My child had an amazing trial class here today and absolutely loved it—he’s already eager to sign up for their Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program! The instructors are not only exceptionally patient but also deeply attentive to each child’s progress, offering personalized guidance and encouragement at every step. What truly impressed me was how they transformed complex techniques into fun, age-appropriate drills, keeping the kids both engaged and motivated. The atmosphere is welcoming, the facility is clean and safe, and it’s clear that the team prioritizes both skill development and character-building. If you’re looking for a place where your child can learn discipline, build confidence, and have a blast doing it, this is the perfect choice. Highly recommended for any parent seeking a top-tier martial arts education! Less

I’ve trained Jiu Jitsu on-and-off for a few years, but this is the first gym that I’ve felt at home. The professors and coaches are absolutely amazing. They truly care about their students. If you want to learn, or think about learning I highly recommend coming to this gym. I’m proud to be apart of the Gracie Barra Aliso Viejo family 🥋 Less

I am delighted to have chosen this location for my child's development. Less

My son just started two weeks ago and I can already see the difference in his self-confidence. I highly recommend signing your child up to all parents out there. The amount of respect, courtesy, and help the entire environment has offered to my son is amazing! Less

My first experience with Gracie Barra. It was a very well taught class with great instructions from the top instructors. I was a beginner joining in an advanced class. And I was able to work along side someone that was able to train with me at my skill level without taking away from either of our experiences. It was hard, challenging, physically exerting, and exhilarating. Absolutely reccomend. Less

I discovered Gracie Barra Jiu-Jitsu in Aliso Viejo with Professor Diogo, and this art has been transforming my life. The team is incredibly professional, like a true family. During a very difficult time in my life, surrounded by the many problems we face in this world, I started experiencing anxiety attacks. Jiu-Jitsu has become a real therapy for me, helping me overcome these challenges. The instructors are not only highly professional but also truly compassionate. By Less

The team at Gracie Barra Aliso Viejo is amazing. It is a great place to train for both children and Adults. For the kids, they get plenty of exercise, build their confidence, learn to defend themselves and build a sense of community. Between the kids and I we have been training there around 3 years and I highly recommend them. Less
