Brazilian (Gracie) Jiu-Jitsu

The Grand Master’s Belief

“Grandmaster Helio Gracie, believed that each instructor’s effectiveness should be gauged by the progress of his least athletic student, rather than the accomplishments of his most athletic students.”

Our Teen/Adult Training Programs:

Jiu-Jitsu Fundamentals –  Advanced Jiu-Jitsu

Although Gracie  Jiu Jitsu  (Brazilian jiu-jitsu) is the most effective martial art on planet, it is a relatively young martial art. Lacking a standardized curriculum, it is common practice, at BJJ schools around the world, for techniques to be presented in complete randomness. Each day, the instructor shows up to class, having no idea what to teach, and asks the students: “What do you guys want to do?” as if the students are more informed than he is as to what should be practiced. Learning in such an unorganized environment can be extremely frustrating and overwhelming. New students almost always feel left behind since the techniques are usually tailored to meet the needs of the more advanced students. In most cases, students experience a sensation known as “Technique Overload” and end up quitting within 3 to 5 months of enrolling, and when they do, the instructor believes that the student’s lack of discipline is to blame. What they fail to realize is that when a student quits, the problem lies not within the work ethic of the student, or the techniques of the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, but within the format in which the techniques are being presented.

Our Solution

Realizing that the key to global dissemination of pure Gracie Jiu Jitsu was the development of a formalized curriculum, the Gracie Academy Headquarters  dedicated several years to organizing all the techniques in the most logical sequence based on their complexity and usefulness in combat. Originally, due to its linear nature, the curriculum could only be taught in private lessons. However, after 15 years of experimenting with different training programs, the Gracie Academy developed a curriculum that would enable students to learn all the techniques in a group class setting and still get results that are comparable to those of private classes.

Aside from the unparalleled structure and organization of the curriculum, what makes our group class training programs unique is the way in which we present the techniques. Our teaching methodology allows students to learn at their own pace without feeling overwhelmed or left behind. Furthermore, we conduct all group classes with the utmost concern for safety, and we demand that all students treat each other respectfully regardless of skill level, gender, race, nationality, or creed.

It is our mission not to just teach people how to fight, but to give people the confidence and tools they need so they never have to.
