Amazing place love it here customer for life!
The gym has a family feel to it. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who wants to train or learn jiu-jitsu. Especially women looking for self-defense skills.
I have been a member here for 13 years, awesome instructors & family type atmosphere.
I decided to take lessons to learn self defense, get in shape, relieve stress and try something new. Overall I’m very happy with the training, instruction and safe environment. I’m excited to continue this learning experience!
Awesome place for kids to train. They have a great staff that’s very attentive with the younger children. I highly recommend Gracie Barra to anyone interested in learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
This place changed my life. I came in looking to improve my physical and mental well being. Rafael and the staff over the years have supported me, and have added so much value to my life. If you’re looking to train whether seasoned or new to Jiu Jitsu here is the place to be in the Ontario, chino, chino hills area! Great people on and off the mats!!
Its been a great experience training here, very clean and family, friendly environment. I love how the professors break down the different techniques that people can easily retain. No experience is needed, you will learn alot from the consistency you put into the training. Highly recommend this Academy

You'll definitely find a welcoming community and top-notch training here. Less
Let me summarize it like this. Each teacher remembers EVERY kids name instantly, there’s probably 100+ kids and somehow every coach knows them by a first name basis. I’m using that as my example because that’s how much Incredible attention to detail and incredible passion and love for teaching. Highly suggest this place 100%
I started training at Gracie Barra Chino back in April of 2009. I think I was one of the first 10 students. From day one professor Rafael was a great instructor and mentor. As the years passed he would bring new instructors in from Brazil and ever new instructor had something amazing to share with students.

I can’t explain how compassionate and in touch these staff members are!!! I’ve never in my life had such customer service in my life. They followed up on everything they said they were gonna do and then some. I’m a single dad and wanted my son in the Barra family. I signed up for the 4 mo plan but could not pay the full cost up front, so I split it in two payments but by mistake I got charged all... More
I can’t explain how compassionate and in touch these staff members are!!! I’ve never in my life had such customer service in my life. They followed up on everything they said they were gonna do and then some. I’m a single dad and wanted my son in the Barra family. I signed up for the 4 mo plan but could not pay the full cost up front, so I split it in two payments but by mistake I got charged all at once. Well being a single Dad that was a little problem. They actually reached out to me and Bethany personally cash app’d me the difference!!!! Thank you very much Barra family and all the great people behind the scenes!!!!! Less
I visited this school from GB West Lancaster since my girlfriend trains there and have NOTHING bad to say. They were very welcoming and friendly and love to train. I would highly recommend this academy. 👍🏻
Awesome place for everyone to learn jiu jitsu. Great atmosphere for the kids to learn, interact and make friends. Great welcoming environment. Professors are always encouraging and have a great attitude and patience with the kids.
Very professional, very knowledgeable instructors and staff. The very best. I recommend this dojo to everyone with an interest in juju and some awesome company.
Great for young children learning discipline and defending themselves.

I recommend Gracie Barra Chino to anyone looking to train in martial arts. The Brazilian jiu jitsu taught at this gym is top notch. My family and I have been members of Gracie Barra for five years now, with myself and all three of my kids training at the gym. My two oldest, boys 9 and 8, have become so confident without lacking humility. Much of this can be attributed to Professor Rafael and the awesome crew at GB Chino. Walking in five years ago and signing my kids up was such a blessing. We have made so many great friends at GB Chino, and even though the gym has grown in size, it still feels like a tight nit family environment. Less

I cannot begin to say enough about Professor Rafael and his team of instructors. Everyone is extremely knowledgeable and professional. When you join, you become family and not just another student. I have trained in a variety of different Martial Arts over the years and this place is spectacular. As a law enforcement professional for almost three decades I can attest to the genuine effectiveness of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. To steal a line from Joko Willink - take your kids here and they will never be bullied, but more importantly they will never be bullies.... Less

Gracie Barra Chino is a great place for the whole family to train the art of Brasilin Jiu Jitsu. Professor Rafael and his staff of other Black belts, coaches are extremely knowledgeable in self defense and sport Bjj. I have both my children enrolled in their kids program. My son and daughter have more confidence since they started. They love learning how to defend themselves, while also developing many friendships with all of the other kids in this fantastic program. The Academy is very clean and well managed. If you are looking to learn how to defend yourself or simply do something that can challenge you both physically and mentally in a safe environment you have come to the right place. Less
My home away from home. Professors are great. Family oriented school with great training partners. I definitely recommend
Great place!! Fun place to go to for juijitsu.

