Reviews
Seth Gershfeld2025-03-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve trained at multiple gyms, all high level. Nothing compares to Gracie Barra Agoura. This is a small, close-knit community of absolute killers. The lineage, originating with the great Romulo Barral (who teaches here, btw) has left a permanent imprint on the intensity of training and the level of technique present in every class. You will get a lot of personal attention here, which has helped many students, myself included, level up their game under the guidance of some of the best instructors and competitors in the game. Do not hesitate to sign up at this gym, whether for yourself, a friend, or your child (their kids program is among the best in the world). I cannot emphasize just how elite this gym is!! ab23by2025-03-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It’s a beautiful feeling seeing the kids grow confidence and strength with this class . The coaches are always on it and helping every student. Darrion Weems2025-03-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful community and great experience for my 5 year old son. Highly recommend it to anyone curious. Lívia Cruz2024-11-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best place to train the real Brazilian Jiu Jitsu! Shota Guterres2023-09-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great learning environment for both kids and adults. I attend the adult classes and my child attends the kids classes. The adult classes have students who are super competitive and people like me who are more casual and want to just come and learn without participating in competitions. I have found that the GB Agoura professors and coaches are supportive of both types of students. The kids classes are great because the kids have their own fantastic professors and coaches. It seems as though families drive from far away to have their kids learn from the professors who coach at this location. I am constantly encouraging my kid’s school friends to join. Hayden Jungling2023-08-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An amazing place to train with a great, friendly community that will encourage you along the way at any point in your journey. Professor Zane's classes and instruction are top notch and I've been hooked on BJJ since I started this April. Professor Jaeson and Coach Shariq are also great teachers that I've learned a lot from. Very professional and highly recommended! Arpaporn Benjasab2023-08-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Always wanted to try Jiu-Jitsu but being over 50, I wasn’t sure if it was for me. Fortunately I found Gracie Barra Agoura. The professors are patient and highly skilled practitioners and teachers. I highly recommend this gym! Christina Cho2023-04-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn't be happier with the jiu jitsu classes that my 5-year-old son has been attending! The instructors are incredibly patient and supportive, and they've created a fun and safe learning environment that has really helped my son to develop his skills and confidence. I love that they focus not just on the physical aspects of jiu jitsu, but also on the values of respect, discipline, and teamwork. My son always comes home from class with a big smile on his face, and I can see the progress he's making every week. I highly recommend this jiu jitsu class to any parents looking for a great martial arts program for their kids!"
