Gracie Barra Newport Beach Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Martial Arts

This is a great place filled with awesome people. If you want to work out and learn to defend yourself check this place out.

This is an excellent place to learn Brazilian jiu jitsu. Quality instruction in a family atmosphere by world champion Tom Reusing. You’ll get a great workout and learn practical skills in a friendly environment. I really love this place.

I can’t even begin to tell you how much these instructors have changed my life. I had ventured into several other BJJ facilities over several years and I never quite felt welcome. As soon as I walked in and met with AJ, I knew this was going to be my home for training. I was welcomed in, given a complete breakdown of their expectations of me, and what I should expect from them. The mats were clean, the instructors were professional, intelligent, and caring. As for Tom, he has been so helpful guiding me along my path and keeping his instructors moving in the right direction; the direction of caring for the students, not the pocket book. This is not a cookie cutter make a quick buck training facility, this is a home for us. Since my training started, I feel more confident in my abilities, I’m more productive at work, and my overall health has improved dramatically. If you’re looking to learn BJJ for self defense, sport, weight loss, or to lower your daily stress, Gracie Barra under Tom Reusing is the place to be. They will do everything in their power to help you achieve your goals. I’ve had such a great experience, my four kids also train under Tom and AJ; can’t thank them enough.

Professor Tom Reusing is as a legitimate a Jiu Jitsu teacher that anyone could ask for. Awesome technique, amazing leader. Children and adults alike will learn how to defend themselves in a safe, family-​friendly environment.

Gracie Barra Newport Beach is a great place for people of all ages to learn quality Brazilian Jiu Jitsu! I have been training under Professor Tom Reusing for almost 4 years and have only great things to say about him. The Gracie Barra family is very welcoming and safe, but you’ll also get a great workout while learning self defense. This location is just a few steps away from the beach, so bring the family down to train and then spend some time on the sand!

Quality instruction and a great family atmosphere. Professor Tom and all of the instructors have the know-​how and passion to make learning this beautiful art an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
Can’t recommend this academy highly enough.
