Gracie Barra Thurrock

Fantastic experience: Great friendly place.

Fantastic experience: Gracie Barra Thurrock has changed our families life, we used to do the odd bit of walking to keep fit but that just wasn’t enough. We wanted our Daughter to learn some self-defence so we took her to Gracie Barra Thurrock. Professor Stuart is amazing with the kids, he teaches in a way that makes it fun and of all the activities our Daughter does, Jiujitsu is her favourite. The atmosphere is so great it made me want to give it a go. I was welcomed into the Gracie Barra family with open arms. Starting a martial art at 43 is not something you take on lightly but it was made so easy because everyone is so friendly and helpful. Professor Simon is amazing, he teaches you with such passion that every lesson is simply awesome. Professor Stuart is always willing to give you the time to show new techniques and talk through how to improve your game. But he goes above and beyond just teaching jiujitsu. If you are thinking of giving Brazilian Jiujitsu a chance, you will not be disappointed with Gracie Barra Thurrock. You will make great friends, learn to defend yourself and get fit. There isn’t any negatives

Fantastic experience: Since day one we’ve been treated like family both my son and myself love trining here

Fantastic experience: Amazing club! Coaches are very experienced and able to support with whatever your BJJ goals (self-defence, competition, etc). Started September 2020 aged 40 (never too late) with my 7 year old son, and it's a great bonding activity. Everyone's really welcoming and happy to help you progress. Been there nearly two years now, trained with some great people, learned loads and had some great experiences. Would thoroughly recommend giving GB Thurrock a go!

Fantastic experience: A great place to start your BJJ journey. My son & I (11 yr old) started over a year ago. My son's self confidence has developed further & Stuart (coach) also came to coach him at a competition he took part in. Approachable & knowledgeable coaches in Stuart & Simon who are ably assisted by other senior pros. A variety of morning & evening classes to choose from for a reasonable price. A great place for your child (& yourself) to develop confidence & get fitter.

Fantastic experience: Best decision I ever made coming to this gym!! The coaches (Stuart and Simon) do an amazing job at top level!!!!! Very friendly and professional environment! And at an instantly you step on the mat you feel welcome by everyone… I recommend 100%!!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing club, highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I've been training here for two years now, it's a great gym with a welcoming atmosphere and a great group of students. It's a fantastic place for beginners and advanced to high level competitors with experienced and inspirational instructors. Why not come and take advantage of a free lesson at Gracie Barra Thurrock, they can help you reach you goals.

Fantastic experience: I was pretty nervous about starting out bjj but after speaking with Stuart on the phone I knew I'd made the right choice of places to train. Once I attended I was made to feel welcome by all. I also like the fact that the training area is not just a hired hall like other clubs but a real training facility which just ads to the value for money of the membership. If you are looking around for somehwhere to train I'd recommend here with the Gracie Barra Thurrock or at the very least having a chat with them beforehand to help make up your mind.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant class, will definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to train with awesome instructors!
