The Gracie

Family Legacy.

The Gracie family revolutionized martial arts in the early 20th century by developing and refining Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu—a system that allows smaller individuals to effectively defend themselves against larger opponents through leverage, technique, and strategic thinking.

For over 100 years, the Gracie name has been synonymous with technical excellence, innovation, and the democratization of effective self-defense. At Gracie Lab Jiu-Jitsu, this legacy continues with authentic instruction directly from the source.

Our Philosophy:

The Lab Approach.

The "Lab" in our name reflects our commitment to continuous improvement and evidence-based training methods. While we honor the traditions that make Gracie Jiu-Jitsu so effective, we also embrace:

Scientific Principles

Incorporating modern understanding of biomechanics, learning psychology, and physical development into our teaching methods.

Technological Integration

Utilizing video analysis, performance tracking, and other tools to enhance the learning experience.

Constant Refinement

Regularly evaluating and improving our curriculum based on student outcomes and feedback.

Research-Based Innovation

Staying at the forefront of martial arts education through ongoing study and development.

Our Instructors.

Led by Igor Gracie, our teaching team consists of carefully selected instructors who embody both technical excellence and outstanding teaching ability. Each instructor undergoes rigorous training in not only Jiu-Jitsu techniques but also in effective teaching methodologies, child development (for youth instructors), and first aid/safety protocols.

Our instructor certification process ensures that every class at Gracie Lab Jiu-Jitsu delivers the perfect balance of technical precision, safety awareness, and engaging instruction.
