Gracie Barra Martial Arts & Fitness Centre
NEW exciting program of classes will be ready end of May/June. These classes will be accessed with the new Barrafit membership card for non jiu jitsu members. If you are already a member of our jiu jitsu program, then you can upgrade to the New GB3 membership that. The New Gym is looking great and is just missing its Jiu Jitsu family!

As you no doubt have heard we have moved to Saint Luke's Place, G5 OTS. The Gym is located in the Gorbals area of Glasgow and as soon as the government let us, we are ready for you! It is the first. There are many reasons to begin BJJ. Some start to get fit, some to learn self-defence, others to make new friends.

Becoming a student of Gracie Barra Brazilian Jujitsu Glasgow has been life changing. I enrolled my 2 daughters 4yrs and 9yrs in June this year and seeing the positive influence and confidence Gracie Barra built in my children, inspired me at 45 yrs to enroll myself. This is a family run Academy and the family feeling is the first thing you notice the minute you walk in the door. From 4 years old to 64 years old you will be in safe hands at Gracie Barra Brazilian JuiJitsu Glasgow.

A really friendly and welcoming BJJ school for all levels of practitioners. Since joining in August, I've been made to feel like part of a team despite being a beginner. I can't recommend this place enough. If you're even considering getting into BJJ, I'd definitely suggest going down for a trial class and seeing for yourself what a great it is to be.

I have trained BJJ at a few different gyms since starting 4 years ago and I have never experienced such a welcoming, friendly place for all kinds of people regardless of their ambitions, goals or experience within BJJ. There is a place for everyone here and you will feel like part of the Gracie Barra family as soon as you step foot through the door!

Just dropped by for a class tonight as I was visiting from the US. Ricky was very friendly along with the whole team. They welcomed me as I've been there awhile. Had some great rolls, nice level of grappling, and friendly people. See you guys soon! Thank you again.

Professor Ricky Gillon is very helpful and proficient on both Jiujitsu and teaching. There are good grappling athletics who can won gold and silver medals but could not even explain their best techniques to students. What really matters is the mastery of the art, Prof Ricky can guide you through your journey whether you are new to martial arts or you are a seasoned wrestler! Highly recommended!

I haven't trained with this gym yet, as I am recovering from a previous injury. But I am SO EXCITED to join/start again. Looking forward to meeting all the coach's and other members. I know from experience as a prior martial artist that this gym has the best reviews.
All the best and looking forward to join. Could someone give me a rough estimate of the monthly classes. Like a price per month for ALL classes.
Good luck. See yous soon guys.
