Gracie Barra Diamond Bar, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Have had my kids enrolled since they were little,…great for teaching discipline and a can do attitude. Plus, I love watching my boys scrap… the coaches are extremely helpful, and help the kids stay focused.

Awesome gym and friendly team.
Coaching is helpful and felt extremely welcome. Come out and try out a class.
Thank you Coach Jaime

Joining the GBDB team was one of the best decisions I’ve made! Coach Jaime, Coach Daniel, and the others are super helpful and constantly pushing you to become better. They carefully explain each move in a manner that any average joe can understand. Its definitely not easy on the body at first, but its become highly addictive and I catch myself thinking about jiu jitsu all the time. Super clean facility, friendly staff and great partners to roll with! I recommend buying yourself a good gi and get committed!

My son recently started attending GBDB and I happened to visit and sit in on one of his classes. I have to say, I was impressed right off the bat with friendliness of the whole staff. They would come up to all of the parents to greet you at your seat with a smile. They are so great with the kids with the perfect balance of keeping them focussed and in check, but not so much where the kids would be in fear. Even the joking around was on point — just enough to keep the kids at ease. The trainers/​coaches definitely know what they are doing and to be able to teach the kids is an added bonus and you can tell they are passionate about this. My wife and I are glad we finally signed him up and it looks like we will be here to stay, eventually would like to sign up my other two boys when we can afford to do so :)

My sister’s bf has been going to GBDB for about 2 years. My sister trained at GBSM and would sometimes train at GBDB and both had asked me if I would be interested in trying Jiu Jitsu out with them. I agreed, but for the longest time I didn’t come. I regret not starting sooner. I absolutely love jiu jitsu and especially GBDB. GBDB is like a big family. The people here are friendly and care about your well being. The coaches are wonderful here because each one teaches and has different moves and styles so you learn different ways to do the same move. You can really tell the professor and coach really enjoys teaching and training jiu jitsu. The energy they bring makes the classes even more fun and entertaining.
This place is great to decompress from a stressful day at work and/​or anything that may be happening in life cause the second you step onto the mat. It’s game time. There’s nothing to worry about for that hour. You just train and get better each time you’re on the mats.

Awesome facility! Awesome staff! My son Alex has been here for almost 2 years and he’s really developed a sense of focus and confidence. Coach Jaime and all the other coaches and professors make us feel like we’re a family. We love it!

Great coaches, positive environment, very clean and organized. My child has a chronic illness and they are all understanding. They never pushed her or made her feel left out. Coach Jaime and Coach Dean are amazing! If your looking for a friendly positive sport for your child, I’d highly recommend you try them. You will not be disappointed!

Joining the Gracie Barra team was the best choice I have ever made. I have made so many friends here it is worth every penny. Learning new techniques and pushing yourself physically on the matts gives you a very rewarding feeling.

Immediately upon entering Gracie Barra Diamond Bar I felt not just apart of a team, but apart of a family. With so many jiu jitsu schools out there now (I’ve trained at a few) it’s hard to find a place that encompasses quality jiu jitsu, with a sense of camaraderie. This place has both, from a fresh beginner to an experienced grappler one will feel at home with Gracie Barra. When I first came in I wanted to try a few schools in the area before choosing. My decision to train here was a no brainier! I look forward to each and every class.

Great coaches, great students, great learning environment for students of all ages and ability levels. My 6 year old daughter takes classes here and absolutely loves it. My 3 year old can’t wait to start when she turns 4. I roll with the adults. My kids would spend all their free time here if we’d let them. The coaches really make this place special. All the students make it fun and a place where you always want to keep coming back to train. It gets addictive and as competitive as you want to make it for the adults looking for a physical, self defense or competitive environment. It’s all family all the time.

Great professor, great coaches, awesome school.
Been alot of places, none can compare. The coaches are extremely inspirational. The learning environment encourages questions and places the student first. I highly encourage anyone who wants to get in shape and learn to defend yourself to check it out.

