Gracie Barra Thousand Oaks: Get Started Now! | Phone Number: +1 805-721-6776
Gracie Barra Thousand Oaks: Get Started Now! is the specific call to action for residents of Thousand Oaks, Newbury Park, and Moorpark who want to begin training at the premier BJJ academy in the area.
Located inside the Sports Academy (formerly Mamba Sports Academy), getting started here is a unique experience because you are entering a high-performance athletic facility, not just a standard dojo.
Here is a detailed guide on how to start your journey at Gracie Barra Thousand Oaks today.
- The First Step: Schedule Your Free Introductory Class
You cannot just walk in and jump into a class. To maintain safety and the high standards of the facility, you must book an appointment.
Why Book? This ensures a program director or instructor is available to greet you, give you a tour of the massive facility, and fit you for a loaner uniform.
How to Book:
Online: Visit https://gbthousandoaks.com Look for the Red Button or Free Trial form.
Phone: Call (805) 721-6776.
Walk-In (to Schedule): You can visit the front desk at 1011 Rancho Conejo Blvd to schedule a future class, but immediate participation is rarely guaranteed without a prior booking.
- What Happens on Day 1?
Your first day is designed to be a VIP experience, welcoming you into the “Red Shield” family.
Arrival: Arrive 15-20 minutes early. You will need to sign a waiver and likely check in at the main Sports Academy front desk before heading to the Gracie Barra section.
The Loaner Gi: You will be provided with a clean, sanitized Gracie Barra Gi (kimono) to wear for the class.
The Intro Lesson: You will join the GB1 Fundamentals Class.
No Live Sparring: You will not fight on day one. You will drill basic movements (stance, breakfalls, technical stand-up) and learn one core self-defense technique with a cooperative partner.
Safety First: The instructor (often Professor Gabriel Arges or a senior black belt) will ensure you are safe and comfortable.
- Membership Options (The “Get Started” Deals)
After your trial, you will sit down to discuss membership. While prices vary, here is what you can expect:
Standard Membership: Unlimited access to classes (Morning, Lunch, Evening).
Family Plans: GB Thousand Oaks is famous for family training. If you sign up with your kids, ask about the Family Add-On Discount.
Web Specials: The academy often runs “Get Started” promotions, such as $49 for the first month or a Free Uniform with enrollment. Be sure to ask if any current specials apply.
- Why Start Now?
The Facility: You get to train in a 96,000 sq. ft. facility used by NBA and NFL players. The energy is unmatched.
The Instruction: You are learning directly from Professor Gabriel Arges, a 3x World Champion. Starting now means you get access to modern, world-class technique immediately.
Health: The sooner you start, the sooner you experience the weight loss, stress relief, and cardiovascular benefits of the training.
- Checklist for Your First Class
- Call (805) 721-6776 to secure your spot.
- Bring a water bottle (hydration is key).
- Wear compression shorts | shirt to wear under the Gi.
- Bring sandals | flip-flops for walking off the mats.
