Why train with us

More than Jiu-Jitsu

Gracie Barra is a pioneer in Jiu-Jitsu methodology. Our instructors are trained and certified by Gracie Barra itself, inside an organization with a clear hierarchy and standardized uniforms. Every student gets a personalized experience through the Gracie Barra methodology, and safety comes with it.

It also makes us a community: schools around the world, connected and communicating, united by one methodology. That is why we are more than Jiu-Jitsu.

Confidence & self-esteem

Learn to manage fear and keep a positive mindset. There’s no better way to build real confidence than through martial arts.

Self-defense

Skills that go far beyond trophies, for real danger and for bullying at school, and the confidence to use them, or not.

Discipline & self-control

Sharper focus, new-found respect and better fitness, plus an easier time at work or school.

Friends & mentors

Whether you need a push, a friend or a technique explained again, our community keeps you comfortable and safe while you learn.

“I want each one of them to achieve their personal best while helping spread Jiu-Jitsu.”
