The Gracie Difference
Building a Strong Foundation for a Lifelong Journey
1. Beginner - Friendly
The program is designed to be accessible to individuals of all ages, sizes, and fitness levels.
It emphasizes safety and cooperation between training partners.
2. Safety
Gracie Combatives prioritizes a cooperative learning environment. Students work with partners to learn and practice techniques, rather than engaging in intense, competitive sparring.
This minimizes the risk of injury.
The focus is on learning proper technique and control, not on "winning" or "dominating" a partner.
3. Structure
The curriculum is designed with a gradual, step-by-step approach. This allows students to build a solid foundation of fundamental skills before moving on to more complex techniques.
This structured progression helps to prevent students from attempting techniques they are not yet ready for, reducing the likelihood of injury.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers about our Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Programs
Do I need to be fit for this?
There are zero fitness requirements to be able to start our beginner Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes! One of the benefits of BJJ is that it relies on technique and timing rather than strength, speed, or athleticism.
Our students start at all different fitness levels, however, you will find that you do enhance your fitness by doing our San Antonio BJJ classes. Isn’t that the point though? A fun workout that gets results!
I have no experience, what do I do?
Just show up! Upon arriving, you will be given a uniform (called a “gi”) and will be given a focused introductory lesson by one of our instructors before you join in the group class.
Every beginner class is taught with no previous experience necessary, so you will not feel left behind.
Our program is structured by class number (23 group classes), so you will always know exactly what techniques you will be learning on any given day. You could even check out the techniques of the day on GracieUniversity.com before class to get a head start!
I'm not very sporty or coordinated. Will this be a problem?
Not at all. In fact, many students starting in our adult martial arts classes may have described themselves like that before they started. There is absolutely no experience necessary for any of our beginner classes. You will fit right in!
Give yourself some time, and you will be astounded at what your body is capable of, and how much you can improve!

Is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for women?
Absolutely! Specifically because Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) has proven reliable in defending against larger opponents for nearly a century, it is the perfect martial art for women.
Many women train in our co-ed Gracie Combatives classes, however we also have women-only classes available if that is preferred.
We love seeing the physical confidence develop in our female students as they gain self-defense skills on the mat!
What do I need to bring for my first Martial Arts lesson ?
Upon arriving for your first jiu-jitsu class, we will provide a uniform, called a gi, for you to wear. We recommend comfortable undergarments or leggings, and a t-shirt or rashguard that you can wear under your gi. We will also have training attire available for purchase after your class.
