Gracie Barra Jiu Jitsu in San Diego - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

I had an amazing experience at Gracie Barra San Diego. Professor Arley Ogawa is not only a great friend of mine, but truly an outstanding Jiu-Jitsu instructor. His knowledge, leadership, and passion for teaching are next level. The academy offers a structured Jiu-Jitsu program for adults and an incredible Kids Program that focuses on confidence, discipline, and real self-defense skills. Their Anti-Bully Program is especially powerful for children, helping them build character while learning how to protect themselves in a safe and supportive environment. What I really respect is that Professor Arley and his entire team are certified through the Gracie Barra ICP (Instructor Certification Program). That means classes follow a structured curriculum with high teaching standards and professionalism. If you’re looking for authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, self-defense, and a strong community in San Diego, this is the place. Highly recommended. Marcos Barros

I visited as a GB guest from another school. Absolutely great coaches, awesome guys to roll with, I fully enjoyed! I can’t say enough good things about this Jiu-Jitsu location! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and supported. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging. I’d love to return once my schedule allows for it. Until then, thank you Professor Ale for everything!!

Gracie Barra San Diego is an amazing place to learn Jiu Jitsu! The instructors are very knowledgeable and great people. Whether you are signing up your kids or training as an adult, they offer a ton of convenient classes. It's also fun to be a part of the great community they've cultivated. I've been training here for over 4 years, and Jiu Jitsu has added more to my life, both physically and mentally, than I could have imagined when I first started. Do yourself a favor and try it out.
