Gracie Barra Maricopa Brazilian JiuJitsu - Maricopa, Arizona

Best decision for my family. My husband and son joined back in August. It was originally going to serve as a PE for my son. I have never needed to drag my son to any class. There is a special patience and quality to training that professor Vince and his coaches have that really make people want to come back. Not long after training both my son and my husband decided to become competitive. They both were able to place in their division, and I believe a good part of that was the special attention that the professor and coaches provided, when finding out they signed up for the competition. Not only that, but they stood behind them during each competition. I gladly sit through 3-4 classes on a daily basis because of how much my family enjoys it. You can tell by the size of the kids class that they enjoy to be here and to be trained by Professor Vince and his coaches. The size of the kids class works great for a variety of different training techniques that they get to practice as opposed to smaller classes. Can’t wait for a bigger building even though I’m sure they’ll fill that building up too because people really enjoy this atmosphere. Thankful for Professor Vince and his staff at Maricopa Gracie Barra.

A fantastic gym that will make you feel welcome even when starting from the ground floor. I quickly had enough of a BJJ game to roll with people of all skill levels (to learn). Joining this gym built confidence, health, strength, and it’s a supportive social atmosphere. Could not recommend it enough!

I’m disappointed with my experience at this location. I scheduled a free class through the Gracie Barra website—I didn’t just walk in randomly. The first time I came, I was excited but nervous, only to find the doors locked. I figured it was just an off day and didn’t think much of it.

I rescheduled for another class, but when I showed up again, no one was there. You’d expect that if you make an appointment, your professor would be there, or at the very least, you’d receive an email or notification about any changes. It was frustrating, especially since Gracie Barra promotes that jiu-jitsu is for everyone, but this location seems to be lacking in organization and communication.

I’m rating it 1 stars because I feel bad and I’m sure the night classes are great, with attentive teachers. However, I chose morning classes because I work full-time nights, so mornings are my only option. If this location isn’t open in the mornings, they shouldn’t list those times on the schedule. Please consider updating your hours to reflect actual availability.

Why would you advertise something then not follow through very upsetting and disappointed ?‍♀️

So far it's been a good experience. My son started in May and I started about a month ago. Professor Vincent is a solid teacher. As well as his other coaches.

Overall this is an awesome school! Professor Vincent and coaches are very patient and make it a great environment to learn Jiu-Jitsu. The schedule makes it easy for you to train before or after work or even throughout the day on your day off. I’m always looking forward to come in and train with the Maricopa team.

My child attends the kids classes and they absolutely love it, they are so good with kids! If your kid has extra energy and needs to learn a disciplined way to get that out I highly suggest these classes! The professor and coach are so good with kids. I also take the adult class and it’s been the best workout I’ve ever had! Such a family friendly place! You gotta check them out!

Hunter age 9yr, training here for 5 months, says “I love it”. The coaches are very nice and knowledgeable, firm when needed. Both kids are learning great life lessons and are being challenged physically. Our experience has been wonderful!
