Got questions about starting Gracie Combatives or what to expect in class? You’re not alone — here are answers to the most common questions from new students and first-time visitors.
Gracie Combatives is our beginner jiu-jitsu program, created for adults of any age or fitness level—no experience needed. You’ll master 36 essential techniques that cover 99% of common street altercations and form the backbone of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, giving you real-world self-defense skills, rock-solid fundamentals, and the confidence to handle yourself in any situation.
No prior fitness or athletic background is required! Our Brazilian jiu-jitsu classes are designed to help you gradually build strength, endurance, and flexibility — you’ll progress at your own pace with supportive instructors.
Most students complete the Gracie Combatives curriculum in 6–12 months, depending on individual attendance and learning speed. You’ll receive your first belt promotion when you demonstrate proficiency in the 36 core techniques.
In Gracie Combatives, we take a thoughtful approach to sparring—because safety and long-term growth matter. Before jumping into live sparring (or “rolling”), we help you build a solid foundation in positions, submissions, escapes, and control—so you can stay calm under pressure, avoid injury, and recognize danger before it escalates.
That said, sparring isn’t far off. Most students begin controlled, supervised sparring within 4 to 8 months, depending on consistency and progress. Our goal is to make sure you can train safely—for yourself and your partners—and enjoy Jiu-Jitsu for the rest of your life.
For your first class, you can arrive in comfortable athletic clothing. As part of your trial membership, you’ll receive an official Gracie Jiu-Jitsu uniform (gi) so you can train in comfort and consistency with the rest of the class.
