Classes combine technical instruction, partner drills, positional training and live sparring. You’ll work on timing, control and decision-making while identifying areas to develop in your own game. You don’t have to compete to benefit. Whether you want to improve your regular training or prepare for competition, our coaches will help you train with purpose.

Find Your Next Training Challenge

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.

I always wanted to try BJJ, and with Gracie Barra opening nearby, I finally did! The team is so welcoming—my first 3 sessions were great. I also signed up my 3-year-old son, and he loves the kids classes. Excited for this journey!