I wish there was a an option of giving this Jiu Jitsu school a million stars instead of just five.
First off, this school is impeccably clean. I have been to many different jiu jitsu schools to train and this one is the by far the cleanest. The mats are new and in great shape.
Next, the staff. The school is owned by Brown belt Jaime. He is the most down to earth man I have ever met. He opens his school to anyone to come and train. He loves jiu jitsu so much and you can tell just in his mannerisms. He is so enthusiastic about what he does, about his students well being, the curriculum and he very importantly for parents, he (and the rest of the staff) really cares about the children signed up at his school. I have seen a lot of owners just sign people up and not really care about their clients. Money is the last thing on Jaime’s mind. He is on a first name basis with every single student and parent.
The schools professor is black belt Paul. He has a really unique style of jiu jitsu and he has a very patient teaching style as well. His warm up in the beginning of class of course is not easy (it’s jiu jitsu) but you see results quick. Professor Paul pushes you to be the best athlete you can possibly be regardless of sex or age.
The schools coaches are Daniel, Dean, Chris and Orlando. These guys are blue belts who are great with the class and with the kids. They really know their stuff and they are such good coaches. They are also very patient with the students.
I am no longer a member of this school because I had to move across the country for higher education but I wish there was another Gracie Barra Diamond Bar where I live. No other academy can compete with the coaching staff, the cleanness and the overall atmosphere of the school.
A lot of females are so apprehensive about doing such a male dominated sport. I can say that it was the BEST decision of my life. I’m in great physical shape and my health is on point too. GBDB as many people call it now offers an all female class on Fridays at 5pm. If you cannot come to that there is also a good number of women and girls at the academy.
On a last note, I love how every time I go back home for vacation, Gracie Barra DB opens up their school to me and let me train. Even though I am no longer part of the team they still treat me like family. I don’t think there is another place in the world like that.
If you are in the Orange County area or near Diamond Bar come check it out. You will not be sorry.

There are many schools out there, but this one is special. I visited several GB schools to see which I would sign up with and after meeting all the Professors, Coaches, and training partners here I signed up here because the guys here make you feel like a family. The training is tough and they are always pushing you to push yourself mentally and physically. The support system is amazing that everyone knows your name and they all genuinely want to see you improve. Like I said, there are a lot of schools out there, but this one, is special.
P. S. I now have a six pack thanks to the GB DB training.

I’ve been to many GBs because my husband always trains when we travel. But this GB is definitely special. The coaches are amazing!!! There’s a great family feeling every time you walk into the school. The teaching style is top… I definitely plan on introducing my 3 year old when he’s old enough to train. Highly recommend this school.

Awesome class for adults and kids, today was the first class and we are very impressed on how clean and well managed the place is.

Quality people, great school. I saw an outstanding kids class today where their skill was only equaled by their sportsmanship. Both traits speak to the top notch instructors. This school has a sense of camaraderie and friendship, which again is a reflection of Jaime and Paul. Thanks for the hospitality fellas.

At first, I was really apprehensive about enrolling my son in any martial arts class. I was so concerned because he wears glasses and can hardly see when he is not wearing them, thus making it difficult to defend himself during the «sparring» portion of the class. My husband really convinced me that this was the best activity for my son. I reluctantly agreed. I am glad I listened to my husband. :)
My son has been attending the class for about 6 months. I couldn’t be happier. You walk into the studio and are immediately greeted by the coaches. They are warm, kind and always conducting themselves in a respectful manner. They are always modeling good core values and are showing the students that with martial arts comes of level of responsibility and discipline… and they must have both to succeed. They have a level of patience which I as an educator admire. They are able to instill appropriate discipline when needed and always are providing the kids with positive feedback. In my son’s particular class, there are 2 – 3 coaches (Jaime, Paul and Daniel) which allows the students to have the necessary support they need where technique is concerned.
It is quite apparent that the coaches are there because they want to be. They really are passionate about what they do and they believe wholeheartedly in the students and their advancement in Ju JItsu. My son has learned so much in such a short amount of time. He has made great friends and really looks forward to his weekly classes.

Not all martial arts schools are the same.
For parents looking for a solid place for kids to build their physical and mental tenacity, this is the place. The coaches have great rapport with kids and they model values all parents want to instill in their children: resiliency and integrity.

This school is awesome! I come to visit GBDB from south OC and I have nothing but great experiences every single time I train here. Super clean facility, tough training, great training partners, and top notch instruction. I highly recommend this school. Any day of the week!

So this is not the first Jiu Jitsu studio I have visited… but I will never go anywhere else. Most places have a similar set up and pretty much the same type of training. What makes Diamond Bar different is the coaches! Coach Mikey is tough, and coach Jaime is so enthusiastic that you can’t help but get excited about going to train. Come try a class and I bet you will become a student real fast! It’s just what happens!
