Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the only self-defense system in the world that effectively deals with self-defense on the ground. It doesn’t matter if you’re a man, woman, or child, nor does it matter if you are small, weak, strong, or “over the hill,” Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu will give you the tools to defend yourself in a real world attack. Founder Professor Helio Gracie is the mastermind behind Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. At 135 lbs. Grandmaster Helio modified the traditional jiu-jitsu to work based on technique and leverage rather than speed and strength. He is the father of the famous Ultimate Fighting Champion Royce Gracie.

“Jiu-jitsu is first and foremost an art of combat, all the improvements that I made were with the goal of maintaining that objective.”
-Grand Master Helio Gracie
