What to expect at Gracie University of Jiu-Jitsu
The Gracie family of curricula is the source of modern BJJ. Expect a self-defense-aware fundamentals progression, structured technique blocks, and a heavier emphasis on positional survival than competition gyms apply.
Lineage: Carlos Gracie Sr. → Helio Gracie. Knowing the lineage matters more than people admit — it shapes how techniques get taught, which submissions get emphasized, and which competition rulesets the room respects.
