Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Programs for Adults & Teens
Three structured levels designed to meet you exactly where you are — whether you have never trained before or are looking to sharpen competition-level technique.
Ages 13+ · All levels
Designed for complete beginners. Learn the core principles of BJJ — positional control, safety mechanics, and real self-defense — with no prior experience and no live sparring pressure.
Ages 16+ · Gi
For practitioners ready to go deeper. Refine your timing, chain techniques, and develop reflexes through live drilling and structured sparring in the Gi.
Ages 16+ · Gi & No-Gi
High-level submission grappling, combat strategy, and elite technique. Both Gi and No-Gi formats. For experienced practitioners pushing their game to the next level.
What You Gain on the Mats
Unlike systems built on strength or speed, BJJ teaches leverage and technique — so anyone, regardless of size or age, can defend themselves effectively against a larger opponent.
BJJ is one of the most complete full-body workouts available. Every session builds functional strength, endurance, flexibility, and coordination you'll feel outside the gym.
Often called "human chess," BJJ sharpens problem-solving under pressure, builds resilience, and develops the calm focus that carries directly into professional and personal life.
Training at Gracie Barra means joining a global family. Our academy is ego-free, welcoming, and built on mutual respect — a community you'll want to be part of every week.
No Experience Needed. Ever.
Our GB1 Fundamentals program is built for adults and teens with zero prior martial arts background. You can start any class, at any time, without feeling lost or out of place. Safety is our first priority — there is no live competitive sparring in the beginners program.
- No prior experience required
- Start any class, any time
- No competitive sparring in GB1
Advanced Training for Serious Practitioners.
GB2 and GB3 are built for practitioners ready to push their technical development further. Live sparring, submission grappling strategy, and Gi and No-Gi formats give you the complete picture of high-level BJJ in a structured, world-class training environment.
