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.

Started our Kids here in 2024, after 6 months of watching them train I joined myself. Highly recommend to anyone, any age or fitness level.

I started training here right from the opening of the gym, and it’s been without a doubt one of the best decisions I’ve made — not just for my fitness, but for my mental resilience as well. The environment, coaching, and culture push you to be better every session, while still making it a place you genuinely enjoy showing up to. It’s had a huge impact on my confidence, discipline, and overall mindset. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough to anyone thinking about starting.

I can't rate this place highly enough! Definelty didn't feel out of place walking in the doors for the first trial and becoming a member as soon as I stepped off the mats. It felt like I'd known Prof. Flex my whole life he was that welcoming. The leadership and guidance offered to all members at every level is amazing. Great mix of people here and has a real sense of family. If you're looking to test yourself or just missing something in life, this could be it. I have learnt an immense amount about myself and what really matters in life, from the physical and mental wellbeing benefits I can say it will sharpen you, de-stress and humble you all at the same time, whilst teaching you discipline,control and focus under pressure. Get the whole family involved and grow together.. You wont find better people than prof Flex & Loz
