I am one month into Jiu jitsu and based off the atmosphere at GB Flagstaff it has caused me to fall in love with the sport. Both professor are extremely passionate and talented. The culture that has been created here is something special, it is the most positive group of athletes I have ever spent time around not to mention the level of coaching you receive in any of the classes is phenomenal. I truly can not express how happy I am that I signed up. All in all, if you’re looking to learn Jiu Jitsu from the best instructors in Flagstaff, all the while making friendships that will last, Gracie Barra Flagstaff is the place for you!

I’ve been coming here for just about a year now. Sure there are many options when it comes to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Flagstaff and I have gone around and checked out other gyms none of them come close to the quality instruction you receive at Gracie Barra Flagstaff. If you are looking for a place to learn how to defend yourself this is where you should look.

My son loves coming here. He has learned some very important self defense moves, and he’s learning self control. We are so grateful for his coaches.

After thinking about joining a jiujitsu gym for a couple months, joining this gym has been a great experience! They’ve been super welcoming and I’ve had such a fun time so far.

As a veteran, JiuJitsu has always interested me. I came to the GB family back in January 2021 and have not regretted it. I have trained in several other states while traveling and been accepted on the GB mat anywhere I go. I have no problem with the uniform dress code for GB as I was in the military. The quality of training and gi is on par with JiuJitsu standards anywhere you go. Sure, sometimes you can find a “good deal,” but most of the time “you get what you pay for!” Oss!

I have been going here for 2 weeks and I’m blown away by how welcoming everyone here is. I was apart of the family from day 1. They go at your pace and do it very safely. No one there is trying to hurt you. The higher belts are super helpful and don’t pick on you for being new.. I’m a slow learner and they have worked with me and Iv come way further then I thought I would in just 2 weeks. As stated above... I’m totally blown away by how great the owners are. They 100% are not in this for the money. They do this because they love it. They were able to work with me on money while I was waiting on my paychecks to come in from work and for me to get money together after moving here. I thought that was the coolest thing. I highly recommend coming and checking this out. You won’t find a better place for self defense.

Great place to train.

I started training at Gracie Barra Flagstaff about 3 years ago. I had had some previous martial arts training before but was very much drawn to the grappling aspect of fighting. I spent a couple of weeks looking around for a school and when I dropped by GB Flagstaff for the first time I knew I had found my new gym. Both of the Max’s are extremely helpful and welcoming. They’re both incredibly down to earth and relatable which is hard to find in a martial arts school nowadays. Gracie Barra Flagstaff is not only a world class gym to learn Jiu Jitsu and have fun doing it, but a place to make friends for life.

The best place to learn Jiu Jitsu! Everyone is super friendly, the instructors are fantastic at teaching the moves, and they are so nice to beginners! A lot of laughs but also a lot of learning. 10/10 would recommend to anyone even the slightest bit interested!! :)

This is a great place to start and continue learning jiu jitsu. They emphasize self defense and mastering basic jiu jitsu moves in the beginner classes and also train for sport jiu jitsu and tournaments in the advanced classes. It is a safe environment to learn in and new team members are made welcome.

I just recently started doing jui-jitsu and I already feel very welcomed and am really enjoying it. The coaches and professor seem happy to help me as a beginner. Would definitely recommend

My son has been going here for a few weeks and he loves it. He is the youngest in the class but they are so patient with him and really take the time to teach him. Would definitely recommend for others with kids

For a guy starting Jiu Jitsu in his late 40s, couldn’t have asked for a better atmosphere. Non threatening, friendly, safe, and welcoming environment. Great instructors that are determined to help you grow not only as a martial artist, but as a person.

Professor Max is a world-class trainer and one of the very best around. An incredible place to learn jiu jitsu easily yet get some real experience...Max thanks for teaching the guys from Cleveland!

I’ve been attending for about three months and it has been a great experience. Both Max Sr and Jr are extremely knowledgeable and will take their time to walk you through the different series.

Really great with kids and they have soooo....much patience.My kid loves it!!

A great school and great people. The instructors are attentive and very professional.

Great culture and facility paired with friendly and experienced instructors makes this the best Jiu Jitsu club in Flagstaff by far.

I signed up 2 weeks ago. I was nervous to go in at first but once I did I found that the higher belts were super nice and went easy on me with the intent to help, thankfully.

Place has changed: seems to be franchise oriented with mandatory GB only attire from last attendance a few years ago. Paying high franchise fee for: instructors have sporadic or irregular attendances with last minute step-in of non-ICP instructions. Poor GB curriculum, unknown promotion potential if any. Probably best to learn online with GB 1 and 2 franchise than to pay overhead for brand and logo.

Great people and instruction. Fun learning with legit competitors and a black belt instructor!

Flagstaff Jiu Jitsu is great!Professor Max is the best and the club is very welcoming. Great place to continue/start training.

Fantastic school, great for the beginner or an expert. Dont forget to try out your free class to see how much you will love it.

Awesome place to train, learn, get in shape, and grow. Come check it out!!

Best club in town

This place has changed my life. Changed the way I think about life. Changed the way I approach life. And has been a conductor for healing in my heart. I would recommend this Jiu Jitsu to all ages, female or male. Thank Professor Max, big and little for your discipline and training and care. I truely appreciate you.
