I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional experience I had with Alex at Gracie Barra Saddle Rock. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to help me get my son into their program. What stood out most was their unwavering empathy and integrity throughout the process. He truly listened to our needs and concerns, making us feel valued and understood every step of the way. He didn’t just treat us like another application, he genuinely cared about my son’s well-being and success. His professionalism, kindness, and dedication exceeded all expectations. If you’re looking for an organization that puts people first and operates with heart and honesty, I wholeheartedly recommend Gracie Barra. They’ve made a lasting positive impact on my family, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Less
We had a wonderful first day experience They were organised and very welcoming Our daughter immediately wanted to join Great sport for everyone
Great place for young adults! My son is super shy, but Alex and the team made him feel comfortable while learning a new sport. Highly recommend checking them out.
From start to end, amazing communication and support. Alex kept in contact with us throughout our journey. We were greeting warmly, with trial class and gi set up for our kiddo. A thorough overview of practices and philosophy of Gracie Barra. Gym is super clean, organized. Pricing was extremely fair. We are excited to become part of the family!
Alex was extremely helpful he gave step by step details about jiu jitsu definitely would recommend.
100% recommended to everyone. Great Jiu-Jitsu place ever
From the first call about a trial class, Alex was very kind, welcoming and informative. He rea hed out prior to the trial class to be sure we were prepared. He was also there when my son tried his first class. He fit him into his Gi and made him feel comfortable and accepted by the other students.

Great coaches, friendly and patient. Kiddo always leaves excited for next time. Looking forward to watching the progress.
Just signed my 11 year old up and so excited for this journey!!
Very nice gym. Just started. Looking forward to giving it a try.
Great place!
I've been the main instructor at Saddle Rock for over a year now and I can say that it's been a wonderful experience. The students and staff are sensational! Saddle Rock has become my second home in Colorado and I feel very blessed. If you would like to try a Jiu-Jitsu class (adults or children from 3 years old) it would be a pleasure to welcome your family to our school!
This is a great community to learn from. The instructors are knowledgeable and skilled. The other students are there to learn, but also to help you learn. The mats are really clean. What more could you ask for in a martial arts gym?
I have 2 girls enrolled here, one is 7 and the other is 12. We have been here for over a year now and they both love it. Professor Juninho and Coach Alex are amazing. My girls have learned and grown in really positive ways since starting BJJ. I am truly grateful to the team here.
We are so happy our son is part of Gracie Barra Jiu Jitsu at Saddle Rock. He really enjoys his sessions and has learned so much in just a few months.
I’ve been training here for a few months. Love it. Juninho is an amazing coach with an amazing attitude and lots of knowledge. 10/10 recommend this school.
We have had a really positive experience with our daughter joining Jiu-Jitsu here. The culture is welcoming yet focused and it feels like a good place to be. We’re glad we gave it a try.
We have had the greatest experience here! Alex is always so helpful! We appreciate how nice and inviting everyone is! We have all learned so much from the professor! Would definitely recommend coming here!
Great place to learn discipline and self-defense, build character in kids, and help with fitness and stress management for adults. Professional and helpful staff, a clean facility, and a great supportive culture.
My son loves the classes!!! He found new friends and can control his emotions better!

Our daughter has been here for a year and she has had a great experience with wonderful instructors. I would highly recommend.
This is the best gym in the area
Great experience! This is the best Jiu-Jitsu academy in Colorado hands down. My son has been training here for over a year now and I cannot thank them enough for all benefits he gets at Gracie Bara Saddle Rock. Professor Juninho and Coach Alex are great with kids and very professional.
Great place to learn discipline and self-defense, build character in kids, and help with fitness and stress management for adults. Professional and helpful staff, a clean facility, and a great supportive culture.
The staff is amazing! Super friendly and very technical. They do a great job for any age group, understanding their audience and the parents (of the children). Highly recommend showing up for a class, you’ll the environment and the want to come back!
Only day 2 for my son. He is on the autism spectrum and has ADHD. He absolutely loves it. Both times he has come home saying his body “feels better and has more clarity”. My son is coming home with confidence and is excited to go back. I truly believe this will be good for him
I visited Gracie Barra Saddle Rock in hopes of expanding on my Pre-K child's martial arts training.

I visited Gracie Barra Saddle Rock in hopes of expanding on my Pre-K child's martial arts training. Observable Pros: 1) Due to the popularity of MMA, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu classes will be popular especially in the near term. 2) The owner has a lot of ownership pride and always looking to improve his business/curriculum. 3) The training facility is impressive. 4) Instructors are knowledgeable in their tradecraft. Observable Cons: 1) Classes are too big. 2) Poor teacher to student ratio. 3) Kids had very little mat time. 4) Student engagement could be better. I would recommend this facility for older kids (at least elementary), teens, and adults. Less
great teachers,family atmosphere!
Our 3 year old wont stop talking about "my jitsu". The staff are amazing. They have so much patience when they are teaching the younger kids. My wife is also signing up. Absolutely worth it. Update: After a few months, we have come to realise Duda is the only reason this gym is still going. He absolutely cares for his students.

Amazing instructors who are very professional, caring, and attentive with all their students. As well as consistently instilling discipline in every class.
Wonderful training environment for the entire family!
Great experience.
Nice place ,great teachers and good people
Been training for 3 months at Gracie Barra Saddle Rock and absolutely love it! My 4 year old started before me ..great Bjj community and coaching ! You honestly couldn’t ask for more!
My girls love going to Jiu-Jitsu. The coaches have taken the time to get to know my girls. I have seen tons of growth and improvement since they began. They can’t wait for their next belt! I recommend Gracie Barra to those who are looking for a martial art.
Our five year old and eight year old have both trained here for the past five months. The physical fitness is great for getting their energy out. The bigger benefits are character building and the sense of community. Their confidence and self image have improved in this short time, which is great prevention for bullying!

Our five year old and eight year old have both trained here for the past five months. The physical fitness is great for getting their energy out. The bigger benefits are character building and the sense of community. Their confidence and self image have improved in this short time, which is great prevention for bullying! I’m always surprised how quickly my kids listen and how tall they stand in class. Professor Bruno and Coach Matt are excellent teachers, very patient, and encourage self discipline. I highly recommend Gracie Barra Saddle Rock! Less
My whole family (5 of us) have been training here for 3 months now. It’s been a fantastic experience. The community is just without parallel.

My entire family, 5 of us, go to Gracie Barra Saddle Rock and we love it. The coaches and professors are superb, the curriculum is well defined and easy to learn, the community is fantastic. We're new to Jiu Jitsu and this school has been nothing short of a blessing to our family.
Family friendly and GREAT for all ages. Training Gracie Barra has changed my life and that of all 3 of my girls!
A wonderful place to learn BJJ, our whole family is involved and we love the atmosphere and support we get from all the other students and staff. Would recommend to anyone looking to start or continue their practice!
My girls love Jiu-Jitsu. I am impressed with the coaches for their patience and their ability to inspire the students. I have seen so much growth in the time we have been there.
Great coaches, lots of classes, and great for beginners. Would highly recommend to anyone.
The best Jiu-Jitsu school in the area by far!! Treat you like family and welcome all with open arms. Gracie Barra saddle Rock is now being featured as the only recommended Jiu-Jitsu school at 24 Hour Fitness Parker x Arapahoe. I highly recommend checking them out!
Very welcoming and family based training with outstanding staff and instruction. Great for the whole family.
I enrolled my boys about four days ago, but so far the kids LOVE it and I’m positive that they’ll get better and better as time comes... But I would definitely recommend Gracie Barra Saddle Rock Jiu Jitsu
