Gracie Barra New Westminster Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

I learned Tae Kwon Do, Jeet Kune Do and Filipini Kali, and Boxing in the past. These all took place in different environments. However, this Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gym is not like any other. The team is very welcoming and it is another home for you. Professor Raz and the staff have incredibley flexible schedules that allow you to take BJJ regardless of your busy circumstance. If you have free time, you take more BJJ. If you are busy, then don't worry, there will be a class available.The strongest part about this gym is the community. Rolling with people with different skill levels give yoy an opportunity to learn and make mistakes. You should enroll in this gym as soon as possible.

Gracie Barra New Westminster feels like a family than just a Jiu Jitsu gym, shout out to Professor Raz and Cosch Jose. All the staff and mates are very friendly and passionate. Definitely recommend going and start learning!

I've been training at GB New West since March 2019, and I can confidently say that joining this gym has been one of the best decisions of my life! The gym is a safe and friendly environment for both kids, and adults and the technical skills of the professors and coaches are unparalleled. I'm happy to be a part of this community :)

I recently joined Gracie Barra New West and it's been a great experience so far. Everyone here is very friendly and patient especially with beginners like myself. Professor Raz is very helpful and made the whole process of starting Jui Jitsu very easy. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone thinking about joining.

I was nervous hitting the mats and getting into BJJ but after giving it a shot in the Gracie Barra new west gym with professor Raz, I am now in love with the sport and regularly attend classes.everyone at this site is super friendly and encouraging and you will never feel out of place throughout your learning and training. Since I have joined in March 2023, I have lost 5 Kilos and can feel myself getting stronger everyday.I highly recommend trying out this Gracie Barra location if you are curious about BJJ, maybe you’ll find your passion like I did.

I've now been training for about 3 months (Aug/2022) and all I can say is WOW.Amazing gym.I first brought my four-year-old son to BJJ in an attempt to get him involved but he was too young to really follow instruction yet, and I thought I might be too old to start but once I chatted with Professor Raz (and Josh, another instructor) it was clear that one is never too old to train BJJ (I'm 43). That being the case, why not give it a go?Decided to take the two-week trial and was almost immediately hooked! It became an addiction. Amazing cardio and fantastic way to keep fit. There are no meatheads here, the people you roll with are awesome, and everyone there just seems to want to help you get better. It's not intimidating or overwhelming in the slightest, in fact, I found the other students quite welcoming.The Professor has an uncanny ability to show you the both the mechanics of a technique as well as the principles behind it. Not to mention great taste in literature ;)I started out kind of curious, but now the BJJ bug has hit me hard and I'm more than thankful that I found a gym with such high quality as I have with the New Westminster Graca Barra gym. Every day I look forward to learning something new and trying out the move I have been working on.No matter what age you are, this is the place to get started or continue your BJJ journey!HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Excellent. Everyone is so welcoming in this space. I came onto the mat knowing nothing about jiu-jitsu and I have never once felt unwelcome or uncomfortable. The Coaches are amazing and know how to teach sequences in ways that make sense. The Students are respectful and a great learning community. I definitely recommend checking out Gracie Barra New West if you're into learning some new skills!

Professor Raz and his team of coaches are amazing teachers and mentors. They truly care about the success of their students and members and not only help them develop their skills and techniques in the art of BJJ but also naturally building one of the most loyal family/member circles in the community. I cannot say enough good things about Professor Raz and GB New West.

Hands down the best martial arts I could have enrolled my kid in. Here he learns so much more than the sport itself. We have been attending this gym for over 2 years. Through the pandemic they offered online classes at a discounted rate for the kids. My kid has learned respect , antibullying and self defense. Here we are part of a family . The professors are amazing with the kids. All of them. Highly recommend this location .

JOIN! Can honestly say training here is one of the best decisions I've made. Coaches/Professors and students are so supportive! You'll feel how tight the community is here right away. It's always a fun time coming in to class, so if you're having doubts or a bit nervous to join, know that you're welcomed with open arms so just do it! Be a part of this fam! :) <3
