Premium amenities, expert instructors, and a welcoming community to support your
jiu-jitsu journey.
Jiu-Jitsu teaches you how to defend yourself by using leverage and technique, not just strength. This is why it's considered one of the most effective martial arts for self-defense, helping you control and escape real-life threats.
Jiu-Jitsu builds confidence by proving you can handle tough situations. Each time you improve, you feel stronger and more capable, boosting your self-belief on and off the mat.
Jiu-Jitsu creates a strong sense of community where everyone supports each other’s growth. Training together builds lasting friendships and a team spirit that pushes you to become your best, both in and out of the gym.
Jiu-Jitsu is a full-body workout that improves your strength, endurance, and flexibility. It helps you get in shape while learning valuable skills, making fitness fun and challenging at the same time.
Jiu-Jitsu promotes personal growth by pushing you out of your comfort zone and teaching you resilience. Every challenge on the mat helps you develop discipline, patience, and a mindset to overcome obstacles in life.

"This review is long overdue. I've been training here for about six months now, and this is by far the best gym I’ve experienced. The instructors and coaches are exceptional, teaching precise fundamental techniques. The structured teaching process ensures you never feel overwhelmed, even if you miss a class. The individualized attention they provide is worth every penny. Additionally, their commitment to hygiene is top-notch, with mats being cleaned daily. Staying in Simi Valley has been worthwhile thanks to this gym."

More than a martial art — it's a movement.
At Gracie Barra, we stand for:

Integrity. Honoring tradition and living with purpose.
Development. On the mat, in the mind, for life.

This is discipline forged in sweat.

A lifestyle built on strength, resilience, and character — far beyond the mats.
