Gracie BullyProof®

Every month in the United States, three million children miss school due to fear of bullies. In the Gracie Bullyproof program, our goal is to instill in your child unshakable confidence so they can overcome bullies without violence. The curriculum combines strategies for effectively setting boundaries, verbal de-escalation, and how to protect themselves without needing punches or kicks.

Due to the non-violent nature of the techniques ABC, NBC, and Oprah have featured the Gracie Bullyproof program as one of the few effective counter-measures to bullying for children between the ages of 5 and 13. Click Here to learn more. .

The Master Cycle®

The Master Cycle’s unique structure simplifies the journey to black belt by organizing all of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu into seven positional chapters (Mount, Side Mount, Guard, Half Guard, Back Mount, Leg Locks, Standing), each of which is studied for several months before moving on to the next chapter. Click Here to learn more. .
