Gracie Combatives is our beginner program for adults to learn self-defense fast. In this program, you will master the 36 core techniques of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu (also known as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or BJJ) in a fun, safe, and cooperative environment. You can start the program at any time and join any class without prior experience.

Although Gracie Jiu-Jitsu comprises over 600 techniques, studies of real fights conducted by members of the Gracie Family have shown that 36 techniques have been used more often and with greater success than all the other techniques combined. Originally developed for the U.S. Army, Gracie Combatives is the only course entirely dedicated to the mastery of these 36 essential techniques.

No prior experience is needed to start this program. Our instructors conduct all classes in a cooperative training environment, ensuring every new student has an informative and enjoyable experience, regardless of age, gender, or athletic ability.

Unlike most martial arts schools that offer a single free class, we provide 10 calendar days of free classes, a uniform to borrow, and access to a video library for at-home practice. Sign up for your first free introductory class and see the difference martial arts can make. Parents are welcome to participate, especially for children under 5.
