OUR CLASSES:

GRACIE COMBATIVES is our beginner program for adults. In this program, you will learn the 36 core techniques of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in a fun, safe, and cooperative environment. Each one-hour lesson addresses one standing and one ground self-defense technique. You can start the program at any time and participate in any class without previous experience and, since safety is our number one concern, there is no competitive sparring in this program.

FREE WOMEN'S SELF DEFENSE. Unlike most self-defense systems that rely heavily on strength, speed, and coordination, the techniques in the Women's self defense class employ leverage, technique, and timing, so anyone, regardless of age or athletic ability, can make them work against larger opponents.

GRACIE BULLYPROOF CHILDREN'S PROGRAM (ages 4-14)
Every month in the United States, three million children miss school due to fear of bullies. In the Gracie Bullyproof program, our goal is to instill in your child unshakable confidence so they can overcome bullies without violence. Due to the non-violent nature of the techniques, CNN, ABC, NBC, and Oprah have featured the Gracie Bullyproof program as one of the few effective counter-measures to bullying for children between the ages of 5 and 13.

We will teach your child to use verbal assertiveness to deter bullies and several non-violent self-defense techniques to stay safe if physically assaulted. Importantly, we don’t teach how to punch or kick, since this often does more harm than good. Instead, we use leverage-based control holds to neutralize threats without violence. Numerous school districts have embraced the defensive nature of the Gracie Bullyproof techniques as a reasonable, nonviolent response to bullying and some even host Gracie Bullyproof classes on campus! The bottom line is: we will prepare your child to defend themselves against bullies without turning them into one.

Gracie bullyproof schedule:
M 4:30-5:30pm
T 3:30-4:30pm
W 4:30-5:30pm
Th 3:30-4:30pm
Sa 11:30-12:30am
