Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Classes in Newmarket

Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu curriculum is rooted in the Gracie Humaita lineage, one of the most technically rigorous BJJ traditions in the world. Training covers position, control, escapes, submissions and live resistance: guard, mount, side control and back control; escapes, sweeps and reversals; chokes, arm locks and leg locks; takedowns and takedown defense; and live rolling with control and intent. Any size, any fitness level, leverage is the equalizer. Competition is optional.
