Bully-proof your child while fostering discipline, confidence, respect, and physical coordination. Our fun, safe, age-appropriate classes help children thrive in school and in life.
Book Free Kids Class →The core bedrock of Jiu‑Jitsu. Learn practical self-defense, escapes, positional control, and fundamental leverage in a structured, safe, zero-intimidation environment.
Start in Fundamentals →Level up with high-percentage combinations, takedowns, submission chains, and live sparring sessions. Includes both Gi and No-Gi training.
Explore GB2 →Traditional gyms get boring. Repetitive treadmills and weights don't teach real skills or build genuine mental resilience. Jiu‑Jitsu changes how you think, react, and live.
Experience the Difference →When you're on the mats solving physical puzzles, the outside world disappears. Jiu‑Jitsu acts as active meditation, clearing your mind and releasing stress like nothing else.
No more forcing yourself onto a treadmill. In BJJ, you burn 700–1,000 calories an hour while acquiring lifelong self-defense skills surrounded by teammates who push you forward.
Our GB Kids program instills genuine discipline, goal setting (earning belts and stripes), physical coordination, and the confidence to stand up to bullies with poise.
Learn how technique, leverage, and body mechanics allow a smaller person to successfully control and neutralize a larger, stronger opponent on the ground.
We offer flexible morning, afternoon, and evening classes 6 days a week. Whether you're balancing school, work shifts, or family life, our schedule ensures you never miss mat time.

I’ve trained with Professor Heath and Coach Chris for 5+ years. They’re highly competent BJJ practitioners and are eager to share their knowledge with others. They have helped me time and time again improve my game. To be sure, starting jiujitsu can be scary so I recommend training under people you feel safe with while, at the same time, being open to instruction—both are crucial. Pro. Heath and Coach Chris have my vote and I am personally excited others will get the opportunity to learn from them, too.![]()

Professor Heath and Coach Chris are first and foremost great people who I’ve had the pleasure of meeting on the mats. Both have taken special time outside of regular class to work on specific techniques that have directly improved my performance. They both provide excellent training to beginners to advanced level Jiu-Jitsu practitioners. Their attention to detail, dedication, and patience towards all ages and levels separates GB Victorville from other schools in the area. Whether you’re looking for a place to train Jiu-Jitsu for your kids or as an adult in the High Desert, look no further. Gracie Barra Victorville provides a safe, welcoming environment to learn everything Jiu-Jitsu has to offer—both on and off the mats.![]()
