Bar Harbor Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Bar Harbor Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was founded in 2021 by Greg Noble, a four-stripe purple belt with deep roots in the Mount Desert Island area. Greg began his own BJJ journey in 2012 after enrolling his twin boys in the children’s class run by Nick Braley at Acadia BJJ. Inspired by watching their early progress, Greg dedicated himself to the art and trained for eight years before opening his own academy. He continues to train under black belt Nick Braley, who teaches at Triumph Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, keeping close ties to his lineage. Classes at Bar Harbor BJJ cover both gi and no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Adult students can train in traditional gi sessions as well as no-gi classes, with a drop-in policy that makes it easy for visitors or locals to step onto the mats. The academy also runs a kids’ program, reflecting Greg’s own introduction to the sport as a parent. Instruction is hands-on and practical, with attention to individual progress and a focus on giving students as much mat time as they want. Located on Bethany Lane in Bar Harbor, the facility is wheelchair accessible and aims to serve the wider Mount Desert Island region. Bar Harbor BJJ was created to offer a steady, reliable place for people of all experience levels to train hard and grow in the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
