We’re more than just a Jiu-Jitsu academy — we’re a community

Our school was built around the idea that training together makes us stronger, not only on the mats but in life. Here, students of all ages and backgrounds come together to learn, grow, and support each other in a positive, family-friendly environment. Whether your goal is to get fit, learn self-defense, build confidence, or simply find a new passion, you’ll find a place where everyone is welcome and encouraged to do their best. Our dedicated instructors work hard to make every class a safe, structured, and motivating experience. We’re proud to see friendships forming, families training side by side, and kids gaining confidence one class at a time. Come visit us and see why so many people call Gracie Barra Burnaby their second home.
