BEGINNERS START HERE

Gracie Combatives® is our beginner program for adults. We believe this is the best entry point in the world to learn and master the art of Brazilian or Gracie Jiu Jitsu.  In this program, you will learn the 36 core techniques of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu (also known as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or BJJ) in a fun, safe, and educational environment. Each one-hour lesson addresses one standing and one ground self-defense technique, which are further broken down into technical drills to facilitate the learning process. At the end of each class a realistic reflex development combination sequence will be practiced, performed with varying degrees of intensity, subject to the level you have attained.  You can start the program at any time and participate in any class without previous experience and, since safety and practical skill acquisition is our number one concern, there is a clear focus on the realistic practice of using Jiu Jitsu to neutralize the attacks of a bigger, stronger, more athletic opponent in this program. Upon successful completion of the Gracie Combatives program you will earn your Gracie Combatives Belt which will qualify you for advancement into the Master Cycle program.
