GRACIE BARRA LINEAR FUNDO BRANCO

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu passion

In March 2015, Andrea Warner sought a new challenge and exercise and joined a local Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) school. Despite the intimidating nature of BJJ for some women, Andrea was undeterred and quickly fell in love with the sport.

“Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a life-changing sport! I strongly recommend BJJ for women.”

Gracie Barra, a new dream

After some time Andrea found a Gracie Barra school near her and fell in love.  The Gracie Barra method was so well structured, focused on practical self-defense techniques for everyday life.  The programs make it easy for students to track their progress and improvement.  This was so different from any other school she had tried. 

“The structure of classes aligned with the team’s great support made me feel eager to dive into classes, especially after I found a Gracie Barra near me” – Coach Andrea Warner.

It wasn’t long before Andrea’s passion for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu grew into a dream of having her school. She envisioned a clean and welcoming BJJ school in Salt Lake City that would inspire and motivate kids, men, and women to learn both BJJ and self-defense classes.

“I was amazed by all the organization and guidance offered by Gracie Barra Headquarters for new schools” – Coach Andrea Warner.

What is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is by far the best martial art for self defense purposes. Based on leverage, Jiu-Jitsu teaches grappling techniques to obtain control over an opponent or aggressor. The “Gentle Art” focuses on immobilizing and applying submissions by attacking the joints and neck.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches a wide variety of techniques. Often compared to a game of human chess, BJJ will require you to utilize your entire body as well as your mind to gain dominance over your training partners. No matter your level there, is always something new to learn. It is a sport that pushes creativity and strategy.
