Gracie Barra Bradley Stoke: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Our Daughter joined last year and has completed a full year at this school... she is 100% addicted and in love with the sessions and club! It has helped her develop mentally, socially and physically at a critical time of growth. She finishes every single session red-faced, sweaty and beaming a huge smile! And she can't wait to get back in there in the following days... The Professors and Coaching Team are incredible tutors, not only in the art of Jiu Jitsu, but with life lessons galore thrown in the mix. And all the kids, big or small, experienced or newbies, are just awesome. So pleased that she opted to try it out and has stuck at it. If you're on the fence about your little treasure joining, get them in there, you won't regret it, and they will thank you for it!
Fantastic experience: My boy joined a couple of months ago and he is as excited to go there every session as he was the first day! The coaches are great and have all the patience in the world absolutely brilliant I highly recommend this place
Fantastic experience: Home from home! GBBS has such an incredible atmosphere. The gym is clean, tidy and professional. The professors / coaches are welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. As a woman, bjj gyms can be intimidating but GBBS couldn’t be further from that. I have felt like family since I walked through the door on my first day! If you’re considering BJJ, don’t hesitate to visit GBBS. You won’t regret it.

The atmosphere is always so welcoming, and it’s great to be part of a community that supports each other week after week!

Fantastic experience: I joined Gracie Barra Bradley Stoke nearly two years ago after stepping away from other sports due to time constraints after my son was born. Since then, I’ve completely fallen in love with Brazilian jiu-jitsu thanks to the incredible community and high-quality coaching at the club. The atmosphere is welcoming, supportive, and genuinely fun, making it a great place for anyone looking to start or continue their BJJ journey.
Fantastic experience: I joined Gracie Barra Bradley Stoke around April this year, after my previous club closed. I've found it to be an amazing place to train! The Professors and coaches are knowledgeable, patient, and truly passionate about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Whether you're a complete beginner or experienced the club is inviting for all. The classes are well-structured, focusing on both technique and application, with a strong emphasis on discipline and mutual respect. What I love most here is , everyone supports and motivates each other to improve. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and has everything needed for great training. The medals in the photo are the ones I've achieved in competitions in the past 7 months since joining Gracie Barra Bradley Stoke. Once a week I will train at another Gracie Barra club in Melksham.
Fantastic experience: I joined Bradley Stoke from another school in early 2024 and everyone was so welcoming from my first session onwards! The coaches are all very friendly & knowledgeable and they all make sure there is a great atmosphere at the club for anyone to train. Would definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: Full timetable, great instructors and really friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend starting, or continuing, your BJJ journey here.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic club with great trainers, offering very different classes. Loads of classes during the week and as members you can attend them all!

Your daughter is such a good student
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere and even better people. The coaches are professional, but always willing to have a laugh with students and make them feel involved. Would highly recommend Bradley Stoke to anyone thinking of starting their BJJ journey.
Fantastic experience: Three friendly and understanding professors n lovely cosy gb club at excellent location in Bradley stoke - highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: These guys have done an amazing job not only teaching my 14 year old son Ju-Jitsu, but mentoring him in many other ways too. My son has gone from an unsure, at times anxious, teen to a confident responsible young man. The environment they have created for him and others is something truly magical & my wife and I couldn’t be more appreciative.
That truly is a heart warming review. Thank you
Fantastic experience: My daughter has recently started at Gracie Barra Bradley Stoke and is getting on so well. She is really enjoying it and is already gaining in confidence, which is a testament to the coaching style and friendly atmosphere within the club. Highly recommend!
Amazing to hear she is enjoying so much
Fantastic experience: I've been part of this great club coming up to 18 months now. Gracie Barra Bradley Stoke has a great atmosphere and really welcoming to people just starting and joining. The instructors are professional and hit the right balance to give clear direction and a laid back atmosphere. With the curriculum to follow and long history with Gracie Barra made me feel like this was a great choice for me. I find BJJ with GB Bradley Stoke to be really good for my wellbeing and fitness, it keeps my mind working in different ways to solve problems with my body. Both my children have also joined and love to learn from the instructors, both making friends along the way. Highly recommend giving it a go.
Thanks Craig you work so hard
Fantastic experience: Excellent family friendly club. Great classes for kids, right through to adult classes for hobbyists and competitors. Top class coaching and joining has been one of the best decisions I have ever made.
Thanks Tony
Fantastic experience: Incredible club and an awesome group of people! A really welcoming atmosphere and run by highly experienced coaches who truly care about their students. There is a fantastic community spirit and I feel like I am part of something special. I would far rather be learning Jiu-Jitsu than going to the gym, it will get you fit like nothing else and demands a humble, discliplined mindset. It genuinely is an amazing experience. Honestly, stop thinking about it and have a go! Thank you Matt, Bruno, Donal, and the other coaches!
Thanks so much Tom, we really do care

Fantastic experience: BJJ at Bradley Stoke is great. Matt & Bruno made me feel really welcome as a complete beginner. I have learned a huge amount, become a lot fitter and made some great friends. My 5-year son is also thriving in the kids classes. I can't think of a better way for parents and children to get fit together whilst learning valuable skills!
Lloyd your willingness to learn is a huge strength
Fantastic experience: Kids Love it and Parents enjoy the benefits. Very good class environment.
Thankyou so much
Fantastic experience: I was lucky enough to start training here pre-lockdown, not long after the gym opened, as a complete newbie to BJJ. From the start Matt and Bruno were fantastic; they really go out of their way to foster a great community and put you at ease. Each class is well structured and while I quickly found myself physically overwhelmed I was having the time of my life! Throughout Covid, lockdowns and restrictions the coaches here have flexed and rolled with the changes, constantly adapting to make sure the members are getting everything they can from the experience. I have recently had to stop training, due to some completely unrelated issues, but can honestly say I can't wait to go back and train with these guys again.
Thanks Iain, glad you are enjoying it
Fantastic experience: Fantastic club, great people and great coaches. There is a depth of knowledge and experience throughout the members which is great to learn from. A good work out which will get you in shape and learn proper techniques at the same time.
Josh, one of the first. What a guy
