We are so proud of our Gracie kids in BJJ. They can come in the door either shy as a mouse or cocky as an eagle. Either way BJJ can moderate through physical AND mental conditioning. #sanjosekids #ralphgracie #graciejiujitsu

Congrats to Matt on a well-deserved grey belt promotion! A model student at only 6 years old Matt has trained hard and consistent for 1.5 years often times staying after class for extra drilling and to clean the mats.

BJJ v. Boxing In October 1996, when both Ralph Gracie and Roy Jones, Jr. were undefeated and holding championship belts, Ralph challenged the heavier competitor to a no-rules fight to determine the greatest pound-for-pound figther. Jones Jr. was offered $1M for every minute he could survive. This challenge highlighted the Gracie family efforts at the time to prove Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as the dominant form of fighting.
