very good training.

Gracie Barra Rancho Santa Margarita has a great group of instructors, and the atmosphere is top notch. I highly recommend this place.

I wish they had more stars to give, 5 stars is not enough. My whole family has been going to GB RSM for about two years. The professors are amazing with the kids, they are stern but caring and are consistent with instilling discipline and camaradery. This is one of those places where you feel like family. Even as an adult you will find a second family here. Not to mention that Jiu Jitsu is t... More

I wish they had more stars to give, 5 stars is not enough. My whole family has been going to GB RSM for about two years. The professors are amazing with the kids, they are stern but caring and are consistent with instilling discipline and camaradery. This is one of those places where you feel like family. Even as an adult you will find a second family here. Not to mention that Jiu Jitsu is the best thing you can do for your children, within a few months their confidence level skyrockets, their physical ability and coordination improves and I feel sorry for anyone who tries to bully them. Cannot recommend GB RSM enough. From time to time they have free two-week offers and I believe they are offering that right now in November. Less

Will always be a loyal customer!

Excellent location, very professional staff.

Yesterday was our first day and was a trial class for my 3 younger children. The Professor helped my 3 year old get comfortable and obey quickly to instructions and all three said they loved it and wanted to continue. It was a quick streamlined easy process to sign up. And the group was welcoming and not intimidating at all, as my 9 year old was worried about that. Great first experience!

I've been coming here regularly for the past year and it's been a great experience, it's a fun environment and all the professors are very knowledgeable and demonstrate the techniques very well.

Coach Gabriel and the team at GBR Rancho SM are fantastic. My young son loves the lessons and fun games at each class. We just renewed his membership and look forward to coming each week.

The kids have been going here for nearly two years. They have learned respect and self-discipline while gaining valuable skills and getting physically fit. The staff brings the same positive energy and focus to every class. Even the other kids in the class are well-trained and helpful whenever there’s someone new. It’s a great community and we’re very fortunate to have them in our neighborhood.

Awesome school with great Instructors & a positive family type atmosphere.

The staff here are top-notch! Professor Gabriel is so good with the kids and always has a little life lesson to weave in with training. The new Saturday morning parent/child class is a great workout and bonding time with my son.

I’ve been training at this school over 3 years now and I really enjoy it. They have classes for the entire family, kids, teens adults, and paren & child. They also have a women’s only program taught by a female instructor. In addition to jiu-jitsu classes, they offer conditioning classes and a competition class.

I also recommend taking private or semi private lessons with their experienced professors to improve your skills. Since I started training here, I have gotten in great shape and have made a lot of friends. This is not just a school, it’s a tight knit family and community. Less

Fantastic training environment. Everyone seemed to be on the same team and ready to help the new person (me and other new people who came after me). Highly recommended.

Awesome instructors!

I’ve been practicing BJJ at Gracie Barra RSM for the past six months, and it seems fitting to drop a review after getting to know the place thoroughly. As a 42-year-old man with a few injuries (lower back herniated disk and tendinitis on both knees ) + out of shape, I had reservations and concerns to start.

I’ve been practicing BJJ at Gracie Barra RSM for the past six months, and it seems fitting to drop a review after getting to know the place thoroughly. As a 42-year-old man with a few injuries (lower back herniated disk and tendinitis on both knees ) + out of shape, I had reservations and concerns to start. From the very first day I was welcomed to the mat by the professors and practitioners with a smile and great vibes overall. They were made aware of my physical limitations and concerns and made an effort to ensure I would do the best I could without exposing myself to injury. Now, six months later, I’ve lost almost 20 pounds, and achieved enough confidence to practice at full strength and speed. Our main professors are Kayron, Rafael, Gabriel and Gustavo, and they are not only accomplished professionals, but also great people to chat with and learn from. The students have a great sense of respect and unity, as we are constantly reminded that we need each other to practice and grow in this martial art. I am really happy with the decision to join Gracie Barra RSM, and highly recommend this school for anyone curious about the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Less

Fantastic Staff

We’ve had our 5 and 7 year old kids here since Feb 2021. The staff is very attentive. There is typically up to 4 black belt professors per session, so there is plenty of supervision for the kids. Excellent instructions and deep pride in the name GB. Definitely recommend.

There is nothing better than a supportive and inclusive community, GB RSM provides that for both kids and adults. The instructors are world class in jiu jitsu and at the same time down to earth. They are friendly and are able to communicate details in a very digestible manner.

Jiu Jitsu is something that becomes a big part of your life and spending that time with amazing people makes every second enjoyable! Less

Amazing place to train, whether you’re looking to train a couple times per week to get in shape or daily to prepare for competition. The professors are very high level and they’re great with both the kids and adults alike; They have a knack for helping people of all skill level.

The instructors are incredibly patient and knowledgeable. They teach the kids in a way that they can retain the info. They emphasize listening and respect. I would highly recommend this place!

Fantastic place to learn and train BJJ. Professors are very professional and have a knack for teaching children and adults alike. Very much a family environment.

One of the best Gracie gym out there. A lot of great professors and plenty of room for all the students to learn. The professors truly care about their students. My son loves it here and has made a lot of new friends. There's a lot of kids for my son to train with, which is great. It's definitely one big family at this location. I highly recommend it.

Great people, great training. Always super helpful and knowledgeable. Usually have at least 3 black belts to roll with which makes for accelerated learning:)

Great academy! Kyron, Chico, Rafael and all the other instructors are amazing, so professional and care about all of their students. Couldn’t be happier with the environment!

Amazing training and environment. Great instruction for all ages. The class schedule is very accomodating and level of instruction is unparalled. I cannot think of a better environment, team or culture to be a part of.

Kayron Gracie runs this school -- one of the best jiu-jitsu practitioners in the world. And the gym is impeccably clean, the fellow students are respectful/polite, and the training/workout is just the right level of intensity. 5 stars all day, every day.

The instructors at GB not only teach my 6 year old son BJJ, they also have taught him respect for himself and others. I would definitely recommend this facility to any adult or anyone with children, it's a place for everyone.

It's not everyday that you get to learn from a World Champion. Kayron Gracie is a very technical instructor with a wealth of knowledge. Also, the new location is awesome and huge. Great school!!

Whether you're 8 or 58, this is a great place to train. My son and I both train here and we really enjoy it. It's a good physical and mental workout which is why I like this far better than going to a gym. The instructors and students are all very kind, and patient. I encourage kids, mom's, and dad's to give it a try, it's a lot of fun!
