BJJ at Grace Barra Wakefield has been a great experience so far. People are friendly and you get a really good workout while learning new things every week. Dan is a great, patient coach. I haven't had this much fun working out in years!

Great place for kids to learn BJJ in a friendly and safe environment. Our 8 year old daughter was nervous before starting but loves it! Good mixture of ages and boys/girls. Excellent instruction.

Speaking as a middle aged, love-handled male, that barley exercised before, this place is great! There's no better form of exercise than Juijistu in my opinion. It's fun, energetic and you can watch the weight just fall off, plus you'll learn to choke your friends in thier own clothes. If you're looking to compete, they'll give you skills necessary to bring home medals. Yes the payments are monthly direct debit, but that's how most gyms and martial arts gyms that are worthwhile attending do it. There's enough classes to get your money worth though and you can train at other Gracie Barra gyms too. I'll guarantee you'll make some new friends here and the coaching, led by Coach Dan and Professer Oliver, is second to non.
