I've trained in multiple schools in London but recently moved ot Harrogate. Harrogate GB is easily the best BJJ school... I've been to. From day one Lewis and the team have been not just welcoming, professional and great teachers, but really on top of their game from the sport and business perspective.
The gym is immaculate and the team are always looking to go the extra mile to make people welcome, comfortable, safe and enjoy learning BJJ. Instructors really take the time to get around everyone in every class to give tips and adjustments to techniques so everyone is able to improve (unfortunately this doesn't happen everywhere).
The range of classes is excellent. Safety is always thought about so that even as an older practitioner I feel comfortable rolling with anyone. There's a really great atmosphere that is both fun but takes the learning seriously.
And in terms of teaching you really get a sense that classes are properly planned. Thought is given to the different levels of students os there are always alternative variations ot techniques to fit everyone. Techniques are really broken down to manageable chunks.
When Gracie Barra has a motto of Jiu-Jitsu for everyone GB Harrogate really exemplifies this and puts it into practice every single lesson.read more

Kids class review
Having seen a number of martial arts centres in Harrogate this is without doubt the best one for... children that I have seen. All the coaches are a huge asset to the organisation their enthusiasm, knowledge and professionalism are second to none, they are able to break down what are sometimes relatively complex techniques in a safe, clear and concise fashion which the children pick up quickly.
I can't recommend BJJ enough as a martial art in itself for kids, it gives children more confidence to look after themselves as well as teaching them respect at multiple levels. There are significant real world benefits for children, girls and boys alike as BJJ can be applied in real-world cases i.e. the playground rather than flowery techniques that fall apart under close pressure.
One of the main differences between GBHarrogate and other martial art schools is that it doesn't try to push individuals to go for a belt after only a few weeks of learning only to then to charge you excessive amounts for the privilege, they are only put forward for tests when they are genuinely ready which makes the achievement of achieving a belt far more valuable to children.
GBHarrogate has positively impacted my children's lives in many ways and they thoroughly enjoy being part of the friendly community that is GBHarrogate.
Keep up the great work guys

For kids BJJ classes, there's no need to look anywhere but GB Harrogate. As a parent, I was looking for a safe and fun... environment for my daughter and GB Harrogate has exceeded all my expectations. Firstly, the instruction itself is top-notch and is presented by experienced instructors who "practice what they preach" by frequently competing in BJJ competitions. Secondly, and equally important, is the time, attention, and patience the instructors show the kids. From my daughter's first day (nearly one year ago), the instructors have been incredibly welcoming and have shown an outstanding ability to work with kids. So while I'm incredibly pleased with what she is learning, I'm more pleased with the fact that she looks forward to coming to class multiple times a week. BJJ is a marathon and GB Harrogate is doing its part to ensure she remains engaged and interested for many years to come.read more

Started training at GB Harrogate back end of last year and can honestly say it is a great place to train. High quality... coaching given by the black belts and they are always friendly and approachable. Everyone is there to learn and improve, there are no egos and the other guys who train there are always happy to help or advise.
Sometimes due to work commitments I cant train as much as I'd like too, but when I can it's always a breath of fresh air. Can't recommend it enough!read more

It's a great place to train and learn from black belt professors with years of experience and knowledge. The gym also... has amazing training partners that will help you develop and that will keep it fun as you do. Jiu Jitsu is a great martial art to learn and I would recommend the gym to anyone who is wanting to give it a go.read more

When it comes to training, Gracie Barra Harrogate is the place to be. There can be up to 4 black belts on the mat at a... time who are all eager to spar with everyone and help them improve. They bring different style but the same great philosophy of teaching the great sport/art.
The team are a friendly bunch, they keep the atmosphere fun and enjoyable. They are great partners sure to help your game improve.
Can’t recommend this place enough if your eager to try out something new and at the same time get healthy.read more

As a complete newcomer to martial arts I thought I would give this a try and was not disappointed in the slightest!... Coaches are great and really make you feel welcome and have plenty of time to help you out. Feel like I've progressed a lot since first starting and that is down to the amazing coaches and also the great bunch of people that train there too forever offering advice. I'd encourage everyone to come and give it a go guarantee you won't regret it!read more
