Beginners Self Defense
At Gracie Barra we strive to help students get the most out of their training. For students with consistency and dedication, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu becomes a life-style and students can readily enjoy all the benefits of Jiu-Jitsu or the "Gentle Art".
No Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
This class focuses on learning and applying the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu without the traditional gi/kimono. Students practice various techniques wearing shorts and a t-shirt. The no gi training makes it a faster style of fighting.
Kids Program
The practice of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is seen as a means to individual development, and our Kids and Juniors Program emphasizes development of these important life skills: discipline, self-confidence, respect, integrity, teamwork and responsibility.

Message from Master Carlos Gracie Jr.
"At the heart of the Gracie Barra Family's extraordinary success over the years is our strong philosophy and mission as a group, a foundation which our masters laid many years ago, but is constantly being reinforced by the great people that make our community. Jiu-Jitsu is a beautiful art, and we have a vision of how it should be taught as a means for individual development going beyond the competitive realm. To achieve this vision, we must remember to come together as a family, always putting the team in front of individual. For that, we will fight to the end for what we believe is right".
