Gracie University® has beginner to advanced jiu-jitsu classes in Torrance for men, women, and children.
Who we Are And why You Should Train Here
At Gracie University, we believe Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is for EVERYONE, regardless of age, gender, athleticism, or ability. We are proud to say we are continuing the legacy of Grandmaster Hélio Gracie who believed jiu-jitsu should empower the weak to be able to defend against the strong. This is why we offer structured martial arts curriculums specific to the self-defense needs for any demographic or skill level, with programs created for beginner adults, women, and children.
We take pride in creating a safe, comfortable, and welcoming learning environment for all students and family members in Torrance. We are passionate about what we do because, simply put, we believe confident humans make kinder humans.