Very Talented,Professional instructors, that recognize all you'r hard work. Very clean environment. Doesn't smell like dirty feet or stinky gi's. Lol Would highly recommend training here!

Always a great experience every time I train. Couldn’t find a better professor
This academy is great. Staff here is friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and maintains a very clean facility. Students here are welcoming, helpful, and pushes a great team environment. Everyone really helps each other to get better. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone looking to get into jiu jitsu.
Awesome place to learn bjj, all the staffs and people that train there are great, very friendly and helpful.
I’ve visited approximately 6 other BJJ gyms and this one is the BEST. It’s spacious, CLEAN, and the professors are great. Awesome “family” vibe
Great tracking with a great family environment!
Outstanding people and a great place to improve your body, mind and outlook on life.
I have been training at this school since I moved to California in 2011. Excellent school, great instructors and training partners. Very clean and safe environment.
Great people to train with,clean and plenty of mat space to roll on.
The instructor is very good Bryan Nakagawa Derek Nakagawa. His have certificato from Gracie Barra and USFBJJ.
Like the first day of going to any school, I was worried and intimidated, but when I got there, everyone was so welcoming, it quickly put my worries at ease. Instead of being slaughtered, all the higher belts encouraged and guided me through the techniques. Everyone is so supportive through it all that you don't want to give up.

Instead of being slaughtered, all the higher belts encouraged and guided me through the techniques. Everyone is so supportive through it all that you don't want to give up. One of the few schools where you'll be taught by three awesome black belts (Professor Rafael, Professor Bryan, & Professor Derek). FYI: I WAS NOT PAID OR COMPENSATED TO SAY NICE THINGS ABOUT THEM. QUITE THE OPPOSITE IN PERSON. LOL DON'T WANT TO INFLATE HEADS AND EGOS. HAHAHA Each with their own unique style that will help you develop your own. Jiu Jitsu is a great form of self defense, work out (THINK SUMMER BOD READY), and it's been a great way for me to relieve stress from everyday life. They have become a second family and have met amazing people whom I love as friends. The academy is big and spacious. I'm not going to mention any names, but the perks of having an OCD Professor (You obviously have 3 choices), the academy is immaculate and the mats are always clean. Less

Last night myself and my 25 year old son had a private lesson with Professor Rafael to help us with our tournament fighting techniques. The reason I choose to drive to Chino for this is how impressed I was at Professor Rafael's knowledge of Jui Jitsu after meeting him. We arrived at his gym 15 minuets prior to our lesson where we observed one his classes he was walking around the mat teaching his students while they were rolling. He was very actively engaged and informative. Our private lesson was way above my and my son's expectations. He gave us a strategy to tournament fighting that was new to us and very valuable during our private lesson he had to re-tie his Gi at least 3 times because he was actively rolling with us. If I lived near his gym I would be a member. Needless to say I would recommend him highly without reservation. Less
I have had nothing but an awesome experience training at GB Chino. The facilities are great, the instructors phenomenal, and training partners friendly, challenging and also help me learn a lot. Definitely reccomend.
Good training for everyone from 3 to 99. Jiujitsu is an awesome way to stay in shape and a great activity which requires the mind and body. It is an activity that parents and children can do together and create a special bond of Jiujitsu. Husbands and wives can do it together and it is a way to spend quality time doing an activity that is fun and healthy. Gracie Barra Chino has great facultie... More

Husbands and wives can do it together and it is a way to spend quality time doing an activity that is fun and healthy. Gracie Barra Chino has great faculties, great instructors, and clean mats. Gracie Barra is a great place to begin your Jiujitsu journey. I started doing it 31/2 years ago at Gracie Barra Chino and haven't looked back. Less
Great instructors. Great training partners. Great kids program. What is there not to like?
