My son has been attending Gracie Barra Carlton for over a year. It is such a great school, with friendly staff that it feels like family. My son has gained so much confidence and continues to learn new skills weekly. It’s very convenient being able to choose class days each week as our work commitments always change. Both of my sons have also attended the school holiday camps- they love it! I always know they are in safe hands with all of the team at Gracie Barra. The gym recently expanded their space, it’s so great having the two rooms. All in all, a fantastic clean venue with great classes and staff!
I have nothing but praise for the coaches of the kids groups at Gracie Barra Carlton. They are kind and sympathetic but they always hold the kids to high expectations of behaviour and attitude. They have been amazing at not only teaching my daughter jujitsu skills but also guiding her through the challenges of wining, losing, getting hurt and handling frustration. Thanks Gracie Barra!
Enrolled my son with GB Carlton and he has been more than welcomed from day one. All coaches are great with kids. Passionate in what he does and teaches children with great patience. If you are a parent and want the right people to teach and mentor your children in the right path, this is the place. Safe, professional and clean. Highly recommend!
My 3 years old son Beni has recently started attending the classes twice a week. At the begging he was very unsure and shy but with the help of Coaches Rodolfo, Pedro, Storm and the rest of the amazing team he is getting so much more confident! Now he gets really happy and excited when is time to go to the class. The team is very patient, calm and supportive with the young kids and it’s clear that they are very professional and passionate about it. We can’t recommend this place enough!
Wish I can give more stars....literally they are the best, we've tried different sports over 4 years now but my older son never got hooked but this place is a game changer. The professor and the coaches are just another level, everyone is welcoming and nice. Tom thank you for always answering my inquiries and always being extremely helpful. The professor (what a genuine person you are) the coaches (Nick thank you for engaging the kids in a fun way that they never get bored) and even the group of people you train with is never disappointing. No one will let you down, it is very supportive environment. Moreover, it is very clean and tidy studio. The BJJ is not just a sport it is a mental and physical training; it is for everyone. Now all the family train at GB Carlton.
Highly recommend it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We wanted to find a jui-jitsu club for our son in the area that we felt was friendly, positive, professional, understanding and above all fun. Gracie Barra Carlton is all of the above and more. The staff are amazing. Professor Rodolfo and the rest of the coaches are fantastic with the kids and adults classes. Their teaching style is amazing. We love it and feel very welcome here and we are so glad we found this club to be a part of.
