Reviews
Very welcoming. I tried both the BJJ and the MuayThai class before I signed on with the gym allowing me the opportunity to get a wholesome perspective as to what it had to offer. The staff is always polite, and the professors are very knowledgeable
Lots of fun! Got almost the whole family in there. I'm a white belt and barely know what I'm doing, but having a blast! Also the staff is great with kids. You can see how much they love teaching the little ones when you watch them interact.
Great place! Positive environment that challenges and encourages growth and personal development for kids of all ages and adults. Whether you want to train to learn self defense, physical fitness or train to compete this is a good place for that. Highly recommend.
Have history in multiple sports boxing and wrestling included, this is the the best workout I’ve had. Love the professors and fellow students. The comradeship and overall vibe here is elite and plan on training here for years to come!
Excellent facility, professors, and environment. I brought my 15 year old son here 5 months ago and it changed his demeanor and overall shyness. I only wish I would have started him sooner.
Frequently Asked Questions
IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?
Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at GB Chula Vista. It's the best way to experience our training environment, meet our coaches, and see if BJJ is right for you. No experience or equipment needed — comfortable athletic clothing is fine.
DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE TO START?
No experience necessary! GB Chula Vista welcomes complete beginners. Our instructors break down every technique step by step, and our community is known for being welcoming and patient with new students. Everyone starts as a white belt, and that's exactly where you should start too.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?
For your first visit, comfortable athletic clothing works perfectly — a t-shirt and shorts or athletic pants. Once you commit to training regularly, you'll want to invest in a gi (kimono). Our coaches can recommend quality options at a range of price points.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?
Most students at GB Chula Vista train 2 to 3 times per week and see consistent progress. Showing up regularly matters far more than training intensely once in a while. We offer multiple class times throughout the week so you can find a schedule that fits your life.
DO YOU OFFER CLASSES FOR KIDS?
We primarily serve adult students. Please contact us directly to ask about availability for younger students — we're happy to point you in the right direction.
