Gracie Barra Costa Mesa

"Head instructor, Professor Mike, is highly experienced and knowledgeable and has greatly improved my approach and overall BJJ game. The training partners are terrific as well. Everyone is treated respectfully and with care during drilling and sparring, and new students are welcomed and guided the more experienced athletes as they begin their BJJ journey. On top of great instruction and comradery, the gym is recently renovated with new mats and locker rooms. Come train at GB Costa Mesa!"

"I’m visiting from Houston and took my best friend for her first BJJ class ever. Liz met us at the front, was so reassuring, and really made my friend feel comfortable. Professor Mike was amazing, led a great class, and did such a good job of explaining the techniques. It was also cool to see multiple women in class, and overall, everyone was so welcoming. I was excited to share this part of my life with my bestie and thankful for such a great experience! OSS"

"Can't say enough about Professor Scott and Coach Gabe and the rest of the coaches and staff. They have the upmost respect for anyone and everyone that walks through their doors. From the moment my kids walked in September 2021 they have been treated so fairly and we couldn't be happier with the discipline and Jiu Jitsu that they have learned. Their teachings go much further than on the Jiu Jitsu mat. We've noticed that our children have grown immensely due to Jiu Jitsu and the whole Gracie Barra Costa Mesa team is widely to thank for that."

"GB Costa Mesa has incredible instructors that are highly knowledgeable and skilled in the BJJ craft. I recommend them for anyone looking for a self improvement, a challenge, or life changes in general. You will find people of all skill levels that are eager to learn in a safe, clean environment."

"Since I started practicing, I've always looked forward to visit schools in other countries, roll with new people and improve our jiu-jitsu. GB Costa Mesa was the first school I visited and it was such a great experience. I had the pleasure of learning from professor Scott and his students in a very welcoming and safe environment which embraces the GB philosophy. The quality of the class and the infrastructure is excellent. In the two weeks I spent there I've learned great techniques in detail which I shared with my regular training partners back in my country. I'll definitely visit this school when I travel for work to California."
