Jiu-Jitsu Fundamentals

My son has been training at Gracie Barra Blacktown and we absolutely love it! The professors and coaches are incredibly supportive and have created such a positive environment. It's made a real difference in my son's confidence and discipline. Highly recommend to any family looking for a great martial arts community!

Amazing gym!! The sense of community here is amazing!! Everyone is so supportive and encouraging, which makes it a great environment to learn and grow. As a woman that wears a head covering (hijab) , I especially appreciate the women’s only classes with Prof Sheryll and Coach Maiah, who create such an empowering and comfortable space. Highly recommend this gym to anyone interested in BJJ, regardless of their background or experience!

We have been coming to Gracie Barra Blacktown for almost 3 years now and absolutely love it! My son has grown in confidence and enjoys coming. It’s a community that feels like family. The professors really care about each child and take the time to check in to see how your child is going. They have provided my son with not only jui jutsu lessons but also life lessons and encouragement to push harder. Love this place and can’t recommend it enough.

I attend the women’s only classes at Gracie Barra Blacktown and have learnt so much, I have developed a different kind of mental strength and discipline. The professors are all so kind, welcoming and create a safe space for everyone. Professor Sheryll and Coach Maiah always are so supportive throughout the women’s classes. As a woman constantly looking to grow, choosing to do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was one of the best choices I’ve made. I have been able to meet so many likeminded people and feel very lucky to be a part of this community. I recommend their classes for women looking to build confidence and discipline.

Gracie Barra Blacktown is a family run business. I was welcomed with open arms when joining the Womens Only class. I felt comfortable and well supported during my first class. An instructor stayed by my side to ensure i understood what was happening. The staff genuinely care about your development and wellbeing. Staff motivate and encourage you to show up and try your best. I highly recommend Gracie Barra Blacktown 10/10!

We absolutely love Gracie Barra Blacktown! My 4 year old looks forward to every single class and has so much fun while learning. The coaches are amazing with the kids, patient, and really know how to bring out the best in them. The community here is so welcoming, supportive, and family oriented, it really feels like being part of one big family. It’s such a positive environment and the perfect place for our boy to use up his energy in a healthy, structured, and rewarding way. We’ve seen his confidence grow so much since starting. We couldn’t recommend Gracie Barra Blacktown enough for any families looking to get their kids into jiu-jitsu!

If you are looking for an extra curricular for your child I HIGHLY recommend giving them a try! They have been extremely helpful, welcoming and overall so far it has not been a disappointment like a lot of other sports! From the first time we stepped in my son was welcomed and supported! My son has struggled finding something he enjoys and where the kids are friendly and kind! My son struggled to get himself sorted in everyday life and wanted me to do everything for him! after only a few short weeks he will get his clothes ready and take that responsibility on HIMSELF! He will make sure he has everything sorted for the next day (i.e making sure he has everything packed for school the day before) The small things that have been taught to him ALREADY I am so thankful for! I have since learnt that it is NOT just “on the mats” that students are learning, just as much off the mats. In short I would HIGHLY recommend giving them a go and see what they can do for your children!

Fantastic inclusive gym! My kids have grown in skill and confidence thanks to the knowledgeable coaches. Highly recommend GB Blacktown for both kids and adults looking to learn jiu-jitsu.

I would like to thank Professor David for his clear, comforting, and family-like conversation during my very first call to Gracie Barra Blacktown. That call alone made me choose this centre over others in the area. Our journey began when my elder son, who is now in Year 3, was being bullied back in early days in school. I felt that learning martial arts would help him gain confidence and learn how to stand up for himself in a positive way. After reaching out to several martial arts schools, I ended up enrolling him at Gracie Barra Blacktown City and I’m so glad I did. Since joining, my son has become more confident, more open, and genuinely enjoys being part of this warm, supportive community. Huge thanks to Professor David and his amazing family team who go above and beyond to create a family-friendly and community-focused environment. A special shout out to Professor ICY as well — your dedication and the way you push the students to be their best is amazing. The collaboration between the team truly makes this campus stand out. Best wishes to the entire Gracie Barra Blacktown family. We’re excited for our younger one to start his Jujutsu journey soon too!

GB Blacktown is perfect for all ages! My daughter loved it, so my son and I joined too. Two years later, we’re still training. Great culture, supportive coaches—only regret is not starting sooner!

Beautiful facilities, first class instructors. If you're wanting to learn jiu jitsu, competitor or regular hobbyist. This is the gym for you. Perfect for families. Great vibe. They have built a great community.

The best place of business, for mental and physical growth. This place is welcoming with open arms, the community is unstoppable with the way they build the youth up from generation to generation. I 100percent recommend this place, it will change your life forever.

Gracie Barra Blacktown City is truely more than just a gym , it’s a space where strangers become family . From day one you feel welcomed and supported, with an amazing atmosphere that makes training fun and addictive. The professors are next level: knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in everyone’s growth on and off the mats. Every class is high energy, well run, and packed with good vibes. People train hard, look out for each other all while keeping the atmosphere positive and respectful and fun. You don’t just build skills here, you build confidence, friendships, and a strong sense of team. If you’re looking for quality jiu jitsu, great people, and an environment that feels like home, I can’t recommend this place enough.
