Why Gracie Barra?

Why Should You Train with Gracie Barra?

Jiu-Jitsu

Jiu-Jitsu is a Truly Exciting way to Get Fit

Jiu-Jitsu is often likened to a game of human chess.  If you don’t like to work out at a gym because you get bored, you’re not alone.  Many of our students were tired of going to the gym, and they couldn’t find new songs or audio books to entertain them on the treadmill.

They found Jiu-Jitsu to be the perfect workout because it requires a high level of concentration proportional to the amount of calories burned and pounds lost. What’s more, you’ll still learn to defend yourself. It’s a win-win situation.

People are Committed to your Progress in Learning

The folks at Gracie Barra make our school what it is, and you too will soon be one of us.  You’ll be impressed by how committed each and every team member is to your learning.

The instructors, staff and other students make our environment friendly yet demanding and challenging, which stimulates all of us to achieve our best.

The class structure is the trademark of all Gracie Barra Schools.  Classes start on time and adhere to a standardized curriculum and class structure.

As a student, you know up front what is expected of you and have a clear understanding of what to expect from your instructors and training partners.  The consistency of this structure combined with the creativity and innovation of our devoted instructors blend perfectly to facilitate your progress.

Fighting Techniques will be useful Outside the mats, in Real-life Situations

You don’t come to class just to learn how to fight.  You also work hard toward mastering the underlying principles that allow you to succeed on the mats.

When applied to your life off the mats, these principles can bring more balance to your routine and help you reach your true potential.

You can Train All Over the World

There are over 700 Gracie Barra Schools worldwide.  When you join a Gracie Barra school you are free to train at any location while traveling.

You will Train in Germ-free Facilities

Cleanliness is a top priority.  Our schools adhere to the strict standard of cleanliness and hygiene set by Gracie Barra.

Gracie Barra school staff clean the facilities constantly, and all Gracie Barra uniforms are washed regularly.  Our Gracie Barra school mats are cleaned on a daily basis with a specially designed cleaning agent that neutralises bacteria, fungus and odours without detriment to the equipment.
