Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is the official hand-to-hand combat system of the United States Military and law enforcement agencies all around the country.

Founded on easy and instinctive movements, this reality-based method is intended to transmit practical self-defense in the shortest doable time. Our courses will teach you the defenses against the most common street attacks. Learn to defend against ordinary chokes, grabs, punches, kicks, bear hugs and head locks, as well as weapons such as guns, knives, and sticks. Just as important, we teach people to function during the stress and shock of a sudden, violent encounter.

Aside from being tested on the battlefield and in the streets, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu gained popularity and respect thru its overwhelming victories in the no-holds-barred arena.  To learn more about our school set up a free introductory class.

FUNDAMENTALS

The Fundamentals 27 Lesson System TM. includes 120 techniques that could literally save your life during a confrontation. This innovative teaching method is an adaptation by Professor Pedro Valente of Grand Master Helio Gracie’s private class curriculum which has been used and perfected for over 80 years. Frequent practice is essential if efficiency is to be gained. The key to learning Jiu-Jitsu is repetition. The ultimate goal is to condition your sub-conscious with Gracie Jiu-Jitsu

PRIVATES

Grand Master Helio Gracie has stated that the fastest way to take full advantage of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu techniques and all its intricacies and details is by taking private lessons.

During private lessons you will learn several techniques against all types of street aggressions including bare hand, club, knife and gun attacks.

The private curriculum is divided into 3 phases: Basic, Fundamentals, & Advanced. After only 36 private lessons a student will improve dramatically his/her ability to fully defend himself in a real street scenario.

WOMEN'S DEFENSIVE TACTICS

This program was specifically designed to prepare women for real life threatening situations. Our Self Defense techniques provide the knowledge and skills for any woman to escape from her attacker, whether she is on her feet or on the ground. This course is unique because it does not rely exclusively on punching and kicking, as do many other forms of martial arts.

Punching and kicking are not effective against an assailant who is bigger, stronger and capable of hitting back. In addition, they are useless on the ground, which is where a rapist/attacker is going to assault a woman.
