I have been training with GB Greystone for a few months now, and this is by far the best gym I have ever been a part of. Facilities are extremely clean, great A/C for the Alabama heat, very welcoming staff, gym members are super helpful and kind, wonderful location, plus there are multiple time-slots to fit any schedule.I strongly recommend this sport for any person who likes solving puzzles, wants a physical challenge/change, or is tired of the same boring sports we played in high school. My wife has done her own trial class and looks forward to joining the gym herself. So if you have interests or have any questions, simply ask or pop in the gym and see what GB Greystone BJJ is about.
Incredible place of learning and acceptance. The instructors are all highly professional and truly caring. You never feel out of place here. I have felt an overwhelming sense of belonging and have never felt judged at all for my weight. The instructors are top of their game and truly have your best interests at heart. These gentlemen are the very best and I highly recommend this program for adults and children alike! Their dedication to the sport is awe-inspiring. I have learned so much in just a short time. I would give Professor Frank and Professor Cole a hundred stars if I could! Do yourself a favor and join Gracie Barra Greystone!
Great facility for beginners and veterans. I have little a little one and she loves it. Staff is attentive and professional. I would recommend to both children and adults. They have classes to fit all age groups and experience levels. A+++
These guys are offering a service second to none! I’ve never liked gyms. Always exercised alone or in team sports. I went out on a limb and tried something new to my world with BJJ GB Greystone. Frank and Cole are fantastic professors that are extremely knowledgeable. I personally do the morning classes which Cole runs and he has an excellent balance of patience and expectations. I get nothing but satisfaction spending time at this gym. Great group of folks I’ve been training here about 9 months and I feel right at home with this Gracie Barra family. I chose to try this because I wanted a fun and effective way to workout, and I can honestly say one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It is amazing that by about 2PM every day, I am mentally sharper if I have trained that morning. And if I didn’t go in, I find decision making harder. I’m definitely more reactive of a person without class. I bring this up to stress the impact that this training has had on my life that it literally makes every day better. Super thankful for the gym and highly recommend trying it! Being in a room full of Alpha type folks makes us all grow as individuals. Folks who balance healthy competition with individual growth, it really feels like a team sport, and a tight knit family. Keep it up guys thanks for everything you do! -Ben
Nice clean facility and excellent instructors. They love what they do and they care about your experience and progression. I love it there and am happy I decided to sign up. Highly recommended
Ive been to gyms all over the state and is hands down best one ive been too! The facility is super clean. The instructors are very knowledgeable. The people and staff are very welcoming and friendly. This place has become more than my gym but my family. Everything about this place is professional and careful. I love it and do not plan to go anywhere else.
This is a locally owned and operated gym. The staff is first class and looks out for their members. You will quickly become family here and learn a great martial art/ self defense system. Great for parents and children.
Best way for learning self defense and be in good shape. Also kids really enjoy their classes and learn about discipline.
Jiu Jitsu at GB Greystone has been amazing for my son’s confidence! They are awesome with the kids and make it super fun! We love it!
Excellent in every way! Clean professional environment with the nicest people you could hope to train with.
GB Greystone has excellent instructors with lots of experience. They have class schedules that can accommodate pretty much anyone’s personal schedule (morning, lunchtime, evening, and weekend classes). Very family friendly and a great place for all ages and experience. Even if you’ve never practiced a martial art. If you’re wanting to learn self-defense, looking to compete, or just want to get in shape, this is a top notch place to do it. You will quickly develop a “brotherhood” type of relationship with your training partners because everyone is trying to help each other be a better practitioner. I couldn’t ask for a better experience in my own Jiu Jitsu journey.
Great people, great training. The instructors really bring out how strong you can be
The G B Greystone B J J team has made feel at home. They have always encouraged me, spent time with me to make sure I was learning and also making sure I was safe! I would recommend G B Greystone BJJ to any person male or female from the very young to someone who has retired looking for self defense and or sport/hobby. For me it is as much mental therapy as physical therapy.All I can say is Thank you GB Greystone B JJ.
I’ve been a member at Gracie Barra Greystone since they opened in 2018. The environment there has always been welcoming and encouraging, while also being honest pushed to be a better jiu-jitsu practitioner. The people there aren’t only friend and teammates, but a genuine family.
January 2019, I entered BJJ as a gift from my parents. Through my time here, I have acquired life changing confidence about myself and have met a lot of great people and formed friendships for many years to come. Coming to the gym each week is equally as fun as it is skill building for a sport I have come to love.
