Welcome to Gracie Barra Vancouver
Gracie Barra Jiu-Jitsu believes in a functional approach to training martial arts & Brazilian Jiu Jitsu that is safe and effective. Our Professors and Coaches utilize up to date drills and training techniques to help take the student to the next level of physical, mental and spiritual perfection. Whether you seek training for competition, are out to learn self-defense, or perhaps looking for a fun way to release stress, you can be certain to be challenged in a safe, positive, and an athletic manner.
When asked, “What does Gracie Barra mean to you?” All of our students would have the same answer: A family. That is not fortuity. It is rather the result of life works of extraordinary individuals like count Mitsuyo Maeda, Carlos Gracie Sr., Rolls Gracie, Carlos Gracie Jr., and people like me who are dedicating their lives to the realization of their dreams and to the continuity of their legacies.
Our website is a virtual extension of our Jiu Jitsu Academy. You will find tons of information about our Martial Arts programs (Muay Thai Kick Boxing, Boxing & Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) and strength & conditioning group fitness classes. If you are not yet a Gracie Barra member, contact us today to schedule your Free Intro Class. You too can benefit from the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu lifestyle.
Message From Master Carlos Gracie Jr
“At the heart of the Gracie Barra Family’s extraordinary success over the years is our strong philosophy and mission as a group, a foundation which our masters laid many years ago, but is constantly being reinforced by the great people that make our community. Jiu-Jitsu is a beautiful art, and we have a vision of how it should be taught as a means for individual development going beyond the competitive realm. To achieve this vision, we must remember to come together as a family, always putting the team in front of individual. For that, we will fight to the end for what we believe is right”.
~ Master Carlos Gracie Jr. (Founder)
