Gracie Combatives

For over 80 years GJJ proves to be a battle system where a little man can defeat a bigger and more athletic opponent. Applications of GJJ are based on precise calculation of leverage that in reality can be executed by any man or woman, regardless of their age and athletic level.

Although GJJ consists of more than 600 techniques, students mastering the martial aspect, the family of Gracie show 36 techniques that are most often used in a fight with more success than all other combinations.

This technique was successfully adopted in service with the U.S. Army.

Step 1. Study of Technique.

We study every technique of 36 receptions first as the overall plan, and then divide it into parts/layers, into the possible errors and bringing more details with every layer in the performance of technique. And this strategy goes for each technique.

Step 2.Development of reflexes.

Implementation of all these techniques in a free fight, while combining them in different ways with varying intensity.

Step 3.Submission for a blue belt.

We study the technique in the following positions:

- Standup

- Mount

- Side Mount

- Guard

The complete system consists of four GJJ belts colors: blue, purple, brown, black.

Within each belt there is a degree of four or more sub-levels. Moving from zone to zone, from one skill level to a higher depends on the individual characteristics of each student, as well as there are time limits.

Master Cycle

After 36 techniques that make up the rank of blue belt, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu consists of thousands of advanced techniques, which are systematized in a course called Master Cycle (Master cycle).

Technique Master Cycle divided into chapters on the following positions: Mount, Side-Mount, Guard, Half-Guard, Back Mount, Leg Locks, and Stands.

Gracie Combatives course provides students with a full understanding of the necessary principles and techniques of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. The purpose of Master Cycle is a more in-depth study of the principles and techniques of each position. The process of improving the technology in each position moves you to a black belt.
