An excellent place to learn and practice Jiu-Jitsu. The coach and his team are excellent, offering a safe place for everyone, including children and women. Kids will learn more than Jiu-Jitsu; they learn tips on living and handling life challenges. I definitely recommend it to anyone serious about learning self-defense.

No place like home. This gym has become a staple for our family and we can't imagine life without Professor Edgar and Professor Kimberly. My girls learn an enormous amount there, and have fun as well. The teaching, instructions and training is top notch. All the students there support each other, train hard, respect one another and grow as individuals and as a team.

I dropped in for a fundamentals class while visiting the area from another state. I was very impressed with the quality of instruction, the training partners and how welcoming everyone was. Professor Edgar and the team will make sure that you are doing the techniques correctly and as effectively as possible. The more intimate setting made it easier to learn compared to the bigger Dojos. I was treated with utmost respect during my visit and encouraged to return. If I was from the area I wouldn't hesitate to train at Gracie Barra Valencia.

Gracie Barra Valencia is amazing! My my 8 yr old son has been training under Professor Edgar now for almost 3 years and I just started training earlier this year. He is a fantastic teacher. Patient, encouraging and funny, but if you or your kid need to learn discipline, he is not afraid of calling you/them out. His positivity and enthusiastic approach makes every class enjoyable. The gym is always clean and well lit, and has sufficient seating for parents who want to watch their kids train. If you’re looking for quality BJJ in the Santa Clarita Valley, this is your spot.
