In 1993 a slim 180 pound guy in a funny uniform entered the first cage fighting competition in the USA. He astounded everyone by not only winning the event, fighting 3 or 4 times that night, but by doing so against much bigger opponents that outweighed him by 30 pounds or more! That man was the one and only Royce Gracie! Utilizing his families unique style of Gracie Jiu Jitsu, Royce Gracie destroyed his much bigger opponents through the first three UFC events.
Gracie Jiu Jitsu is a style of martial art dedicated to standing and ground grappling methods. While similar to wrestling, it has a very different set of goals.
In our Gracie Jiu Jitsu classes, you will learn the highly effective ground grappling methods that came from Brazil and were developed by the Gracie Family. In our Gracie Jiu Jitsu program we also include training from other grappling disciplines to provide our students with more options to ensure their success. (e.g Wrestling (Freestyle
and Greco, Judo...etc).
During this program, you will learn to escape from inferior positions, control your partner from superior positions, as well as submissions such as arm locks, leg locks and chokes. Later on in the program, we address such advanced topics as tactics, strategies and specific attribute development.
Most Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu schools just throw beginner students to the wolves the first week they have started training. Your introduction to Jiu Jitsu is getting your butt kicked by the more advanced students. You better be in shape before you attend most schools or else you’re going to be in for a long, rough night.
On top of that, one dirty little secret that no one at these schools tells you is that you’re going to learn whatever the instructor *feels* like teaching that day. In all forms of education, educators have a very detailed curriculum to guarantee that a student learns the required material. Could you imagine a college professor teaching whatever popped into his/her mind that day? Unfortunately, this is the way most Jiu Jitsu academies operate.
Our classes are taught in a structured, friendly, and hard working atmosphere that is 100% geared to teaching our new students core basic requirements at our Academy. We use specialized training technique, like non-attributed driven training, the “I “method, The Aliveness concept and more.
