About GB Boca Raton

“When we opened Gracie Barra Boca Raton, we wanted a place where every kind of student — a three-year-old in Tiny Champs, a woman who'd never set foot on a mat, an adult athlete preparing to compete — could walk in and find the right class for them. Every class runs the full Gracie Barra curriculum from day one, and everyone trains together in a structured, welcoming environment. Same standards, same structure, every age. That's the school we'd want for our own families.”

— Professor Sergio Costa, Head Instructor

Gracie Barra Boca Raton brings structured Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to South Florida's most demanding market. Kids as young as three train in age-banded classes — Tiny Champs, Little Champs, and Juniors — each designed for where they actually are developmentally. Adults of every experience level — women and men alike — train alongside a welcoming community with morning, midday, and evening options. Led by IBJJF World Championship medalist Prof. Sergio Costa, and backed by 1,000+ GB schools worldwide. First class is always free.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and who is it for?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling-based martial art that uses leverage, positioning, and technique to control or submit an opponent — regardless of size or strength. At Gracie Barra Boca Raton, we train adults, kids as young as 3, and women looking for practical self-defense. No prior experience is needed. The Gracie Barra curriculum is structured so that complete beginners learn alongside experienced practitioners in a safe, controlled environment.
What should I expect at my first class?
Arrive about 10 to 15 minutes early at 1141 S Rogers Circle, Suite 1, Boca Raton. The front desk will get you checked in and answer any questions. Wear comfortable athletic clothing — shorts or sweatpants and a t-shirt. Sergio Costa or one of the coaches will walk you through a warm-up, demonstrate techniques step by step, and pair you with an experienced training partner. There is no pressure to spar on your first day. Your first class is free.
What do I need to wear to train?
For your first visit to Gracie Barra Boca Raton, any clean athletic clothing works — a t-shirt with shorts or sweatpants. If you decide to continue, you will need a Gracie Barra gi (uniform) for gi classes, or a rash guard and grappling shorts for no-gi sessions. The front desk can help you get fitted and order the right size.
How much do classes cost?
Gracie Barra Boca Raton offers several membership options depending on how often you want to train and which programs you join. Your first class is always free — no commitment, no obligation. After that, call us at (561) 931-3921 or stop by the academy to discuss which plan fits your schedule and goals. We are happy to walk you through everything in person.
Where is the academy and is there parking?
Gracie Barra Boca Raton is located at 1141 S Rogers Circle, Suite 1, Boca Raton, FL 33487 — near Off Yamato Rd near I-95. Free parking on-site at S Rogers Circle. We serve families from West Boca, East Boca, Boca West, and Delray Beach, and the surrounding area.
What age groups do you offer classes for?
We have programs for every age. Tiny Champions is for children ages 3 to 5. Little Champions covers ages 6 through 9. Juniors & Teens is for ages 10 to 14. Adult classes start at 16 and up, with no upper age limit. Sergio Costa and the coaching staff at Gracie Barra Boca Raton tailor instruction to each group so everyone trains at the right level. Call (561) 931-3921 to find the right class for you or your child.
Can I use a Step Up For Students scholarship to pay for classes?
Eligible Florida families may be able to use Step Up For Students scholarship funds, including PEP education savings account funds, toward Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes and after-school enrichment at our approved provider locations. Final eligibility, available funds, and authorized purchases are determined by Step Up For Students, EMA, and the current purchasing guidelines. Call us at (561) 931-3921 and we'll help you understand next steps at Gracie Barra Boca Raton.

Beginner's Guide to BJJ in Boca Raton

Starting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as an adult in Boca Raton is simpler than most people expect, and more useful than they typically imagine going in. The first class is not a test of athleticism or prior experience — it is an orientation. You show up, you watch, you try a few movements, and you leave with a clearer picture of what

Kids Jiu-Jitsu in Boca Raton: What Every Parent Should Know

Boca Raton parents evaluating kids martial arts programs quickly discover that not all programs are structured the same way. Some schools run mixed-age classes where a ten-year-old trains alongside a five-year-old. Some teach techniques that look impressive but have no grounding in principles that transfer to real situations. Some offer a belt system that rewards attendance rather than genuine skill

Comparison

BJJ vs Karate for Kids in Boca Raton: Which Is Right for Your Child?

The most common martial arts comparison Boca Raton parents make when evaluating programs for their children is BJJ versus karate. Both are structured, belt-based, and widely available in South Florida. Both teach discipline and respect as part of the curriculum. But the training methodologies, the practical applications, and the outcomes they produce for children are meaningfully different.
