Gracie Barra Townsville

I've been training Jiu-jitsu for over three years, travelled to different gyms around Australia and I haven't come across a Professor more dedicated to thier students as Professor Raony Condini owner/head coach at Gracie Barra Townsville. His knowledge, energy and commitment to the art and his students is incredible. Moving from a different gym into a new atmosphere, the people at Gracie have made me feel very welcomed and over time treated me like a family member. I am happy to call Gracie Barra Townsville my home away from home. This Jiu-jitsu gym prides itself on maintaining a non-ego, good gym culture that's family friendly, a safe place to learn for beginners, personal growth and self defence. A gym that challenges not only your ability but your character and focuses on bringing out the best in you. The uniforms are a symbol of a Jiu-jitsu legacy and a vision that we are all one team, a team to be proud to be a part of. I highly recommend this gym to anyone curious on trying out Jiu-jitsu for the first time or for those beginning/experienced students looking for new challenges. Oss.

Very very welcoming from a ‘never been or seen BJJ’ person! I haven’t felt out of place at all. And everything has been explained and demonstrated excellently.
As a new mum & with crime on the rise in the community, self defence has become a priority - I highly recommend to come and join us, I had no previous experience and have enjoyed it - Gracie Barra has a great atmosphere.

My 3 year old son has been apart of Gracie Barra Townsville now for almost 2 months. He’s absolutely loves going each time. The team have showed so much patience with him and his so heart warming. He doesn’t fully understand some thing in the class but they do 1/1 to show him and to help him. It’s such a great family to be apart of.

Highly recommend for anyone wanting to try! Our 4 year old son has been taking classes & is absolutely loving it. Everyone is so welcoming & it is such a friendly environment!

Wonderful experience with well experienced trainers in a good atmosphere with a large mat space. Family involvement is a great experience especially kids can enjoy. Highly recommended.

Very welcoming environment, approachable coaches and supportive of whatever personal goals you may have. Love being a part of the Gracie Barra family.

Great facility, and an awesome family of members offering plenty of support to all levels. Definitely recommend having a chat with Professor Raony and the team if you’re looking at getting into BJJ!

My son is very shy, reserved and scared of getting hurt.. He loves the training at GB. Especially the fun on school holidays training lessons. The professor is very patient and helps him feel more confident and safe and therefore willing to try new skills. While he isn’t into competitions, the skills and fitness he is building is brilliant and just what he needs. I have recommended to all his friends.

I've been training at Gracie Barra Townsville for over a year after moving from Sydney, felt right at home from day 1. High level instruction from Professor Raony and coaches, and very friendly environment. Highly recommended!

We have been going for 18 months now and couldn’t recommend Gracie Barra anymore. Our two children enrolled have benefited in ways that we didn’t think they would. One child is very confident and one is very reserved. GB has built a real humble confidence to our very confident child and brought out our reserved child to be more comfortable in a public setting. GB has also taught our children self defence and self discipline through a real family feel and that helps us raise our children through positive “community” GB community input.

The family at Gracie Barra are incredible people, I wanted to try some thing new and was met by warm and friendly people who just wanted my experience the best it could be. If you're looking to start out, this is ther place to go

Grace Barra has done wonders for Nate His self worth and concentration levels have improved Nate loves going and the amount of times he can go each week is great he likes his coach

Absolutely a fantastic training centre, the technical aspects of techniques are thoroughly explained, welcoming people, encouraging everyone regardless of skill this place is where you should train!

I highly recommend, they really helped take my nerves away the first visit and motivate me to better my skills. The whole team is very supportive no matter your skill level.

My son (almost 6 years old) and I had the pleasure of training at Grace Barra Jiu-Jitsu in Townsville, Queensland, and I must say that it was an exceptional experience. The owners, Raony (black belt) and Helena expertise and sympathy shines through in every aspect of their gym.

First and foremost, the training environment at Grace Barra is top-notch. The facility is clean and well-maintained for effective Jiu-Jitsu training. The mats are in excellent condition, ensuring a safe and comfortable training space. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced practitioner, you'll feel right at home in this welcoming atmosphere.

The instruction provided by Raony and his coaches/professors is nothing short of outstanding. Their knowledge of Jiu-Jitsu is vast, and they have a unique ability to break down complex techniques into easily understandable steps.

They take the time to support each student, providing personalized feedback and guidance. Their passion for the art is contagious, and it creates a motivating and inspiring atmosphere in every class.

What sets Grace Barra Townsville apart is the strong sense of community and camaraderie among the students. Everyone, from the more experienced members to the newcomers, is supportive and welcoming.

Whether you're there to train competitively or simply looking to improve your fitness and self-defense skills, you'll find a supportive network of like-minded individuals who are dedicated to helping each other grow.

Additionally, Raony and Helena prioritise the safety and well-being of their students. They emphasise proper technique and ensure that all training is conducted in a controlled and respectful manner. They also promote a positive and inclusive training environment, where students of all ages, genders, and skill levels can feel comfortable and empowered.

Absolutely love Gracie Barra Jiu Jitsu, they are so welcoming and have become family.

I've been training here for a year. It is a very friendly environment with great coaches and a family feel. My 10 yo daughter also attends class. BJJ has helped her confidence and her fitness too! If you're at all interested in trying out a martial art give Raony a call!

Not only a great location and well maintained gym but they have the most welcoming, friendly team. They are supportive, caring and educational.
If you are looking for a place to start Gracie Barra is the best option in Townsville and have many different class options.

Has been great for my 8yr olds confidence. Very friendly and welcoming.
