Programme

Gracie Barra has developed a programme that allows students to learn all techniques in a group class setting however with results comparable to those of private lessons.

Apart from the unparalleled structure and the organisation of the academic schedule, what makes the training programme of Gracie Barra unique is the way in which we present the techniques.

Refined by three generations, the teaching methods in all certified Gracie Barra training centres allows students to learn at their own pace without feeling overwhelmed or left behind.

In addition, we conduct all group lessons with the utmost concern for safety and we ask that all students treat each other with respect, regardless of the skill level, gender, race, nationality, or creed.

At Gracie Barra Academy we do not limit ourselves to teaching people how to fight, we instil self-confidence in people so that fighting as such will not become necessary.

The programmes are divided into: Fundamentals Programme, Advanced Programme, Black Belt, Self-defence for Women, Future Champions, Private Lessons.
