Gracie Barra Harrogate March Newsletter - Sister School Grand Opening, Super Fights & More!
We’re really excited for what promises to be a big month for Gracie Barra Harrogate!
First up, we’ve got Wilf, Coach Luke and Coach Kieran competing on the latest Victory Invitational No Gi Super Fight card at Fusion Nightclub in Liverpool! Taking place on the 16th of March, this promises to be an incredible event and we’re so excited for the team going down to compete. This takes their competition experience to another level, and we can’t wait to see how you all get on - good luck guys!
We’ve also got the grand opening of our sister school - Gracie Barra Apperley Bridge on the 23rd of March. This promises to be an amazing day with classes for all age groups throughout the day. We welcome all of our members to come down and check out the new facility, and get on the mats for classes throughout the day (and enjoy the cake)!
We’ll be moving classes upstairs for the week commencing the 10th of March. This is so we can install a new ventilation system in the academy to reduce the humidity that builds up during sessions, making for a more comfortable training experience. Simply head up the stairs and turn left for our temporary training space whilst the improvements are being made.
Tickets are now available for our Vanessa English seminar, taking place on the 5th of April - purchase tickets here for her mount attack seminar next month!
See you on the mats

GBF: Wrapped
After a fantastic 8 weeks, the latest GBF programme has wrapped at Gracie Barra Harrogate. A huge well done to everyone who took part, and a massive thank you to Coach Dee and Coach Jack for leading the course. It was fantastic to see everyone build their confidence throughout the course, and the skill level at the end was really impressive to see.
We can’t wait to see you take your Jiu Jitsu to the next level in the GB1 programme and beyond!
Our New Ventilation System: Classes To Move Upstairs Week Commencing 11th March
We’re really excited to be installing a new ventilation system at Gracie Barra Harrogate. We absolutely love the space we’ve created and it’s so important to us to keep the improvements coming. The new ventilation system should go quite some way to reducing the humidity that builds up during some of the tougher sessions.
This does mean that once again, classes will be moving upstairs for the week whilst this is installed. Utilising the space upstairs allows us to keep classes running as normal as possible for the duration of the work.
No Gi on Sunday the 10th and Sunday the 17th of March is cancelled to allow us to remove and relay mats, whilst GB2 No Gi on Tuesday will be replaced by all levels No Gi.
Thank you for your patience whilst we make these improvements - we can’t wait to welcome you back to our new and improved training space!
Super Fights
After a recent no gi super fight for Coach Jack on the Victory Invitational, we’re so excited to see Wilf, Coach Luke and Coach Kieran follow suit! They will be taking part in the Victory Invitational on the 16th of March, again at Fusion nightclub in Liverpool.
We’re so excited to see how they get on, and it’s brilliant to see the hard work and dedication going in to prepare for their bouts - good luck guys!
