Gracie Barra West Ryde

"I've had the privilege of training here for the last 4 and a half years and the experience has been amazing. I just wanted to get fit and learn a new skill, but this school has given me so much more. As an older guy I was overweight and unfit so I was hesitant to start this journey. However i just kept showing up and getting better and fitter every day. Now I feel better than I did in my 30s. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a very challenging and humbling sport, and it's had a great positive effect on my life and mindset. Professor Julio is an accomplished competitor, a fantastic instructor and an inspiring presence in the gym. He looks after and cares for all his students and runs a very professional gym. It's a very clean and friendly atmosphere and all my training partners are wonderful people. I couldn't rate Gracie Barra West Ryde any higher. If you are looking to train BJJ in the area you couldn't pick a better place to learn and train."

"Fantastic place to learn martial arts. Prof Julio is the perfect instructor. Patient, knowledgeable, polite... but deadly!! All the staff at Gracie Barra West Ryde are excellent to deal with. Very understanding and are willing to help you whenever they can. All the students are very warm and welcoming and are all great training partners. I would recommend GBWR to everyone and anyone. Terrific establishment!! OSS!"

"Amazing gym - supportive and welcoming atmosphere, wonderful teammates and top-notch teachers! Professor Julio is passionate about what he does and is an excellent teacher. When learning new techniques, he explains it in such a way that allows you to see all the possibilities of the technique and think about the bigger picture. He is patient, encouraging, and challenges you to be better. What I love about GB West Ryde is that regardless of belt, people are invested in the other's success, whether it be taking the time to give helpful advice or offering words of encouragement. And as a team it makes everyone better. Thanks, Professor Julio!"

"One of the best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu schools in the North West of Sydney. Quality programs, training and instructions from Professor Julio and team. Stop sitting around thinking about it and start now."
