GB Ventura

Highly recommend this facility. Every single professor, instructor, and member is very friendly and warm. You will feel very comfortable during your training with not only your body but also your mind challenged appropriately! On top of the wonderful jiu jitsu facility, the new strength and conditioning side is wonderful! Everything you need to have a great workout with machines, barbells and dumbbells/kettlebells and a turf for your hyrox needs.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (10 out of 5 stars!) Our family absolutely loves Gracie Barra Ventura! My kids have been attending for nearly two years, and I recently joined about two months ago. The entire community has been nothing short of amazing — welcoming, supportive, and truly inspiring. The women’s class (GBF) has been an incredible group of strong, encouraging women who make every session something to look forward to. Even in the co-ed classes, the environment is always respectful and uplifting. My kids have had the chance to learn from outstanding role models and to grow in all the best ways — developing discipline, respect, confidence, perseverance, and humility, just like Jiu-Jitsu teaches. If you’re considering joining, no matter your age or experience level, do it! Jiu-Jitsu here doesn’t just build physical strength — it reignites your passion for life. Gracie Barra Ventura is truly a family, and we’re so grateful to be a part of it.

Truly an Amazing Academy! Gracie Barra Ventura has been life changing for me physically and mentally! The staff is super helpful and friendly and the professors/ instructors truly work to bring out the best in you! If you’re looking to get into the beautiful art of jiu jitsu I HIGHLY recommend GRACIE BARRA VENTURA!

This place is truly special. Each and every one of us come from a different walk of life- ups, downs, traumas, stagnancies, challenges- over all humanitarian experiences. Coming here has allowed me to face aspects of myself that I have been needing to meet with, to fine tune, condition and heal. Going beyond the physicalities of this martial art- practicing jiujitsu at Gracie barra has allowed me to touch bases on mind body and spirit. To witness my discomforts, to work with them- and working towards the transmutation of them. As someone who has always struggled with social anxiety since a little girl, within this short time that I have started- this place has been a beacon of my growth and willingness to heal. To show up for myself every time i step on the Mat and be faced with all the things within and outside myself. Creating an inner alliance amongst the aspects that I carry. Each day I come to class in an opportunity to grow, and give myself a chance. I have been incredibly thankful for all the AMAZING instructors here. The owners have been extremely supportive and show a lot of kindness to their members. My son who is 4 years old also attends this gym. I have been especially impressed by each and every one of his coaches. The way they work with the children here, and welcome them is unlike many places I’ve seen. If your looking for a place to deepen your connection with yourself- looking for some healing; or simply just to learn jiujitsu this is the place to be. I also love how owner Des told me when I first started that coming here I would be able to take what I needed from this practice and use it as my own- as I see fit for my being and personal desires to accomplish. That is the beauty of martial arts. And all the better to embark on this journey with a supportive and encouraging team.. which is what this place offers. Shout out to remy for holding down the woman’s self defense class. She is an awesome instructor who truly loves what she does and it shows. Everyone here has their own beauty, and we all come together to share this profound universal experience.. Thank you!.. x

Great academy and great environment. The instructors are world class! Kids and adult classes. Beginners are brought up gradually. Wide range of skill levels and sizes for training partners. The mental and physical health benefits speak for themselves, but training in an environment like this makes it even better. I recommend anyone that is looking to start or continue their jiujitsu journey give GB Ventura a try.
