ABOUT THE PROGRAM
SELF-DEFENSE THAT
ACTUALLY WORKS
Gracie Combatives® is the world's leading beginner program for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and it's so much more than a workout. It's a life-saving skill set that teaches you to protect yourself and your loved ones, even against a bigger, stronger attacker.
Originally developed for the U.S. Army, the program relies on leverage, timing, and technique rather than strength, so it works for adults of any age, size, or athletic ability.

BUILT FOR BEGINNERS
NERVOUS TO START?
WE BUILT THIS CLASS FOR YOU
The top two reasons adults avoid martial arts are the fear of getting hurt and the fear of not being good enough. Every Gracie Combatives® class is designed to remove both.
SAFETY IN EVERY CLASS
Training is cooperative and controlled, with your safety the priority in every single class.
NO FITNESS REQUIRED
Technique and timing matter more than strength or speed. Most students get fitter simply by training.
NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED
We'll provide your gi and a focused intro lesson with an instructor before your first group class.
A TEAM BEHIND YOU
Students work with each other, not against each other, in a welcoming, family-like community.
“Their Combatives program is well organized and great for beginners and experienced people. When you get to their Master Cycle, you definitely notice the benefits from the Combatives classes.”
