Streamlined technique that can only come from training with the best in the world. Five minutes in this school and you will know you’re in a true Gracie Jiu-Jitsu academy learning technique and skill that will be recognized anywhere in the world. Anyone looking to learn a REAL defensive and (in a sports setting) offensive art should give this place a try. (If you’re new to Jiu-Jitsu don’t be fooled by the (Seemingly) simple positioning techniques you’ll learn in your first several classes. Remember, even the strongest fortresses on Earth must have a solid foundation. As I like to say: ‘No position: No Submission’).
