The Fastest Way to Street Readiness. Guaranteed. ™

In the late 1920s Grand Master Helio Gracie created Gracie or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu after he realized that he was physically too frail to utilize the traditional Japanese techniques.  Proven over the last 80 years to be the most reliable system for a smaller person to defeat a larger, more athletic opponent, the techniques of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu are based on precise timing and effective use of leverage so that virtually anyone can do them, man or woman, regardless of their size or athletic ability. Although Gracie Jiu-Jitsu consists of over 600 techniques, studies of the fights conducted by members of the Gracie Family have shown that 36 techniques have been used more often and with greater success than all the other techniques combined (listed on the left).  Originally developed for the U.S. Army, Gracie Combatives is the only course that is entirely dedicated to the mastery of these 36 essential techniques. 

Step 1: Learn the Techniques
The 36 Gracie Combatives techniques have been strategically divided into 23 one-hour classes so that you can complete the course at your own pace.  No previous experience is necessary to participate in any of the 23 classes; as a result, you can complete them in any order.  Upon starting the course, you will be issued a Gracie Combatives Card on which all your progress will be tracked, and each month you will receive a Gracie Combatives Calendar that depicts which techniques will be taught on each day throughout the entire month. 

Step 2: Develop Your Reflexes
Once you complete each of the 23 Gracie Combatives classes two times, you will qualify to participate in the Reflex Development Classes.  In these lessons we use a revolutionary training process called Dynamic Reflex Development™ to build your reflexes in the execution of all 36 techniques in every possible combination. 

Step 3: Promotion to the next level
Once you complete each of the Gracie Combatives classes a third time, and you develop your reflexes in the execution of all 36 techniques individually and in every possible combination, you will qualify to be tested for promotion to the next level.
