World class instruction, camaraderie, and phenomenal training partners. I truly enjoy my time at Gracie Barra from the instruction to the sparring sessions. If you’re looking for a place in OC to start your Jiu Jitsu journey or continue practicing, Gracie Barra is the place to be.

I'm planning on moving to Irvine, CA. over the next year and I'm visiting often. I started in Houston on a different academy and I wanted to find the perfect place so I can continue my practice. They were kind and cool to me. Amazing fighters on all levels, very friendly and I learned so much on my first 2 weeks there. I really appreciate to GB, they really do a great job

Gracie Barra HQ -Irvine

I Have been a member of Gracie Barra HQ - Irvine since 2019 . As many years and times I have driven by GB Irvine always wondering what it would be like to go in and start training Jiu Jitsu , I am  only bummed that I didn’t stop in sooner to get started.

The instructors are all awesome at being very detailed on drills that we are working on for the week. If you have questions they will take the time to explain and show you where you may be missing a step and how to do the drills correctly . There is also higher ranked students that are also very helpful with the new students that are just getting started .

Joining GB HQ has been a great decision for My Physical and Mental Health
So If you are  ever passing by and wondering what it would be like to Learn Jiu Jitsu , don’t pass by as many times as I did before getting started . You will be in good hands and learn a lot .

I got my start in BJJ here about 8 years ago and it has been incredible. The instructors are kind and knowledgeable and will do everything they can to make your jiu-jitsu journey the best it can be.

Excellent training, discipline, and exercise for my five year old. The instructors have been very helpful and patient with my son as a beginner. The staff and environment are very positive and welcoming.

For me, GB Irvine isn’t just a gym. It’s a community of athletes and individuals who are looking to challenge themselves both mentally and physically on the mats. The professors are all amazing—I can’t say enough great things about them. Each one brings a unique outlook and style to their classes, making them even more engaging. Both the professors and students are welcoming; you never feel like you’re being left behind in class or training because someone will always be there to teach you. I just started learning jiu-jitsu a few months ago, but I completely love it here. I highly recommend GB Irvine, no matter your level or age!
