Our Culture & Instructors

World-class Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instruction in Boca Raton, built on the Gracie Barra principles of discipline, structure, and community — for every age and every level.

The GB Boca Raton Story

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 train alongside a welcoming community with morning, midday, and evening options. And Boca is the only Gracie Barra location in our network to offer a dedicated Women's Only BJJ program — a safe, all-women environment with the same full GB curriculum. Led by IBJJF World Championship medalist Prof. Sergio Costa, and backed by 1,000+ GB schools worldwide. First class is always free.
