GB Whittier

It's a perfect place to take your little one. The coaches have a lot of patience for the children and work on motivating them to continue practicing. My son loves to get promoted so he's learning that hard work and dedication lead to results.

Elena has had such a great experience in the past few weeks and she is a beginner. All the coaches are great and attentive.

Definitely recommend bringing your children here to start their Ju Jitsu journey - the coaches are fantastic and patient with the children, whilst maintaining the discipline on the mat. The sessions are structured and fun for the kids, starts w conditioning, learning a move & then finishing with a game. My daughter loves it and shows great enthusiasm, will definitely continue to take her here. 10/10 highly recommended, try out the 3 free sessions and see for yourself!

Was Looking for sports activity for my boy of 8 years. Team sports like soccer didn’t work out for him; he just wasn’t interested. I found Gracie Barra studio in Whittier. The place looked great and clean. The staff were enthusiastic and helpful. After the first week my boy began to show lots of interest and now looks forward to the sessions especially the sparing. I highly recommend Gracie Barra jujitsu It’s making a positive difference in my boys life and is enjoying making friends.
