Testimonials

 

I had eight years of traditional martial arts experience when I started
at Gracie Barra Perth. On my first day, a 16 year old girl literally
wiped the floor with me. I was shocked. How could a slight girl with
only two years of training man handle me so easily?

That was five years ago. The wonder I felt on my first day hasn't left
 me. No matter how bad my day has been, going to BJJ in the evenings
 turns it around.
 
Oh, and how did that girl beat me so easily on that first day? It's no
secret. Quality instruction, good coaching and great training partners.

my children have been active students of bjj for about 4 years. the club is more than just a martial arts school. the environment and instructors make it fun and safe, they help instill self control and discipline to there students. my children say its a great experience and they look forward to attending each week. Grayson and his staff make my family very welcome and we feel a sense of belonging there. i would highly recommend anyone thinking of starting any martial art to join bjj and i feel they will have no regrets. Graysons knowledge in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is astounding and the harmony within his club is proof to his true sportsmanship. he and his club will make you feel very welcome

I am a blue belt and have been training at Gracie Barra Perth for almost four years . when i first started I was 14 and have trained regular since . Gracie Barra is the top the top bjj school in Perth due to a host of excellent instructors as well as some of the best and friendliest training partners you will meet . this high standard of instruction is shown by the results of the regular state championships which Gracie Barra has won consistently since the beginning of the west Australian federation of bjj. i have enjoyed training at Gracie Barra everyday since i started , and have learnt from everyone i have met here , everyone at the club has been eager to help me improve ,and it is because of each of them  that i am where i am now  in jiu-jitsu and life

I've been to numerous martial arts clubs looking for the various things I needed to feel I was at the right place- one training session later at Gracie Barra, I realised I was there!

Gracie Barra offers you a fun and enjoyable training session, yet disciplined to make you achieve your goals. This ranges from fitness and confidence, to self defence and wanting to compete. My personal goal was to train MMA (mixed martial arts) and compete. On August the 8th I finally was able to put to test what I had learnt- 16 seconds later I had won by knockout! If it wasn't for the friendly atmosphere of my team mates (many veterans of the sport) giving me the help and instruction they did, I couldn't have achieved this goal.

If you are looking for a fun, family friendly club, I highly recommended you try Gracie Barra!

My daughter and I have been members of Gracie Barra Perth for only a few months, but improvements can already be seen in both our fitness and BJJ skill.

I had been interested in BJJ for quite some time.  Thankfully, I contact Grayson West who encouraged us to come and have a look at both the adult and junior classes.  We were impressed with what we saw, particularly the fun and learning environment which is encouraged and the emphasis to technical detail and understanding.

My daughter attends the junior classes on Monday and Saturdays.  These classes are taken with a significant level of supervision with many adult students providing assistance which ensures her development is progressive and safe.

We both look forward to our respective training sessions with enthusiasm, and if you're interested in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, come and give Gracie Barra Perth a visit.

My kids (Damien & Rennik) were looking for something different after attaining their Black Belts at TKD. They found it at Grayson's Gym (Cannington) after their introduction session despite the fact that they were smashed by every other kid in the class, regardless of size and to the embarrassment of my kids, a girl. Reason is that they had no training fighting on the ground before BJJ and most fights do end up on the ground.

As a parent, you know you are getting value for your money when your kids are being trained by the Headmaster Grayson himself, not just any student that can "step in" for the day. Occasionally, various proven competition champions would be requested by Grayson to take the class to expose them to different skill sets, techniques and to share their experience.

While you are waiting on the side, you will be seating (if you are early) in a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. I have not seen any knitting sets yet but I have seen mothers joining in and taking up BJJ with Grayson.
