PROF. SEIDLER RODRIGO
Gracie Barra Riverton proudly welcomes students from Riverton, Herriman, Daybreak, South Jordan, Bluffdale, Draper, and surrounding areas to experience world-class Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training in a safe, family-friendly environment. Our Jiu-Jitsu school is open and thriving, offering Jiu-Jitsu classes for everyone, from young children to adults taking their first steps on the mats, as well as seasoned practitioners looking to refine their skills. We have built a beautiful community with a strong focus on growth, respect, and teamwork.
Under the leadership of Professor Seidler Rodrigo, who has successfully grown Gracie Barra Salt Lake City and Gracie Barra West Jordan, along with Professor Andrea Warner, our Riverton location delivers the official Gracie Barra curriculum, ensuring structured learning, proven techniques, and a supportive community for every student.
More than just a place to train, Gracie Barra Riverton was designed to make every student, and every family member, feel welcome from the moment they walk in. Our school has a bright, open mat space with plenty of room to train, plus a comfortable viewing area where friends and family can watch classes.
We’ve created a clean, cozy, and well-organized environment with thoughtful details that make your training experience even better:
Changing rooms and showers so you can train before or after work with ease.
A kids’ room where little ones can spend time before or after class in a safe space.
A GB Wear mini shop stocked with official uniforms, rashguards, and training gear so you can step onto the mats fully prepared.
At Gracie Barra Riverton, we’ve combined professional-quality facilities with a warm, family-friendly atmosphere, so whether you’re training hard or cheering from the sidelines, you’ll feel right at home.
“We're excited to bring Gracie Barra's renowned Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instruction to Riverton, Utah! Our new school will boast state-of-the-art facilities, providing an exceptional training environment for students of all ages and experience levels.”

"I can't wait to share my passion for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with all of Utah!"
Professor Andrea
The very first 50 students to join Gracie Barra Riverton earned the title of Red Shield Founders, securing a place in our history from day one. Many of them share how honored they feel to be part of the story of their favorite Jiu-Jitsu school, helping shape the community, traditions, and spirit that make training Jiu-Jitsu here so special.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or simply BJJ, is the best martial art for self-defense. It can suits every kind of people as it’s all about using leverage, timing, and smart technique to control someone, no matter their size, without relying on strength alone.
People call it “The Gentle Art” because the goal isn’t to hurt your training partner, but to outsmart them using holds, pins, and submissions. We train in a safe, respectful way so everyone can learn and improve together.
The cool part? BJJ is like a real-life game of chess, but you’re moving your whole body instead of pieces on a board. It keeps your mind sharp, your body active, and your problem-solving skills on point. Plus, no matter how long you train, there’s always something new to learn, which is why people stick with Jiu-Jitsu for life.
Training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is more than just learning techniques, it’s a lifestyle that naturally leads to healthier habits. Most students find themselves eating better, staying active, and taking care of their bodies because what you do off the mats makes a big difference when you’re on them.
At Gracie Barra, brotherhood is one of our core values. You’ll be part of a community of like-minded people who encourage you, challenge you, and celebrate your progress. The friendships you build here often grow far beyond the mats.
We’re not a fight club, we’re a family. Our goal is to offer the best Jiu-Jitsu in Utah while giving every member a safe, positive, and motivating place to train.

I am absolutely thrilled about the opening of Gracie Barra Herriman! This isn’t just another Jiu-Jitsu school— Gracie Barra is the largest and most trusted global Jiu-Jitsu family in the world. Having trained with my family for about a year and a half, I can personally attest to the amazing transformation. I've noticed my son has developed significantly greater focus, discipline, and respect—he's learned far more than just martial arts techniques. For me, it's a wonderful way to get consistent exercise and quality physical activity that we can enjoy and practice together as a family. The team of professors here is truly outstanding, consistently instilling confidence, discipline, and crucial mental focus in every student. The Jiu-Jitsu taught at Gracie Barra is a practical and highly effective self-defense system, empowering kids and adults to use leverage and strategy to escape difficult situations. More importantly, the mental toughness and strategic problem-solving skills we develop on the mats apply directly to overcoming challenges in daily life, school, and work. Highly recommend this academy!Posted on Jennifer FerrerDecember 21, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been a member of Gracie Barra for about a year and a half. I am a blue belt. With my experience I have had nothing but a positive experience. My training partner are my best friends, we support each other on and off the mats, and in tournament. ALL the professors are caring but hold a strong standard of Gracie Barra traditions and they simply love Jiu-jitsu. You can see it in the way they teach and speak about Jiu-jitsu. They will take care of you. We are family in jiu-jitsu. We have picnics, we went on hikes, we played at a lake. We celebrate wedding and baby shows and birthday's. When it comes down to it Gracie Barra is a outstanding place to learn self-defense, self worth, self improvement, self love with a little hint of Brazilian traditions.Posted on Karliene AraujoDecember 21, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
