Welcome to Gracie Barra Mayfield - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Gym

It is a pleasure to be part of Gracie Barra and to be able to transmit the teachings of master Carlos and Helio throughout the body mind and spirit.

Our school is right in the heart of the city of Newcastle. Newcastle is one of the largest city's of NSW and has an amazing atmosphere because of the surf lifestyle and the warmth of the people.

We teach BJJ, self-defense and mixed martial arts in a family environment where everyone is friendly and welcoming.

My greatest pleasure is to be able to contribute to the Australian community teaching people to improve their well-being, to enjoy life fully and to succeed in their journey.

Our world class BJJ programs are tailored to serve people from different ages and backgrounds. Students range in age from as young as five to more than sixty and any one who is seeking a different sport that is worth dedicating time and learning to will benefit from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It is a continual learning experience; a life long journey of exploration.

Jiu Jitsu is so fascinating and challenging that student's are always wanting to find out more about the art that you will never stop learning. As a student and a teacher for many years I frequently hear students say the famous sentence: "Why didn't I start Jiu Jitsu sooner?" So don't waste your time, come to visit us and experience this wonderful art and be part of the Gracie Barra family.

Message from Master Carlos Gracie Jr

"At the heart of the Gracie Barra Family's extraordinary success over the years is our strong philosophy and mission as a group, a foundation which our masters laid many years ago, but is constantly being reinforced by the great people that make our community. Jiu-Jitsu is a beautiful art, and we have a vision of how it should be taught as a means for individual development going beyond the competitive realm. To achieve this vision, we must remember to come together as a family, always putting the team in front of individual. For that, we will fight to the end for what we believe is right".
