OUR HISTORY
First in line, Mitsuyo Maeda, the Japanese with unparalleled skill, brought the gentle art to Brazil. Next, Carlos Gracie Sr., Maeda’s first student and the first Gracie to ever learn Jiu-Jitsu. Third, Hélio Gracie, Carlos’ brother and the best Gracie fighter of his time. Fourth, Rolls Gracie, is a true jiu-jitsu innovator and champion of Brazilian jiu jitsu philosophy. And finally, Carlos Gracie, Jr., the founder of Gracie Barra and the visionary of the JIU-JITSU FOR EVERYONE® project. It's our tradition of recollecting the lives of great Masters and practitioners, both as a mark of gratitude and appreciation and as a source of inspiration from which we may still learn.
Don't miss this opportunity to explore the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Gracie Barra. We welcome you to join us for a complimentary trial class to experience the magic of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu firsthand. Regardless of your age, fitness level, or previous experience, we are confident you'll find your place in our close-knit community.

Gracie Barra is a good place to learn the fundamental techniques of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and train. Everyone here is friendly and quick to help regardless of athletic ability or age. They live up to their slogan of “Jiu-jitsu for everyone”, you can tell it is built into their culture. Try a free class and see for yourself.
Jamie Delacruz
I can’t recommend Gracie Barra enough! The staff is stellar. Not only do they teach self defense techniques and jiu jitsu, but they also teach skills that are integral in character development. They are consistent in their student expectations as well as their instruction methods.
