Our team color is the red, our team flag is the Red Shield. The Red Shield connects the Gracie Barra community, our students taking their first class, our Black Belts graduating, our athletes in battle, our instructors teaching, our Schools keeping the legacy alive.
The Red Shield was created by Master Carlos Gracie Jr. with the purpose of unifying all of those who represent Gracie Barra, defend the Red Shield and pass forward the legacy transferred down from Grandmaster Carlos Gracie, and other Jiu-Jitsu legends such as Hélio Gracie, Rolles Gracie and Carlos Gracie Jr.
The Red Shield’s credibility was built over the years through hard work and excellence shown by the Gracie Barra students, athletes and instructors involved in sport Jiu-Jitsu competitions, teaching programs and community work. The Gracie Barra Red Shield is one of the most recognized symbols in Jiu-Jitsu today and all of those who carry it feel a deep sense of loyalty and commitment to Master Carlos Gracie Jr, Gracie Barra and the Jiu-Jitsu for Everyone movement.

Testimonials
Alice Wang
I have been to a couple Gracie Barra locations due to my home being in Everett and my university being in Seattle, I can hands down confidently say that this location has the most welcoming and beginner-friendly community. The professor, Joel, is extremely patient and personable to each and every one of his students. The other more experienced students are always kind and open to helping newer people learn. Despite the gym being smaller in comparison to other Gracie Barra institutions, it is a wonderful environment with an experience truly like no other. Here, you are getting exactly what you are paying for. 100% would recommend to all those looking for a place to train, I love it here!

We visited three different places, and Gracie Barra has stood out as the best by far. It has exceeded all of our expectations. My five year old eagerly looks forward to his jiu-jitsu classes every week. Not only has he improved physically, but his confidence has grown significantly, and he’s developed better social skills. Professor Joel is an amazing instructor who truly connects with the kids and fosters their growth. As an educator, I highly recommend Gracie Barra for any child’s holistic development.
