WHAT IS GRACIE BARRA BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU?

The benefits of Gracie Barra BJJ are far-reaching and will touch every aspect of your life. The practice of martial arts nurtures your independent thinking, supports your fighting spirit, and helps you achieve your personal BJJ goals. Through GB BJJ, you will begin to understand yourself, on and off the mats, in ways you never imagined. You will test your limits and become the best you can be. GB respects that each student has their own goals and we support you in reaching them.

The more you train jiu-jitsu, the better you will become and the more completely you will reach your true potential in life. GB BJJ is for anyone who wants to learn how to defend him or herself in combat. What most people don't know, is that Jiu-Jitsu will also allow you to apply those same principles when fighting the daily battles of life; like weight loss, boredom, stress, relationship issues, and self-confidence. You will learn how to think through problems more constructively than before, on and off the mats.

At GB Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, you are a part of an extended family. You will join a team that will support you in your quest for self-improvement. Training the techniques and participating in live training sessions, with your partners and coaches, will give you an arsenal of weapons at your disposal whenever you should need them. The more you train jiu-jitsu, the more you will arm yourself with knowledge and skills to fight all your battles in life like a black belt.

My life is dedicated to Jiu-Jitsu. My goal was simply to build a brotherhood to lead the expansion of BJJ while respecting the essence of our art. My students are an extension of my family. I want each one of them to achieve their personal best while helping spread Jiu-Jitsu. We must do that honoring the traditions and efforts of those who came before us.
