Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for EVERYONE!

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu - Adult Programs

The practice of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu according to Gracie Barra allows individuals to understand these principles through an exciting process that combines instruction, observation, practice, appropriate feedback, live training, and competition. 
​​The Gracie Barra Program Structure consists of three main components: the Fundamentals Program, the Advanced Program and the Black Belt Program. Each component is designed for different skill levels, and students are able to transition from one to the other as their training advances.
