Programs
GBK – Kids Program
Our GBK (Gracie Barra Kids) Program introduces children to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a fun, safe, and age-appropriate environment. Through our structured curriculum, students build confidence, discipline, focus, and respect — both on and off the mats. Classes are available for children ages 3 and up and focus on practical self-defense, takedowns, and foundational ground techniques, all taught in a supportive and encouraging setting. All instructors are Gracie Barra certified and complete extensive training, including first aid certification and background checks, ensuring a safe and professional learning environment for every child.
Women’s Self Defense
Seasonal 4-week course designed to empower women with practical, real-world self-defense skills in a safe and supportive environment. The program focuses on building awareness, confidence, and the ability to respond effectively to common threatening situations using proven techniques adapted from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Offered once per quarter rather than as an ongoing class, it provides a focused and progressive learning experience—perfect for beginners or anyone looking to gain essential skills, boost confidence, and take a proactive step toward personal safety.

GB2 – Advanced Jiu-Jitsu
The GB2 Program builds on fundamentals with advanced techniques, complex drills, No-Gi training and live sessions – preparing students for GB3. Eligibility requires at least 3 stripes on a white belt, which requires a minimum of 4 months of training.
GB3 – Expert Jiu-Jitsu
The GB3 Program is the ultimate level of training at a GB school and challenges students, increasing the complexity of the drills, and the intensity of the training session. It is open to blue belts and above.
GB1 – Jiu-Jitsu Fundamentals
The GB1 Program is the foundation of Jiu-Jitsu at Gracie Barra. Originally called the “Fundamental Program,” it offers structured training in self-defence, core techniques, and the philosophy of Gracie Barra. Designed for beginners, GB1 builds strong technical skills and prepares students for progression to advanced levels.
