EXCELLENT Based on 40 reviews Nicole Taylor2025-05-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a great place to train. Clean facility, friendly inviting staff, and safe place to learn self defense. Eli Con2025-05-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I walked into Gracie Barra Murrieta one summer afternoon, and right away, Professor Mike, Coach Ryna, and little Lex made us feel super welcome—like family. My daughter was 3.5 at the time, full of energy and not much focus, so I asked if she was too young to start BJJ. Prof. Mike said she was totally ready. Now, 9 months in, I’ve seen such a big change in her—she’s more focused, disciplined, and confident. The gym is always clean, the program is solid, and they really help set kids up with life skills. Big shoutout to the GB Murrieta crew—love you guys! Keep doing what you do. 💪❤️ P.S. Don't mind the one star review... very odd and not the norm as you can see Jennifer Eaton2025-05-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the best place around. The staff is so friendly, knowledgeable and work incredible with the students. There is set structure, and they really care about the kids. I could not ask for a better place for my kids to learn jiu-jitsu Rob Yowell2025-05-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent BJJ gym. Can’t say enough great things about Professor Mike and the motivation he brings to each and every class! If you are thinking about trying BJJ for the first time or looking for a new gym to train at, this is the place for you.

Structured, welcoming classes coach ryna and professor mike are amazing individuals pushing everyone to achieve their goals in jiu jitsu. 10/10 I recommend this place to everyone i talk to, they’re my second family at heart Natalie Weist2025-04-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing place. My husband started here first and I would just sit by and watch and decided I needed to join. Before I even joined they made me feel like I was apart of their team and family. Professor and coach Ryna are amazing people to be around. They make us feel like their own kids even when we aren’t there, they’re asking where we’re at. 1000% recommend this place Heidi Gil2025-04-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gracie Barra Murrieta is an awesome place to train. Professor Mike is super knowledgeable and down-to-earth, and he really takes the time to help you improve. The vibe is very welcoming, positive, and everyone is just so respectful and fun to train with. I can’t wait to bring my son here as well once he’s a little older, 100% would recommend! Juan Sanchez2025-04-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gracie Barra Murrieta is my home away from home. Professor Mike and Coach Ryna are extremely professional, enthusiastic about the sport of jujutsu, and very passionate about teaching and passing their knowledge to every student. I been training at GB Murrieta since it open and I feel lucky to be part of such great jiu-jitsu Academy. Everyone that walks in is greeted and treated with respect , whether you’re a student, a parent, or someone visiting rest assured that you’re going to have a positive and joyful experience. I have two of my grandkids training and I can honestly say that jujutsu has helped them grow in so many ways. They are more confident in them selves, more focused, and they don’t get bullied. Come by (parents or kids) and try a free class and I can almost guarantee that you’re going to get hooked on the sport of jujutsu.
