Advanced Jiu-Jitsu

Take your training to the next level with advanced techniques, live sparring, and the introduction of No-Gi.

Ready for the Next Level? GB2 Starts Here.

The GB2 Program is designed for students who have built a strong foundation through GB1 and are ready to deepen their skills and push their training further.

With a focus on more advanced techniques, strategic drilling, positional awareness, and live sparring, GB2 offers a more intense and challenging experience - while still maintaining the structure and support Gracie Barra is known for.

This is also where students begin No-Gi training, expanding their understanding of Jiu-Jitsu by adapting techniques without the traditional uniform. No-Gi sessions help improve speed, agility, and grip control, preparing students for a broader range of competition and real-life scenarios.

Eligibility: Students must have at least 3 stripes on a white belt, typically earned after a minimum of 4 months of consistent training.

GB Blacktown is perfect for all ages! My daughter loved it, so my son and I joined too. Two years later, we’re still training. Great culture, supportive coaches—only regret is not starting sooner!

Ivan Reyes
We absolutely love Gracie Barra Blacktown! My 4 year old looks forward to every single class and has so much fun while learning. The coaches are amazing with the kids, patient, and really know how to bring out the best in them. The community here is so welcoming, supportive, and family oriented, it really feels like being part of one big family. It’s such a positive environment and the perfect place for our boy to use up his energy in a healthy, structured, and rewarding way. We’ve seen his confidence grow so much since starting. We couldn’t recommend Gracie Barra Blacktown enough for any families looking to get their kids into jiu-jitsu!

I attend the women’s only classes at Gracie Barra Blacktown and have learnt so much, I have developed a different kind of mental strength and discipline. The professors are all so kind, welcoming and create a safe space for everyone. Professor Sheryll and Coach Maiah always are so supportive throughout the women’s classes. As a woman constantly looking to grow, choosing to do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was one of the best choices I’ve made. I have been able to meet so many likeminded people and feel very lucky to be a part of this community. I recommend their classes for women looking to build confidence and discipline.

I would like to thank Professor David for his clear, comforting, and family-like conversation during my very first call to Gracie Barra Blacktown. That call alone made me choose this centre over others in the area. Our journey began when my elder son, who is now in Year 3, was being bullied back in early days in school. I felt that learning martial arts would help him gain confidence and learn how to stand up for himself in a positive way. After reaching out to several martial arts schools, I ended up enrolling him at Gracie Barra Blacktown City and I’m so glad I did. Since joining, my son has become more confident, more open, and genuinely enjoys being part of this warm, supportive community. Huge thanks to Professor David and his amazing family team who go above and beyond to create a family-friendly and community-focused environment. A special shout out to Professor ICY as well — your dedication and the way you push the students to be their best is amazing. The collaboration between the team truly makes this campus stand out. Best wishes to the entire Gracie Barra Blacktown family. We’re excited for our younger one to start his Jujutsu journey soon too!
