Gracie Barra Harrogate May Newsletter
Hi Everyone
Welcome back to our newsletter! A busy month lies ahead with 2 big competitions - the BJJ British Open and The Yorkshire Open!
We’ve also seen our brilliant coaches Kieran and Luke test themselves again on the Super Fight stage - this time attending Market Mayhem in Wales to face strong, seasoned competitors in their bouts. Check out the links to watch their fights below!
Finally, we’re really excited to revamp our referral scheme. We’ve simplified the process to ensure every member can receive rewards for welcoming their friend to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, be it at Gracie Barra Harrogate, or at our sister school Gracie Barra Apperley Bridge - find out more information on rewards below!
There’s no better compliment than seeing our members bring their friends along, and we know there’s no better feeling than getting to train with them on the mats. Thank you to everyone who has referred a friend so far, and helping our welcoming community grow.
See you on the mats,
Team GB Harrogate
Our revamped referral reward scheme is here!
As you may have seen in our recent email, we’ve refreshed our referral scheme - simplifying it to ensure our members can benefit from referral rewards quickly, with various rewards now available!
For every friend that signs up to a membership at Gracie Barra Harrogate or Gracie Barra Apperley Bridge, you will receive a reward to the value of £20 from us. This can be redeemed as £20 off your membership the following month, a £20 voucher to spend in the GB Wear shop, £20 off a future seminar - or if you’re feeling super nice, you can gift it to your friend!
Simply ensure your friend quotes your name at the first point of enquiry to receive your reward! Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or would like any more information on the scheme.

Gracie Barra Harrogate Women Tackle Total Warrior In Support of New Beginnings!
A brave group of women from Gracie Barra Harrogate are taking on Total Warrior on the 22nd of June to support the New Beginnings Peer Support. Fundraising such as this is vital to New Beginnings, funding their efforts to be highly responsive to their client's needs.
Whether that is covering travel expenses to enable a 1:1 meeting face to face or to get children to childcare in the summer holidays, the cost of a video doorbell for added security at child handovers or to cover overtime to enable peer mentors to attend advocacy meetings. Every little helps!
Please support the amazing team at Gracie Barra Harrogate to support New Beginnings Peer Support by donating what you can here. You can select a predetermined amount or select £0.00 and alter to your chosen amount. Thank you!
