"Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is for the protection of the individual... the older man... the weak... the child... the lady or young woman... it's for those who otherwise do not have the physical attributes to defend themselves."

Gracie Combatives® is our beginner program for adults. In this program, you will learn the 36 core techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a fun, safe, and cooperative environment. Although the art of Gracie (Brazilian) jiu-jitsu consists of over 600 techniques, studies of real fights conducted by members of the Gracie Family have shown that 36 techniques have been used more often and with greater success than all the other techniques combined. Originally developed for the U.S. Army, Gracie Combatives® is the only course that is entirely dedicated to the mastery of these 36 essential techniques. 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. 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.

"Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is not merely a set of techniques, it’s a state of mind... and it begins with believing that you are worth defending."

In a perfect world, women wouldn't need self-defense because men wouldn't perpetrate these crimes — but the world is far from perfect.

~ Coming Soon ~     

Women Empowered® is the official Gracie self-defense program for women based on the techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). In this 15-lesson program, we will teach you how to neutralize the 20 most common attacks ranging from having your hair grabbed to being pinned to the ground by a weapon-bearing assailant. Unlike most self-defense systems that rely heavily on strength, speed, and athleticism, the Women Empowered® Program employs leverage, technique, and timing, so anyone, regardless of age or athletic ability, can make them work against larger opponents. In addition to leverage-based physical techniques, women are taught to use the "psychology of an assault" to set boundaries, assess intentions and deter attacks before they happen!
