Class Description
Gracie Combatives® is our beginner program for adults. In this program, you will learn the 36 essential techniques of Gracie (Brazilian) Jiu-Jitsu in a fun, safe, and cooperative/non-competitive 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.

​

The 36 Gracie Combatives® techniques are strategically organized into one-hour classes with each one-hour lesson addressing one standing and one ground self-defense technique. The classes are strategically and systematically structured and tracked to expedite learning as well as to serve as a “road map” allowing you to see the path ahead while also tracking your progress as you go. 

​

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.
