Questions
Frequently Asked
Do I need any experience to start?
No. Most people who walk into Gracie Barra Simi Valley have never trained before. Your first classes are built around fundamentals, and coaches pair you with training partners who help you learn safely.
What should I bring to my first class?
Comfortable athletic clothing, a water bottle, and an open mind. We will provide a uniform to borrow for your trial class if you need one.
How young can kids start?
Our kids programs start at 3 years old and run through age 13, grouped by age and stage so every child is challenged at the right level.
Are there contracts?
Your trial is risk-free with no obligation. A coach will walk you through membership options only after you have trained and decided it is a fit.
Do you offer women's only classes?
Yes. Our women's program is led by experienced coaches and is a welcoming entry point for anyone who prefers to start there.
