Welcome to Gracie Jiu Jitsu San Antonio

 

 

Structured Learning

Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is for everyone, but only if taught correctly. While most BJJ schools have taken a “one-size-fits-all” approach to teaching the art, Gracie University has gone to great lengths to create specific programs for each demographic: Gracie Bullyproof®️ for kids (ages 5-12), Women Empowered®️ for the ladies, Gracie Combatives®️ for beginner adults, and the Master Cycle for advanced practitioners. Each program adheres to a set curriculum, so students know exactly what they will learn before they come to class. Every student is issued an attendance card on which we track daily progress, so they can see how much they’ve accomplished and exactly what it will take to move on to the next level. In a martial art where confusion and frustration are extremely common, we’ve gone to great lengths to ensure that you will enjoy the highly structured and encouraging approach only found at Certified Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Training Centers like Gracie Jiu-Jitsu San Antonio.
