Elise Ver Haar2024-06-26The Gracie Barra program is wonderful, and this is definitely the best location of them all. When my child expressed interest in martial arts, I looked at several kinds/ styles, and this seemed to be the best fit for us. Then looking at other Gracie Barra locations in the area (Dana Point, Aliso Viejo), this facility was the best in my opinion. It may seem out of the way, but the space is large, very clean, and the parking is easy. They have plenty of seating for parents/ siblings, clean bathrooms, separate changing rooms. The professors are amazing, my child loves it, and we couldn't be happier with our decision. We love coming to the parent participation class on Saturday mornings too!Joel Otten2023-11-29Our 5 year old has been coming here for the past 1.5 years and we love it for many reasons. All the instructors are great. She has made a couple friends. She is learning some controlled aggression, which I really appreciate as she is pretty passive for the most part. And they teach good values such as listening to your parents. If you are considering, give it a try and you'll be impressed.John Pontius2023-09-25I am very impressed and pleased with GB San Clemente. I had never done BJJ before & Coach Josh introduced me to the whole process, fitted my ghi and rash guard & had a great conversation about why I wanted to join. My first class was the perfect introduction. There are plenty of professors (or master level coaches) & they give competent instruction & corrections. We want to be able to roll on the next day, so injury prevention & cleanliness are paramount. GB SC is fantastic.Kell Bell2023-03-08Gracie Barra is so incredible. My children have flourished while in the program. They love love love coming every week. The professors are so kind and knowledgeable.Daria Goncharova2022-11-17My daughter, my son and me go to this gym and we love it ❤️ the best place for kids to learn martial arts, find new friends, have a lot of fun and activities. I definitely recommend it 😊Google rating score: 4.9 of 5, based on 36 reviews
