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!

Gracie Barra Upland with Professors Anna and Rafael is an absolute gem in the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. From day one, their dedication to teaching and fostering a supportive community is evident. Professor Anna's & Rafael's expertise and guidance create a dynamic duo that brings out the best in every student.The facility is excellent, always clean and well equipped for training. Classes are structured yet engaging, catering to all skill levels from beginners to advanced practitioners. Whether you're looking to learn self-defense techniques, improve your fitness, or compete at a higher level, they provide the tools and encouragement needed to succeed.What stands out the most is their genuine passion for Jiu-Jitsu and for helping students grow not only as martial artists but also as individuals. Their Professors and Coaches are phenomenal teachers that instill and embody the ethos of respect, discipline, teamwork, and community by instilling valuable life lessons both on and off the mat.Personally, I have entrusted GB Upland with my family, and we all have experienced significant improvement in our skills and confidence since joining. The atmosphere is friendly and inclusive, making it easy to connect with fellow students who share a passion for martial arts.If you're considering learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, look no further than Gracie Barra Upland with Professor Anna and Rafael. It's an exceptional place where you'll find expert instruction, a welcoming community, and the opportunity to achieve your goals in martial arts. Highly recommended!

Professors Ana & Rafael have created a quality family/team environment where everyone from the staff to seasoned students are approachable and willing to help you with your technique & goals. Whether you're a hobbyist, competitor or just looking to have fun and a great workout, the GB curriculum covers every level and speed.Owners and staff strive to raise the standard for professionalism, conduct & etiquette, ensuring everyone feels comfortable in a challenging & rewarding environment. Issues/concerns are addressed without delay.The kids & teens program is second-to-none, producing consistent medalists in every major tournament --locally, nationally and even internationally. If you have a competitive child looking to develop, improve and fine-tune their game; Iron sharpens iron at GB Upland. My daughters have greatly benefited from the team support.The front office is easy to reach out to whenever life/school etc., happens and extracurricular priorities change. They've accommodated my child's occasional breaks a couple times with complete understanding. Shoutout to Pedro for making the membership/contractual process painless & concise.Can't recommend GB Upland enough!

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.

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”.
