GRACIE FUNDAMENTALS​

​

The Gracie Fundamentals program blends the core principles of sport Jiu-Jitsu with real-world self-defense, offering students a well-rounded foundation in both aspects of the art. Whether you're training for competition, self-protection, or personal growth, this program provides the perfect balance of technical skill and practical application.

Designed for all experience levels, this class is especially beneficial for students with prior grappling or wrestling backgrounds who are looking to refine their technique and transition into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The curriculum covers essential positions, transitions, submissions, escapes, and defensive strategies with an emphasis on proper mechanics and timing.

​

Each session includes structured technique drills and live sparring (rolling), allowing students to apply what they’ve learned in a controlled, progressive environment. The Fundamentals program helps students develop confidence, endurance, and a deeper understanding of Jiu-Jitsu, both on the mat and in everyday life.
