Since 1989, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy has been helping students gain confidence and learn discipline through jiu-jitsu techniques. Established by Rorion Gracie, the facility features granite showers and bamboo floors in an effort to provide an authentic experience. But it's not just the amenities that are authentic: certified instructors teach both small group classes and private training sessions to students of all ages and all skill levels in a variety of combative jiu-jitsu techniques. Gracie Bullyproof, for instance, is a confidence and character development program aimed at children to help them effectively counteract bullying.
