The Problem with Traditional BJJ Instruction
Despite being the most effective martial art, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is relatively young and often taught without a structured curriculum. Many schools present techniques randomly, leaving instructors unsure of what to teach and students overwhelmed. Beginners frequently feel lost as classes cater to advanced practitioners, leading to “technique overload” and high dropout rates. When students quit, instructors often blame their discipline, overlooking the real issue: the lack of organized instruction.

The Gracie University Solution
To address this, Ryron and Rener Gracie spent years developing a structured curriculum that sequences techniques by simplicity and combat effectiveness. Initially taught through private lessons, the program evolved to work in group settings without compromising results.

Gracie University’s unique approach combines a proven teaching methodology with a focus on safety, inclusivity, and respect. Students learn at their own pace, without feeling overwhelmed or left behind.

At Gracie University, we don’t just teach people to fight—we empower them with confidence so they never need to.
