About Us
​Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is known as the "gentle art." It encourages students to use their opponents’ power against them instead of using sheer brute force. The goal of a match is not to disable your opponent but to have them submit (tap out). This results in fewer injuries than other types of martial arts and allows students to develop their skills to perfection. You do not need to be the larger or stronger person to win a match – instead, the person with better technique finds victory at our school.
Started in 2005, GB Costa Mesa is a unique hub for a broad range of people and professions. A great family atmosphere, awesome students, and family members – this Jiu Jitsu academy is more than just another Jiu Jitsu gym. A great mix of competitive and casual Jiu-Jitsu practitioners, Gracie Barra Costa Mesa sets itself apart from the other gyms through it’s actions with the community!
