My life is dedicated to Jiu Jitsu. My goal was simply to build a brotherhood to lead the expansion of BJJ while respecting the essence of our art. My students are an extension of my family. I want each one of them to achieve their personal best while helping spread Jiu-Jitsu. We must do that honouring the traditions and efforts of those who came before us.
The class structure is the trademark of all Gracie Barra Schools. Classes start on time and adhere to a standardised curriculum and class structure. As a student, you know up front what is expected of you and have a clear understanding of what to expect from your instructors and training partners. The consistency of this structure combined with the creativity and innovation of our devoted instructors blend perfectly to facilitate your progress.

Jiu-Jitsu is often likened to a game of human chess. If you don't like to work out at a gym because you get bored, you're not alone. Many of our students were tired of going to the gym, and they couldn't find new songs or audio books to entertain them on the treadmill. They found Jiu-Jitsu to be the perfect workout because it requires a high level of concentration proportional to the amount of calories burned and pounds lost.
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 excel in any endeavor, individuals need to have a strong set of values and a solid character that gives them perseverance to achieve his or her goals. The Gracie Barra Kids Programme was created to provide children ages 3-15 with an environment that allows them to experience and understand core values like focus, discipline, persistence, cooperation and respect.
Your 1st free intro class will take around 30 minutes which we will introduce you to our specific Gracie Barra warm up and a few basic concepts within the sport, also dojo etiquette. Your 2nd free intro session will be one of the timetabled group classes. With your knowledge of the introductory private session, you will be able to fully participate and enjoy the class with everyone else.

Every time I visit London I train at GB Oval. Professor Eduardo is an amazing instructor. Highly technical and always willing to help on and off the mats. The level of jiu jitsu is very good. All the students has always been super respectful. Nothing bad to say about this place, seriously! 5 stars for sure.

I have been training with this academy for the past year and half and can honestly say it has been such a positive, life changing experience for me. Eduardo, Wayne and Courtenay couldn't be more welcoming and attentive whilst offering each student a wealth of knowledge and genuine one on one guidance. I have progressed physically, mentally and spiritually whilst training with these guys and couldn't recommend GB Oval more. If you've been thinking about giving BJJ a try then this is the gym for you :)

I’ve been training with Eduardo and Carol for over 6 months now and can honestly say it’s one of the best things I’ve done in my adult life. BJJ is an incredible physical and mental journey and I can’t imagine a better place to learn it than Gracie Barra Oval. Eduardo creates an incredibly welcoming but serious training environment and the students the gym attracts seem to all be universally nice people. If you ever considered doing a martial art, do BJJ and do it at GBO if you live in the London area.
