up paying October, November, and December 2025, even though we didn't use the classes, effectively paying to exit a "no-contract" arrangement. We paid the fees and since then only receive texts trying to re-enroll, which we've declined. As business owners, we value ethical customer relationships and flexibility for families under economic pressure and what we received from Gracie, Simi Valley was quite the opposite. This review isn't to bash anyone or name names. (As you can tell in the review we didn't mention anyone by name). It's awareness for parents considering Gracie Barra Simi Valley: please read the fine print carefully, including Tablet terms so gracefully handed to you for quick signatures. A two-month cancellation requirement or a discounted freeze that blocks class usage are risks I wish we had foreseen. My aim is to warn hardworking families to read the fine print before signing up, not to attack or deter. The economy is tight right now, especially for middle-class working families in California, where the cost of living has risen considerably. Instances like this don't help when companies squeeze every dollar without fully considering the hardworking parent/s. Blessings to all.
