Sending love from TX - We spent time at GB Upland from 2021-2022, and my kids still talk about this gym. We miss it very much, and if we are ever in the area again, we will return! We loved the location, schedule and structure! Highly recommend Professor Ana and GB Upland !! Less

This is such a great BJJ school and program for both adults and children. My son has been coming here for the Summer Training program. They have so many instructors that it almost feels like private lessons. All of the instructors are extremely patient with the kids. They encourage a team environment, talk about leadership, and talk to the kids about keeping with things when they’re tough. All great skills not just for BJJ but for life. They do also offer women’s only class with all women instructors. It’s a large facility with plenty of seating, 2 different large mats, and it’s always clean! Less

Gracie Barra Upland is the BEST. My kiddos started their journey with Brazilian jiujitsu about two years ago and we’ve never looked back. I love how professional, caring, patient and fun the coaches and professors are to everyone. At Gracie Barra Upland my son and daughter have learned valuable self defense techniques , gained confidence and made many friends. Less

The most important people are the professors and coaches that have the patience to share their techniques, wisdom and provide a safe, welcoming and friendly atmosphere to students like myself. Less

There’s so many great things to say about GB Upland that I don’t know where to start. It’s become a place where I get to grow personally while making friends along the way and getting to help others in their bjj journey. The school is clearly focused on creating a team, not every man for himself like other gyms can feel. Don’t worry about being nervous when starting, the school breaks the curriculum down in a way that makes learning the sport/self defense very doable for anyone. At the same time, if you want a difficult challenge there’s plenty of classes for that; learning from some of the best in the sport. I came here to learn the sport/self defense, but ended up with so much more on AND off the mats. Enrolling might feel like a big leap, but I guarantee it’ll be one worth taking if you attend consistently. Less

We've tried other Jiu Jitsu schools in the area and GB Upland has been my kids favorite school by far! The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The school is also well organized and clean. My boys have learned so much and look forward to training. Less

Highly recommend. The coaches and professors are so amazing and they all truly work so well with the kids. Our son has been part of their team for 3 years, the confidence and skills he has learned is definitely remarkable. Less

My family LOVES Gracie Upland. It’s become like a family to us and our kids. Our three kids joined 3 years ago, a year ago my husband joined and as of recent I (the mom) decided to enroll too. The women’s class has been such an amazing addition to the schedule. My kids love all the coaches and professors at GB Upland. Everyone truly gives 100% effort into their training of students, kids and adults, and support you in every way possible. We have been members for almost 4 years and have had such a great experience with Professors Ana & Rafael and their entire staff. The families we have met and friends we have made encourage and support us every step along the way of our Jiu Jitsu journey.Gracie Barra Upland truly embodies their motto “Jiu Jitsu for Everyone”.

My daughter has been attending Gracie Barra Upland since April 2023. She had already been practicing jiu jitsu for a year, but I have seen a significant improvement in her since enrolling in their program. The coaches are all wonderful! Less

Brought my son here to learn and saw how much fun it was I enrolled myself also. The folks teaching here really make you feel comfortable when stepping out of your comfort zone. 5* Less
