A Closer Look at the Gracie Barra Method

Gracie Barra’s approach to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, honed by Grand Master Carlos Gracie and continually refined under the leadership of Master Carlos Gracie Jr., is renowned for its effectiveness and accessibility. This method emphasizes a structured curriculum, technique-focused drilling, and live sparring sessions.

Here are the core principles that define the Gracie Barra method:

  • Structured Curriculum: Our curriculum, meticulously developed under the guidance of Master Carlos Gracie Jr., is designed for a progressive learning experience. You’ll build a strong foundation of fundamental techniques before advancing to more complex skills.
