Here’s why people across Nottinghamshire are starting their Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu journey with us:
Forget boring gym routines!
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is often called “human chess” – it challenges your mind and body, burning calories and building strength while keeping you fully engaged. And the best part? You’ll also learn real-world self-defence skills that stay with you for life.
At Gracie Barra Arnold, your growth is our priority. Our instructors, staff, and training partners create a friendly, challenging environment designed to push you toward achieving your personal best – both on and off the mats.
The class structure is the trademark of all Gracie Barra Schools. Classes start on time and adhere to a standardised curriculum and class structure. As a student of Gracie Barra Arnold you know up front what is expected of you and have a clear understanding of what to expect from your instructors and training partners. The consistency of this structure combined with the creativity and innovation of our devoted instructors blend perfectly to facilitate your progress – making your journey smooth, consistent, and enjoyable.

As part of the Gracie Barra family, your membership is global. Train at over 1,000 affiliated schools worldwide – from Nottingham to New York, or even Barcelona – and always feel at home on the mats.

Our school offers a safe, structured, and family-focused atmosphere where everyone can grow, learn, and thrive together.
Cleanliness is a top priority at Gracie Barra Arnold. Our school follows strict hygiene protocols to ensure a safe training environment for everyone. Our facility is cleaned daily, and mats are disinfected with a specially designed cleaning solution that neutralises bacteria, fungus, and odours without damaging the equipment. All GB uniforms are washed regularly to maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and care.
Student safety is always our primary concern. Training sessions are fully supervised by experienced instructors, and we have first aid trained staff present at every class to ensure a safe, supportive environment. In addition, every membership at Gracie Barra Arnold includes member-to-member insurance, giving you complete peace of mind every time you step onto the mats.
With over 30 years of proven success, Gracie Barra stands as a world leader in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instruction. At Gracie Barra Arnold, you’ll be taught by certified Black Belt instructors trained in the teaching methods and philosophy of Master Carlos Gracie Jr. You and your family are in expert hands.
