Gracie Barra Queen Creek Jiu Jitsu and Self Defense 6100 West Hunt Highway, Queen Creek, AZ 85142

"This was an incredibly welcoming Jiu Jitsu academy. As a visitor from another state, it was amazing to see a new school full of great coaches, professional staff, and friendly students. I’ll always recommend Jiu Jitsu as a self defense and exercise source, but most importantly as a community. This gym covers all those point."

"This is an outstanding addition to the Gracie Barra family. The culture this group of amazing people have created is unique in every way. The instructors, coaches, students and families have built such a supportive and embracing environment that it is not just a school it is without a doubt a family. Several years ago my son asked me to start Jiu Jitsu with him. Without hesitation I said yes because I was honored and flattered that he would want me to begin this journey with him. It only took a few moments after saying yes for me to start thinking "what did I get myself into". I had some doubts building like, "I hadn't done any athletic training in so long" and "I'm older now, I know nothing about jiu jitsu". When it came time for our class my son and I entered the door of Gracie Barra and immediately we were welcomed by Paula and Professor Lucas. Soon after that other coaches and students introduced themselves and just like that we both felt at home! Everyone had been so eager to help and coach us on techniques and giving us praise and direction always. The students, coaches, Professors and families all truly have the same goals for everyone which is to help each other improve and support each other in order to lift everyone up together. I am now 50 years old and Jiu Jitsu is a major part of my life and will be always. I want to thank my Gracie Barra Family and I can not wait to see all of the new family members of the Queen Creek location experience this very special bond!"

"The GB QC community has been absolutely wonderful. I waited months for this location to open and drove 35 minutes early in the morning to get to their sister school while waiting. I am so glad, and it has been completely worth the wait. The coaches are amazing, and the instruction is clear and much easier to follow than some of the other BJJ gyms I have tried. Top notch and my favorite part of the day!"

"This school has amazing coaches, and is led by an even greater staff of men and woman! The feeling of brotherhood (and sisterhood) and the extremely close bond everyone shares builds a very positive environment. I leave the mats every time with an overwhelming thereputic feeling. You’ll find Juijitsu of all levels here from week 1 to competitive black belts. No matter what your reason for wanting to join Juijitsu, you will find it here. Some join for the exercise, some join to compete others join because it’s cheaper than therapy lol. Come roll with us!"