I can’t say this enough, BJJ is one of the best investments you can make in yourself. I’ll be real I was extremely nervous to walk thru those doors for the first time but here I sit almost a year later and can’t imagine not having the friendships that I have with my Gracie family at GB Greystone. The knowledge, discipline, skill building and self respect are only secondary to the positivity that comes from this sport with the right gym. GB Greystone is that place for me. Everything to gain and nothing to lose in this scenario. I’ve had friends switch gyms from other places to GB and never look back. It literally is Jiujitsu for everyone. Everyone is welcome to be a part of the family. 🙏🤙🇺🇸🇧🇷
I didn’t know what to expect or if I would like it enough to motivate me to continue, but I fell in love with it during my first trial class. I haven’t looked back. I only wish I had started when I first thought about it a year ago.
Best grappling in Birmingham 🤙🏽 Great staff, always welcoming!
Great place to train and get a good workout. The instructors here really know what they are doing, and they provide a fun comfortable enviroment to learn. I would highly suggest giving it a chance if you are interested!!!
A welcoming, professional environment, a great program for kids! They do a great job of making them work hard without them knowing they are working. It’s a fun, controlled environment for them to learn Jiu Jitsu and discipline.
I cannot say enough good things about this gym. Everything about it is very positive; from the staff to the facility itself. The mats, bathrooms, changing rooms are very clean and I have no qualms about either me or my children rolling around. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable without any egos or aloofness. My family and I felt welcomed from the moment we walked in. This gym is great for everyone. Got young kids? Its for you. Are you a woman worried about rolling with men? There are plenty of women there and they also hold women only nights. Are you older and out of shape? There are plenty of older folks and you can go at your own pace. Whether your goal is exercise, self-defence, or you just want to have fun, this gym is for you. Id give it more than five stars if that was an option.
Great place for your whole family!! We are a family of four and our kids love the Professors and Coaches!! Very encouraging atmosphere! You just feel at home!! The support you receive from the staff and fellow practitioners is enough to make you never want to leave! Could not say enough great things about this place! Highly highly recommend!!!
Very Good class!
Fantastic gym for BJJ of all levels. Quality professors who are flexible enough to teach at different speeds and understand your goals. Everyone is incredibly friendly, so expect to be welcomed by a lot of people. If youre considering it, do yourself a favor and come in.
Joining Gracie Barra has changed my life. Way better than a gym membership. I’ve lost over 40 lbs and my wife loves the transformation, both physical and emotional. If you’re looking to get your life and health back I highly recommend.
I love it!!! An absolutely wonderful club to be a part of. Clean facility, knowledgeable instructors, very well run. I have learned a ton about self defense and gotten in shape at the same time. I would recommend Gracie Barra Greystone to anyone.
Gracie Barra Greystone is the place to go if you’re looking for a family friendly environment and high level BJJ instructors. Drop by for a free trial class and I’m sure you will fall in love for the gentle art. Amazing self defense program for women’s and anti-bullying for kids.
If you’ve ever wanted to study martial arts Gracie Barra is the place for you. Immaculately clean facility with a family atmosphere and top notch instruction.
I’ve tried different workout systems and big box gyms over the years but NOTHING compares to GBBJJ. The one on one coaching (or professoring?) is my favorite part and what makes Gracie Barra stand out for me. From the second you walk in the door it feels like a big family. I came in with 0 experience but every class is structured with all skill levels in mind and not once have I felt intimidated or out of place. I strongly urge anyone who is hesitant to just take one class, you’ll be hooked before it ends.
This is one of the best places to teach your kids, or adults confidence, strength, and flexibility with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Professor Frank, Coach Juliana, and Coach Kim, among others, are some of the best leaders in the industry. You cannot go wrong with Gracie Barra Alabama and the Greystone location. I highly recommend this group!
Great staff! Great instruction! Great for kids and adults!
I LOVE my Gracie Barra Greystone jiujitsu gym! I’ve learned so much from the focused attention. After a hard day, I know that training jiujitsu will relax me. We have more females training jiujitsu than ever before and women’s training class is filled with laughter and great training partners. Professor Frank and Coaches Kim and Juliana have built a family here at the gym and I’m thankful to be part of this growing crew!
Great place right now im doing a sample class but I already love it
Very clean gym, with a welcoming atmosphere, very skilled and professional staff.
