The next level

Build your game flow

While GB1 focuses on the building blocks and basic principles of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the GB2 Program is advanced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, built on high-level techniques and drills. These advanced practices shape your game flow by improving reflexes, speed and reaction time, so you move smoothly from one technique to the next.

Gracie Barra's systematic curriculum ensures a complete understanding of Jiu-Jitsu. In GB2 you work on more complex submissions, sweeps and transitions, and test them in positional sparring.

After a few months in GB2, students usually feel more connected to the Gracie Barra philosophy, build a stronger bond with their training partners and develop the discipline and healthy habits that keep them in good shape.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gracie Barra has truly been a game changer for me. From day one, the staff was incredibly welcoming, and Coach Alexia played a huge role in my decision to join. She shared how Jiu-Jitsu transformed her own life and what it continues to do for others.

I was immediately hooked. Now, I’m starting to train over six times a week. The gym is always clean, organized, and filled with a positive, respectful atmosphere. Since joining, my stress levels have dropped, and I’ve grown so much, physically and mentally. I’m excited to continue this journey and see where it takes me! I recommend this facility and adults program to anyone.
