Gracie Barra Corona

I’ve trained Jiu Jitsu no GI on and off and wrestling and some mma for some time. I’ve never been to a place that treats you so well and makes you feel like family. That’s the most important to me. The most amazing part is the technique and defense they have is incredible. I feel confident to compete finally because of GB and Tom Reusing is hands down the best professor I’ve ever trained under. A+. Give this place a chance and trust my words.

GB Corona has such a great vibe! Professor Tom and his students are very welcoming and are tough training partners. It’s definiately a family friendly academy. I can’t wait to visit again!

We’ve been going to Barra Gracie Jiu Jitsu now for about five weeks. They offered a free month in March which was very good as we had time to evaluate whether or not it was going to be good for my kid. During this time, watching the classes, interacting with the staff and noting the cleanliness of the place, we had a chance to ask many questions, talk with my daughter and make the best decision possible.
We decided to sign-​up and have not regretted it my child is happy and looks forward to every class. I love the fact that experienced martial artists are available and everyone has a team spirit, always looking to help the next person.
Quality of instruction is something that was high on our priority list when we were searching for a dojo and I won’t say that price was no object but I will say that we were willing to pay good money for a great jiu jitsu gym.

This place is legit. They offer classes every single day of the week and have a diverse range of highly skilled instructors to learn from. I learned something new and useful in every class and I always felt welcome. If you’re looking for a place to train in BJJ, I highly recommend coming to Gracie Barra Corona.

Amazing place!!! My nephews go here and they love it! The coaches are so nice, and great with the kids. I visit here every so often from Seattle to watch my nephews tournaments, and the staff and coaches are so good to the kids, they encourage them to do their best, they give the kids confidence, they teach them to believe in themselves, words are not enough to express how great this place is! Thank you Gracie Barra for making my nephews happy and teaching them how to be strong little men! #teamzakyandissy!

Been at this gym for almost 4 years now and the experience I’ve acquired has been truly remarkable and immaculate.

Aside from learning self defense, you’ll come to find that Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is good for your heart and mind and you’ll truly find yourself along the way. Come be apart of something truly amazing, with amazing people that keep positive vibes moving like a round of applause.

This is my first martial arts training and I am very impressed in how welcoming every one is, from the newest student to the highest instructor. Professor Tom is very experienced, skilled and a great instructor. They are LE friendly for those serving.
Gracie Barra has many dojos world wide and as a member you can attend any of them at no additional charge.
They also offer additional classes to include Muay Thai which is taught by a great instructor.
This is a great place for all to train including kids, adults, men or women.

Awesome place. First time training a martial art. Kru Dancer is a great instructor, clean, organized, diciplined place. Lots of kids train as well, they have a good schedule, and easy payment plans. You always know what to expect from the class, Kru Dancer is always up front.

This wasn’t my original school, but I stopped by to train here.
The professor is a decorated champ. The people here were friendly even though I was just a visitor.
Plenty of mat space and people are willing to share their knowledge of the art with you.
I was there early and saw the kids program — it looked great also.

This place is great! The staff is very friendly.

Let me begin by saying this is the first time I have ever been impressed enough by a business to actually write a review. I have been practicing BJJ for about a year now at a completely different school. Although I may not be a master BJJ player at this point I think I’ve been to enough classes to know good instruction when I see it. I have been attending the «Fundamentals» BJJ classes at this location for a couple weeks now and am wishing I started here earlier in my BJJ journey. First off, in the fundamentals class we typically go through a much lower number of techniques (maybe 3 – 4). I feel that this is a much more manageable number to actually remember. If you have trained before I’m sure you’ve gone to classes where they try to teach you 7 – 8 different moves and by the end you can’t remember the first. Not here (maybe in the advanced classes, not sure). Since there is a lower number of techniques you get more time to drill them. Drilling = muscle memory = you might actually be able to pull it off in a live roll. Much more attention is payed to the minutia of the moves and most often they are pretty basic moves. However, as any high level BJJ player will tell you, you don’t need a million different techniques to dominate your opponent. If you have a super-​tight, highly technical but very basic game you will go very far. Don’t worry about pulling off an electric chair from the lockdown in a live roll until you’re a purple belt. If you are a purple belt, no offense but this review really wasn’t meant for you. OK, so what about the «feel»? Everyone is there just to get better. No ego. Everyone is trying to help everyone else get better. And despite what the other poster said (or maybe because of) they do pair up the higher level belts with the lower level belts to get that mentor thing going. If you are thinking about getting into BJJ or are disatisfied with where you currently train you would be doing yourself a huge dis-​service by not checking this place out. Hope to see you on the mats!

Great facility, Great Instruction, Clean Mats and Great training partners.
Check this place out when you get the chance.

A friend of mine trains here and invited me to come try out their muay thai class. The people there are all very nice and friendly. The facility itself is nice and very clean. There are chairs on against the wall for spectators, lil tables with hand sanitizer and tissues on them. how convenient. and towards the back of the gym near the cage are the two bathrooms and a water dispenser for people like me who forget to bring water. I was confused when I saw the two bathrooms with no little man or woman with a dress on sign slapped on the door, so I just chose the bigger one and hoped that I wasn’t in the mens bathroom. Found out both bathrooms are for everyone. or coed I guess you could say.
I took both the beginner’s and advanced class. The beginner’s class consisted of a light warmup, practicing combos. first alone and then with a partner, and ended with some squats, pushups, and ab exercises. And I think i vaguely remember hearing some wai kru music playing in the background? That always gets me in the mood to train muay thai… gangsta music…
In the advanced class we got to do some padwork and more not so basic combos with a partner. The advanced class was nice because it was a lot smaller which meant more one on one attention with the instructor.
I’ve trained at quite a few gyms before, and I would definitely recommend this one if you could afford it — its a bit pricey for me compared to where I train at now. The price for just the muay thai class is actually more than what I pay to take unlimited classes at my current gym, 10^th Planet Jiujitsu Riverside. Overall, it looks like a great school with a really good muay thai program.
