⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ • 2 years ago

Been training At Gracie Barra Barnsley for five years now along with my son who is nearly thirteen. It’s such a friendly welcoming atmosphere for all ages and abilities. It’s been a life changing decision to train here , my sons c confidence has grown and We’ve both made some really good friends. I’d recommend GB Barnsley to anyone, the professor , Oliver is a world class athlete and competes all over the world. You have nothing to lose you get a free introductory class and everyone will welcome you there. BJJ is brilliant for self defence and you’ll get in really good shape as well. Give it a go!

I've probably attended 15/16 gyms over my life across the UK and Europe. This is the most professional set up I've encountered. It's extremely welcoming to new comers and the clarity of instruction is fantastic.

Our little one has been attending here since he turned 4. The team are great - patient, clear and full of motivation. The way they watch the children carefully and mentor individual changes is brilliant to watch. We have now been attending for a year and would thoroughly recommend that you give them a try.
