Adult & teen co-ed and women’s beginner programs!
Gracie Combatives® is our co-ed beginner program for adults & teens, focusing on the 36 core techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) in a safe, fun, and cooperative environment.
Each one-hour class covers one standing and one ground self-defense technique, divided into simple drills to aid learning.
The 36 techniques, derived from over 600 jiu-jitsu techniques, are the most effective in real fights.
The program, initially developed for the U.S. Army and used by police departments across the country requires no prior experience and classes that can be taken in any order so you can start at any time.
After learning the techniques and mastering them in our Reflex Development classes, you can test for your Combatives® belt and move on to our advanced Master Cycle® program.
“Is Your Daughter Campus Ready?”
Gracie Women Empowered® is a specialized self-defense program designed for women, rooted in BJJ principles.
It comprises 15 lessons tailored to teach participants how to recognize common assault tactics and effectively neutralize them.
Techniques covered include defenses against hair grabs, drags, and ground pins, particularly from armed assailants.
Each class introduces techniques, emphasizing leverage and timing rather than strength, making it accessible to all, regardless of age or fitness level.
Developed with input from law enforcement and assault survivors, the program addresses concerns such as injury worries, or past negative experiences associated with martial arts training.
Beyond physical techniques, Gracie Women Empowered® instills an empowerment mindset by promoting awareness, risk assessment, and the establishment of safe boundaries.
This approach equips participants not only with practical defense skills but also with the confidence and mental preparedness needed to handle threatening situations effectively.
Enrollment in any of our programs includes free access to the full course video curriculum at Gracie University Online and training privileges at over 250 Gracie Certified Training Centers® worldwide.
We offer all new students a risk-free complimentary 10-calendar-day trial in any of our programs.
