Amazing a program

Adults Brazilian jiu jitsu

Since the dawn of the sport, we have offered classes for adults that teach people of all backgrounds and skill levels the gentle art of Jiu-Jitsu. Our structured curriculum is designed specifically to help you succeed during your training in the art of Jiu-Jitsu.

We offer a wide range of adult Jiu-Jitsu classes so students can choose the class that best suits their needs. We have three tiers of classes that address varying degrees of skill and knowledge - GB1 for Beginner Students, GB2 for Advanced Students, and GB3 for Black Belt Students.

Youth programs

Our Gracie Barra Youth Program is designed to teach children self-discipline and provide a sense of community. Children over the age of three can begin their training experiencing the true power of camaraderie and integrity.

Our GB Youth Program is structured similarly to adult courses, with adaptations made to reach the different age ranges in the class. Jiu-Jitsu classes for children begin with the building blocks that are needed to teach the fundamentals of Jiu-Jitsu. We have developed a curriculum that is structured in a way that shows children and teens the value of routine, cooperation and self-awareness and offers real-world benefits.

Advanced program

Advance your Brazilian Jiu Jitsu knowledge during this course. Take your training beyond the fundamentals and begin to hone the principles you need to succeed on and off the mats such as discipline, respect, commitment, and leadership.

Not enough English fluent instructors only one. He’s underrated. He is English speaking and very kind and intelligent. The older men are intolerant and do not speak fluent English nor do they understand English without proper interpretation. Unless you’re of Persian, Israeli, or anything like that, I do not recommend.

We are incredibly grateful to have found this Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym for our 7 year old daughter. She started training here three months ago, and we've already seen so many positive changes. We initially wanted her to try BJJ to develop self-defense skills, and it has exceeded our expectations.What we love most about Gracie Barra Tarzana/BJJ are the values it instills in children—respect, confidence, strength, and endurance. The emphasis on respect is especially important to us, and the instructors here make sure it is at the core of every lesson regardless of age. We need more of this! They create a structured environment where focus and discipline are key, but they also maintain a calm and supportive atmosphere that makes each class enjoyable. This gym strikes a perfect balance between fostering a serious commitment to learning and creating a positive, welcoming space for kids. Highly recommend this gym to anyone considering BJJ for their child!

I have practiced BJJ for 5 years since I turned 75 and have trained in 7 clubs study in the USA.This Tarzana Club is the best I have seen, not only for its roomy physical facility and freeway convenient location but most importantly for the hospitable fellowship among members.The friendliness engendered here is as important for skill development as the formal instruction. And because of mutual respect among club members injuries almost unknown.One star detractors are just the kind of chronic misanthropes who are never happy and no one likes. So, ignore their score, get fit, and have fun in the process.Please come join us in this safe opportunity to protect yourself, embolden your children, and improve your health.

Great place for adults and kids to train improve and advance their jiu jitsu skills. From beginner to advanced all under one roof. Great atmosphere, clean mats and bathrooms. Showers are always cleaned. I would definitely recommend this school for any age and skill level.
