Gracie Barra West Ryde

I had an excellent experience at Gracie Barra West Ryde, where I trained under the guidance of Instructor Julio. The focus on learning the close guard was both educational and practical. Julio's teaching style was top-notch, The atmosphere at the academy was welcoming and supportive, making it a great place to learn and grow in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I highly recommend Gracie Barra West Ryde, and I look forward to coming there when I'm away from my local Gracie Barra.

FYI - Julio might be the highest belt instructor I have had a chance to train with.

I have been training here for almost 6 years. A real testament of devotion from a renowned BJJ professor and his dedication to his students. I have seen an inflow of students from different BJJ academies join our gym over the years, there migration is a testament of the culture of the gym.

Amazing martial arts academy. Professor Julio really cares about his students and creates a welcoming environment for all. Highly recommend.

This gym is not about the numbers, it’s about genuinely teaching each student to understand the art of BJJ and to feel good about it!

It’s like my second home. Loved everyone here, very friendly and they always make you feel that you belong.

Jiu-jitsu for me is everything. It keeps you fit, improves your confidence, stimulates your mind, a great way to channel stress and anxiety and all the bullsh#t in this world. It truly is for EVERYONE.

Cheers and see you on the mat!

I've had the privilege of training here for the last 4 and a half years and the experience has been amazing. I just wanted to get fit and learn a new skill, but this school has given me so much more. As an older guy I was overweight and unfit so I was hesitant to start this journey. However i just kept showing up and getting better and fitter every day. Now I feel better than I did in my 30s. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a very challenging and humbling sport, and it's had a great positive effect on my life and mindset. Professor Julio is an accomplished competitor, a fantastic instructor and an inspiring presence in the gym. He looks after and cares for all his students and runs a very professional gym. It's a very clean and friendly atmosphere and all my training partners are wonderful people. I couldn't rate Gracie Barra West Ryde any higher. If you are looking to train BJJ in the area you couldn't pick a better place to learn and train.

Always welcoming for parents and children, feel like one family!

Quality program for trainning and having fun time for kids.

Strongly recommend this centre!

An amazing school with incredible Instructors! Congratulations to the entire GB West Ryde team on your dedication, professionalism and commitment to excellence!

Awesome place to learn Jiu-Jitsu. People here are friendly, everyone is helpful and Professor Julio is very thorough and clear when demonstrating techniques. Great for all levels!
I will be definitely back to visit soon.

Great place to learn BJJ with expert instruction and a friendly atmosphere. We're very lucky to have Prof. Julio Guerra teach in our area.

Fantastic place to learn martial arts.

Prof Julio is the perfect instructor. Patient, knowledgeable, polite.but deadly!

All the staff at Gracie Barra West Ryde are excellent to deal with. Very understanding and are willing to help you whenever they can.

All the students are very warm and welcoming and are all great training partners.

I would recommend GBWR to everyone and anyone.

Terrific establishment!

OSS!

Great coach that is dedicated to continuously help and empower the students to be the best version of themselves.

West Ryde's a great place to train, you'll learn legit techniques because it's not a McDojo and the mats are always clean.
There's a good demographic of people to train with from beast athletes and senior citizens, to young parents and regular 9-to-5ers just trying to stay in shape. If you want to be a competitor the coaches can help you get there. If you just want to have fun and learn at your own pace you'll easily fit in too because Jiu Jitsu is for everyone. Come train

Amazing gym - supportive and welcoming atmosphere, wonderful teammates and top-notch teachers! Professor Julio is passionate about what he does and is an excellent teacher. When learning new techniques, he explains it in such a way that allows you to see all the possibilities of the technique and think about the bigger picture. He is patient, encouraging, and challenges you to be better. What I love about GB West Ryde is that regardless of belt, people are invested in the other's success, whether it be taking the time to give helpful advice or offering words of encouragement. And as a team it makes everyone better. Thanks, Professor Julio!

Professor Julio is one of the most outstanding teachers I have ever had the pleasure of training under. Gracie Barra brings a very family friendly atmosphere to the community at large. Julio certainly is a diamond in the business community. His passion and joy for jujitsu is outstanding and magnetic. I would most certainly encourage any person to enjoy the classes and become part of the Gracie Barra team.thank you professor Julio and Gracie Barra. Oss Lincoln.

I had always struggled to find the motivation to exercise. But, when I started at Gracie Barra West Ryde, I finally started looking forward to training. Professor Julio and the team are fantastic teachers who have created a welcoming and respectful community here.

If you want to get fit, gain confidence, and learn to defend yourself. This is the place for you. You’ll want to keep coming back.

Tried a few gyms before finding GBWR and I found it the be the best one and signed up straight away. The instructors and other members are great to train with and are more than willing to help you improve your jiu jitsu. I have been consistently going for over a year and absolutely love it. Highly recommend.

Awesome BJJ gym, best in Sydney, great classes awesome technique awesome coaching, best part is you feel like a family and it becomes you're second home.everyone should give this BJJ gym a try you will definitely have a good time and you'll want to come back for more

Gracie Barra, West Ryde is an amazing gym. Professor Julio works hard with all of the classes to ensure that everyone is learning at their pace whether they are the try hard competitive type or more laid back. There’s a wide range of students from white to black belts and although there’s competition everyone helps people with good advice and it feels like a big family. I’ve been going for 5 months now and two of my kids attend too. As soon as my youngest is old enough they will get their own gee too.

The sport is ideal for discipline and avoids any unwanted head trauma and I couldn’t be happier with our gym.

So lucky to have such a good gym near by. Professor Julio is awesome and everyone training here makes Sydney feel like home. Can't imagine training anywhere else.
