What is Gracie Jiu Jitsu?
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art and self-defense system developed by the Gracie family in Brazil. It emphasizes ground fighting techniques, with a focus on leverage and technique over brute strength. This style of jiu-jitsu allows smaller, weaker individuals to defend themselves against larger opponents by using techniques like joint locks, chokes, and positional control.
The Gracie family played a crucial role in popularizing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) worldwide, particularly through the introduction of the sport in mixed martial arts (MMA). Gracie Jiu-Jitsu often includes a strong focus on self-defense principles, making it distinct from other forms of BJJ that may prioritize sport competition. The philosophy emphasizes respect, discipline, and personal development, aiming to empower practitioners both physically and mentally.

“Wonderful family feeling environment! The instructor is a kind caring individual full of knowledge, and the passion to teach!
I was a little nervous going to my first class having zero previous martial arts experience. Quickly after walking in that feeling of nervousness disappeared. Now I look forward to every class, and Origins Combatives feels like a second home.”
