About
No video, no dark hero. This page is here to show the header reading its backdrop: it loads with dark ink over this light background, then goes glass as you scroll, same as everywhere else.
About Gracie Barra
Founded in 1986 by Master Carlos Gracie Jr., Gracie Barra has grown into a community of over 1,200 schools on six continents. One method, one curriculum, one Red Shield.
Every program follows the GB Method, so students progress through the same structured curriculum whether they train in Bakersfield or Barra da Tijuca.
What we stand for
Brotherhood, Integrity, and Development. Organized like a team, fighting like a family. The values carry from the kids’ mats to the black-belt class, and they are why students stay for decades, not months.
About GB Bakersfield
Our school brings the GB standard to Bakersfield: certified instructors, a curriculum for every age group, and a mat culture where beginners are welcomed, not tested.
Come by, watch a class, and meet the team. Better yet, get on the mat.
