Building a Better World through Jiu-Jitsu

While we strive to provide amazing Jiu-Jitsu training opportunities, we do not do this with an ultimate goal of only churning out International Jiu-Jitsu Champions. Instead, we focus on all of the things that are still necessary for helping build successful athletes because they are the same things that are invaluable for supporting the journeys of these students and athletes. We strive to fulfill the mission of Gracie Barra – Jiu-Jitsu for Everyone – and we need you and your dreams to do just that.

• Discipline
• Respect
• Personal Growth
• Inspiration
• Leadership
• Enjoyment
• Brotherhood
