Gracie Jiu-Jitsu has more than 2,000 techniques. Our programmes put them in the right order, for the right person, at the right time.
Adults
Street readiness in 23 lessons. The 40 most important techniques in all of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, divided into 23 one-hour lessons you can take in any order. No experience needed, no competitive sparring. Complete it and test for your Fundamentals Belt.
25 classes to Blue Belt. After the Fundamentals you know how to beat a bigger, stronger, unskilled attacker. Intermediate teaches you to progress against an opponent who also knows Jiu-Jitsu: 12 Gi and 13 No-Gi classes, sparring included, leading to your full Blue Belt.
Seven chapters to Black Belt. Hundreds of advanced techniques organised into seven positional chapters - Mount, Side Mount, Guard, Half Guard, Back Mount, Leg Locks and Standing - each studied for several months. Focus sparring at the end of every class, always voluntary and always safe.
Front, rear and weapon attacks. The standing self-defence requirements for Blue, Purple, Brown and Black Belt: grabs, chokes, headlocks, bear hugs, sucker punches, knife, stick and gun defences, and the fight philosophy behind every weapon defence.
Children
Give your child the gift of confidence. Verbal assertiveness to deter bullies and non-violent, leverage-based techniques to stay safe if attacked - no punching or kicking. Four programmes separated by age AND experience: Tiny Titans, Little Grapplers, Junior Grapplers and the invitation-only Black Belt Club.
Women
Neutralise the 20 most common attacks. A women-only, 10-lesson programme teaching you to escape the most common attacks a woman faces, from a hair grab to being pinned to the ground, using leverage, technique and timing rather than strength. Complete it and test for your pink belt.
Six two-month chapters that teach children responsibility, health, respect, citizenship, manners and caring, with Gracie Game Day as the reward. How it works.
Stranger awareness for children, included in every Little Grapplers and Junior Grapplers class. Read more.
