Not just another martial arts gym.
Most academies have one or two black belts. We have five, plus experienced brown and purple belt coaches — 11 coaches total. That depth means your child's 4:00 PM class gets the same caliber instruction as the advanced adult session at 7:00 PM. As a sister school to Gracie Barra Ocotillo, our students also have access to 9 black belts across both locations.
We opened on Hunt Highway in 2023 and Queen Creek showed up — 38 five-star reviews in our first two years from families across Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, and Johnson Ranch.

What our students say.
Real reviews from Queen Creek, San Tan Valley.
"Moved to Queen Creek from California and tried two other gyms before finding GB. The depth of instruction here is on another level — multiple black belts plus an incredible coaching staff. My daughter and I both train and it's become the highlight of our week."
"I signed up for the women's program after years of thinking about it. Coach Nikola and the team created an environment where I never once felt intimidated. Down 18 lbs in four months and I actually look forward to working out now."
"The kids program here changed my son's life. He was getting bullied at school — within two months of training, the bullying stopped completely. Not because he fought back, but because he carries himself differently. That confidence is real."
"We drive from Johnson Ranch three times a week and it's worth every minute. The coaches know each kid by name. The structure is impressive — my 6-year-old and 10-year-old are both thriving in their age groups."
"Started BJJ at 42 with zero athletic background. The GB1 Fundamentals program met me exactly where I was. Eight months later I'm in the best shape of my life and earned my first stripe. Never too late."
"What sets this place apart is the culture. Every person on the mat — from the newest white belt to the black belt professors — treats you like family. My whole family trains here and we wouldn't go anywhere else."
