HOW DO I START?

Start today! - The first step is booking your free trial and that couldn’t be easier with Gracie Barra Bath Academies.

You get a free trial week and most people choose to take 2 x GB1 Sessions which are beginner sessions.

When you click book now, you will be able to book a selection of dates and times for GB1 sessions.

Book your session and a member of our team will be notified, as well as the instructor at your session.

We will loan you a Gi for the session, please arrive 10 minutes prior to the session starting.

I started my BJJ journey here at Gracie Barra Bath about six months ago and am completely hooked. A big part of this is the expertise and teaching styles of Salvatore and the team, which is absolutely world-class. But equally as important is the sense of community they have fostered - there is no ego, everyone is kind and supportive, and it’s easy to make new friends almost every week. If you’re new to BJJ, I would wholly recommend coming to a taster session and finding out how enriching it can be to your life.
