Gracie Barra Jiu Jitsu Edmonton

I've gone to a number of martial arts gyms and this has been by far the best. First, the gym is probably the largest in Edmonton. It has numerous facilities and is super clean, something that's rare for a mrtial arts gym. Second, you can take a number of classes here, the highlight of which are the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes. Now, I see a few reviews here saying that the sport is too dangerous for the kids and that the kids have no supervision. It's true that the sport is one which involves physical contact so it isn't something like basketball or even soccer. However, in my experience I've never seen a child get hurt at the gym. The instructors are super caring of the kids and make it a point to put safety first for them. It's for that reason that the kids love the instructors so much and have been going to the gym for years-the balance between safety and autonomy is a good one. This is also the reason why the family environment is so good at Legends. If you're looking for a place where your whole family can go, this is definitely the right choice. I could definitely say alot more about what this gym has done for me but I doubt anyone would read a review that long. I wouldn't suggest listening to the people who gave it one star because it seems like those people literally walked in, were there for 5 minutes, and didn't even get a chance to know the people or the environment. This is hands down a five star gym.

Over three years ago we put our son in jiujitsu at GB Edmonton and wow what an experience it has been. It has changed him in some amazing ways. He became a leader, he is focused and learning about patience and the challenges that come from losing and how to manage his emotions. He is a different kid, who swells with pride each day after class. Since then I have also joined and raised my own fitness level to the best it has ever been in my lifetime through the Barra Fit classes they offer. The coaches aren't just coaches they are our friends and we couldn't be happier! Love you guys! Thanks for all that you do for the families who make the best decision to join your gym!

I had an amazing experience training and meeting everyone at Gracie Barra Edmonton. The facility is beautiful and impeccable clean. The staff is friendly and Professor Ryan is world class instructor. Students are friendly, helpful and the school is very family oriented. I totally recommend to anyone that is looking to start their Jiu-Jitsu journey.

My son and I both train at Legends, and have now for almost 3 years. Over this time we have met and become great friends with so many people from the Jiu Jitsu program, it has made the experience that much more incredible. My son started in the kids program and is now in the teen program, the changes that he has made over these last few years have been incredible, he has learned self confidence, he has developed an excellent attitude towards himself and others, as well, he has began a life long journey of jiu jitsu, which he loves! The kids program is fun for the kids and has helped teach my son not only jiu jitsu, but as well how to help others. I like how the newer students are paired up with the more experienced students, I always see the more experienced students stepping up and helping the newer students along while the coaching staff sits on the mat beside them and helps explain the move to the pairs that are struggling. Great experience thus far, I highly recommend this place for both parents and their children, you wont regret it!

I registered in their martial arts program, ran into knee problems, and experienced considerable difficulty in having my membership fees adjusted to reflect I was only taking their work out classes. Finally I sent a formal letter to break my membership contract, then I heard from them. I was not able to terminate my membership easily, under threat of being taken to court, and on the last day I was at the facility, I was publicly taken to task for non payment of fees, when in fact I paid the remaining months they insisted on in advance. They were attempting to double dip by continuing to debit my bank account. If not taking martial arts, avoid this facility at all costs. I'd give it a zero if I could.

An absolutely amazing experience for myself an my daughter. Supported by a group of devoted and gifted group of highly qualified coaches. Kids of all ages are known by name by these amazing people. The coaching staff patients and tolerance is remarkable given the large groups of children that gather there daily. I can't say enough about the extremely clean facility and warm, wonderful people.

Professional, Expert Training -- and FunI am in Edmonton for just a few months for work, so went in search of a local place to continue my BJJ training. I checked out several spots, but found Legends to be the best match for my interests and needs as a 2-stripe white belt. As a newcomer to Legends Training Center, I felt welcomed and treated with respect. Several people went out of their way to introduce themselves and to talk with me. Ryan's instruction is top-notch, clear, and consistent. The upper-level belts follow his lead and provide real-time feedback and support for the lower belts. The drilling is deliberate and controlled; each of the partners with whom I've worked has been excellent. The pace of the fundamentals class is ideal for learning and for reinforcement of the basics -- and for catching up on things I've been missing. At the same time, there is a lot of laughter and fun; no one seems to take themselves too seriously, which is awesome. I'm looking forward to my time here!

Really rude person who was driving the Gracie Barra SUV in the 17st McDonald’s drive through at 8:35~. Honking at the workers because he had to wait…. Rude.

I have been attending for a year and a half and I look forward to more years to come.Prof. Ryan is very approuchable, the staff is competent and always willing to answer questions. The staff is also very accomplished with most having either competed in the past or actively competing now.On a more personal level I have rarely been challanged as much as I have here. From continuing augmented training through my injury and 'rolling' after class I have learn humility and perseverance. If you are willing to ask questions you will learn a great deal about yourself here. Even an old guy like me!Hope to see you in here.
