Gracie Barra Chelmsford is the Essex branch of the global Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu network, based on an industrial estate on Eckersley Road. Training runs across two mats from early morning to evening, seven days a week. Alongside gi and no-gi BJJ, the academy teaches Muay Thai, wrestling and MMA for adults and children. Kids' programmes start from age three and progress through juniors and teens, with an invitation-only competition class. Adults can begin with an eight-week beginner course or a free introductory session, and a women's-only programme is available. The academy has Premium School status within Gracie Barra, is a REORG-approved gym supporting veterans and emergency services personnel, and runs private training. A reception area and pro shop stock uniforms and kit.
