Too comon for too many.

Many people learned about #GracieJiuJitsu when Royce used it to win UFC in 1993! When did you first learn about Gracie Jiu-Jitsu?

Live Q&A with Brian and Rener

We miss being able to share the mat with all of our awesome students!

Helio Gracie in Diario Carioca - August 20, 1950.

We just fished recording the most important instructional series of our lives, and possibly the most important instructional video in the history of jiu-jitsu, but we’ll let you guys decide once you see it! #32Principles

How we plan on getting every officer in America 1 hour of jiu-jitsu training per week.

IMPORTANT Police ANNOUNCEMENT!

Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Justin Gaethje (Gracie Breakdown) The champ retires with an unbelievable second round mounted triangle! Email [email protected] to join our 2-hour FREE live Self-defense 101 Seminar on Zoom next weekend Nov 1 at 10am pst!

WARNING Graphic Video Joshua James King vivaciously attacked @andreapuerta5 on September 4 at 10:43pm. Exactly 3 minutes later he attacked two men on the sa...me train. It’s hard to watch but it’s so important to recognize that violence isn’t always predictable, rational, or provoked. If anyone knows these two men we’d like to extend the same offer we made to Ms Puerta - free lifetime membership to any Certified Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Training Center. For everyone else, we have over 2,000 people registered for our free Self-defense 101 Live Webinar (via Zoom) on Sunday, November 1, 2020 at 10am (PST). We will be addressing techniques and mindset that can be used to stay safe in the event of a sudden violent encounter like these ones. No experience necessary, no training partner required and no special equipment required. This 2-hour live seminar is open to men and women from anywhere in the world. To save your spot, you MUST email [email protected]. We hope to see you there.

The average cop in America gets 4 hours of defensive tactics training every 2 years. FOUR HOURS!!! Not only is this costing law enforcement lives, it is also co...sting civilian lives, since untrained officers will resort to higher levels of force MUCH more rapidly than their well-trained counterparts. The craziest part is that Police Chiefs around the country KNOW that their officer are disastrously undertrained, and the reasons why they aren't making changes has puzzled me for well over a decade, but we have finally cracked the code. We have a plan that will give every officer in America at least 1 hour of jiu-jitsu training per week, and I will be announcing it very shortly. Back story: Officer Sale reportedly responded to a disturbance where he got into an altercation with a suspect in a small town in North Carolina. He was the only officer on patrol. He lost his radio and his gun during the 11-minute fight after which he was airlifted to a hospital.

Congratulations GU instructor @BrianTcity on the big win! We were really hoping for this flying triangle, but we’ll take the 5-round distance management and precision striking clinic instead! @jeanpaulmma @gracielifestyle #ufc #mma #bjj

Nothing but respect to @koreanzombiemma - and this slap in the face was totally appropriate. Unfortunately, I was in the bathroom when it happened.

The teaching methodologies used in the Gracie Bullyproof program are unlike anything else in BJJ. Not only are all the entry-level techniques presented in the form of "jiu-jitsu" games so that kids are highly enthused about learning them, but we use "push teaching" rather than "pull teaching." When a child makes a mistake, we don't focus on the error, instead, we emphasize the correctly executed aspects of the move. Through this carefully layered positive reinforcement, we help the kids reach their full potential without jeopardizing their love for the art.

Women Empowered (WE) is widely regarded as the most comprehensive women's self-defense program ever produced. Based on Gracie Jiu-Jitsu techniques that have been tested and perfected for nearly a century, this course covers the most common and dangerous threats against women. It covers both the psychological and physical aspects of self-defense, including, but not limited to, how to defend against someone trying to subdue you, pin you to the ground, control you with hair grab...s, or use a weapon to carry out an assault. The "linear curriculum" presents the techniques in the exact format that you would experience if you were personally trained by @renergracie and @evetorresgracie at Gracie University HQ. Although no experience is necessary to get started, by the time you complete the program your self-defense reflexes will be rock solid, and it can all be done from the comfort of your own home!

With regard to self-defense training, one of the most common and controversial questions in jiu-jitsu is: gi or no-gi? Many argue that the gi is more realistic for self-defense since it factors in the grips that may occur on street clothing, while others argue that no-gi is more realistic since no-one wears a gi on the streets. Which do you think is more realistic for self-defense? Check out our Street Choke Mastery within www.GracieUniversity.com to hear Ryron Gracie and Rener Gracie break it down!
