Gracie Barra, established in 1986 by Carlos Gracie Jr., son of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu co-founder Carlos Gracie, is headquartered in Irvine, CA, and boasts a global network of over 800 schools.
The essence of Gracie Barra’s approach revolves around six key components: curriculum, prerequisites, classes, training methodologies, attendance, and the belt system. Their structured curriculum spans 16-week programs designed to impart knowledge systematically. Advancement within Gracie Barra occurs through three levels: GB1, GB2, and GB3. After four months, students reach GB2, delving into advanced jiu-jitsu techniques. Upon completing eight months of training, students progress to GB3, where expert-level jiu-jitsu techniques, as well as MMA skills, are introduced. Gracie Barra emphasizes a code of conduct and training etiquette as integral parts of its curriculum.
A prominent force in the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) competitions, Gracie Barra consistently leads in points, further solidifying its position as a premier institution in the realm of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
