    Professional and Structured Curriculum

    I’ve trained a variety of martial arts for my whole but my experience at Gracie Barra Orange has been second to none. The community was so welcoming and the classes were a great balance of challenging and easy to get into. The 16-week curriculum really helped me learn BJJ faster than any other martial arts school I tried.

    I strongly recommend GB Orange for those looking to start learning BJJ in a professional and structured environment

    My son Eric has been training with Gracie Barra Orange for over 3 years. It’s been so incredible to see him grow up with his BJJ friends over the years. BJJ has also had a huge impact on his confidence and social skills, helping him make new friends in a friendly welcoming environment.

    I also like how BJJ has given my son a framework to manifest his Discipline. Since he started to compete, he has been so focused and organised to make sure he performs well.

    It’s been life-changing for me and my son and I can’t imagine a reason why your child shouldn’t join

    In 2022 I started training BJJ at Gracie Barra Orange and it’s been an amazing journey for me. I’ve done competitions, overcame challenges and fears and made some of my best friends here. The women's team especially was so supportive of me when I started and now I get the honour of being a role model to women who are starting out.

    Through training and even teaching, I’ve grown so much more confident in it shows in my day to day life. Life has had its ups and downs but through it all, Gracie Barra Bondi has always been there for me

    Amazing Community

    Gracie Barra Orange has become like my second home, a home where I can learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from the best, and train with some of the coolest people I’ve ever met.

    I remember when I first came through the GB doors and was immediately welcomed in, the friendly vibe and atmosphere made it easy to get on those mats for the first time in my life.

    I have made countless friends and joined a family, a family that prides itself it inspiring people to be the best they can be.

    And for that I am forever grateful, thank you so much to Coach Pedro (Salgado) for starting me off on this life long journey and teaching me many lessons along the way.

    So! If you’ve ever thought of joining, whether it be for your fitness, to learn self defence or lose weight, I cannot recommend GB Orange enough!
