Great gym! I had the privilege of training here one morning while visiting from out of town. Professor Josh was friendly, authentic and adept at communicating his knowledge in a way that even a lowly white belt like myself could understand. I had such a good experience here, and if I lived in the area, this is where I would want to train. Also was able to meet and learn with/from some really cool people. Definitely hoping to come back when I find myself in Asheville!

This is a great gym that trains both hard and smart. I have dropped in when traveling to Asheville and away from my home gym, and they have been welcoming. Hope to return next time I am in town!

Stopped by Gracie Barra during a trip and was graciously welcomed by the entire team. Loved the structure of the class and the instruction. Everyone I trained with had a high level of skill which translated to some tough and cerebral rolls. Highly recommend signing up or stopping by if youre passing through town!

Highly recommend Gracie Barra Asheville! Professor Josh is an excellent instructor and the gym has a great atmosphere. I recently came back to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu after a 10 year lay off and have been very pleased and impressed with the school. Everyone is welcoming and the classes are great for learning and training.

An excellent place to train, learn discipline, self defense, stamina, and truly find a place of brotherhood. Josh and Jessie are like family, this gym truly offers more than simple instruction. Above and beyond skill level that easily works with all skill levels from no experience to life long Mixed martial artists.

These guys are awesome! Came in from out of town and they showed me and my dad some great hospitality. Will definitely be back next time I’m in town!

I love this place!! I visit every time I’m in Asheville. Instructor Josh is amazing and Jessie is the sweetest person ever! They are both passionate and professional! I promise you will have a great experience here!!

Gracie Barra Asheville is a outstanding martial arts school. The professor is a excellent teacher and very patient. He is a multiple year black belt in Brazilian Jiu jitsu and has many years instructing both kids and adults.My son has been going here for years and will continue to do so. His kids class is well supervised and structured. It promotes leadership, self confidence and self discipline.

Stopped by when I was on the road. These guys were super welcoming and have high quality of training. Learned some leglocks! If youre in the area, come check this place out

The facility is always clean and Professor Josh acts with the utmost professionalism. The gym has a family-like feel and everyone will open you with open arms!

Trained here for a month while traveling, couldnt say enough good things. everyone here rules including the teachers thank you for everything!

JTs are dedicated to the success of their students. Professional, Caring and Fun!

Great gym. Professor Josh keeps the gym nice and clean. Just visiting from out of town but would recommend.

I really enjoy being a member of this gym. Professor Josh is an excellent instructor and the training partners are all very friendly and helpful. You never know what to expect when entering a martial arts gym but I can attest that you will feel welcome no matter your age or skill level.

Professional, focused, and fun atmosphere that fosters growth athletically, mentally, and interpersonally. Josh makes a tough sport comprehendible and creates an environment that promotes group instruction without leaving behind the individual. Great school.

This school is absolutely amazing! Its motivating, empowering and welcoming. As a beginner I was very worried about fitting in and learning something new, especially when I wasnt a very active person, but this class has built up my self-confidence tremendously in just the few weeks I have been attending... its addictive! Everyone is very friendly and respectful and Professor Josh is a wonderful teacher who truly cares about his students and their progress. Definitely a wonderful experience that I want to continue! Clean facility, great staff and convenient location!

Very clean, organized and started on time. For someone who has been training a long time, I was also able to meet challenging training partners. I was greeted right after walking in and was welcomed to train. Very refreshing!

Grate place I would recommend it I have be going there for almost 9 months and it is such a Clean place amazing people I would recommend this for a lot of people you can learn a lots stuff I would rated it 10/10

I showed up as a complete beginner and had a blast. Felt welcome and safe. Learned some new techniques and was able to be engaged and hands on. Highly recommend.

This is a great place to train that keeps your safety as a priority. Josh is a great teacher that is very patient and the classmates are very friendly.

Prof. Josh is a class act. An excellent instructor who clearly has a strong passion for jiu jitsu. He is able to easily communicate the curriculum to both children and adults.Large clean mat space and facilities. Staff is friendly and informative. This a great space to learn the grappling arts.

Professor Josh was very welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful. I was nervous about trying a Jiu-Jitsu class, but everyone at the gym made me feel comfortable. Highly recommend this gym for those interested in trying the sport!

I have been training here for approximately 6 months. Walking in off the street was intimidating, but as soon as I met with Professor Josh and my class mates, I couldn’t wait for my next class. It was hard work, fun, and the perfect combination of both mental and physical stimulation. Professor Josh is patient and knows just how hard to push you! Love this gym and consider my class mates friends now! Oss!

I stopped in for a 7pm class with my wife while we were on vacation. Great facility and people! We started with a warmup and stretch, did drills, went live for about 4 rounds, then, a cool down/stretch. I was particularly impressed with the way Josh invested time giving us quality instruction even though we are one-time visitors. He seems like a phenomenal instructor, also very personable. The training partners were friendly and skilled. No one was trying to hurt us or prove anything. I stuck around to roll live for the following class and enjoyed learning from the training partners. If you live in this area, you can feel confident this is a great BJJ academy. BJJ has been fun for me, and very helpful for my kids who participate. Check it out!

Josh is excellent. Quality instruction in a safe, fun, and clean environment. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking about trying Jiu-Jitsu.

Josh is an excellent Jiujitsu practitioner. He is welcoming when I come in from out of town and his students are very capible in nogi grappling, which isnt always the norm. Both times I have dropped in I felt that I had left learning something new. I highly suggest stopping by if your an out of towner or new to jiu jitsu.

Respectful inclusive and communicative

I’ve been training here for years, I love the camaraderie of team members. Professor Trampas has an amazing coaching style and is dedicated to student success. The gym is clean and spacious. Training at Gracie Barra Asheville is one of the best decisions I’ve made.
