The Gracie Combatives® program utilizes leverage-based techniques, so anyone, regardless of age or athletic ability, can make them work against larger, stronger opponents.
In this seminar, you'll learn a few foundational techniques that allow you to neutralize specific threats from a larger, more aggressive attacker.
Anyone, ages 12 and up, who wants to learn realistic and practical self defense. No experience or prior knowledge is necessary!
WHAT WE'RE ALL ABOUT
Beginner Friendly
We want to make sure your first time on the mat is not your last! So we're serious about creating a learning environment that is safe, structured, and fun!
Many jiu-jitsu schools have a sink or swim mentality. We believe in creating a culture of cooperation, so you can learn without the fear of injury or embarrassment.
Real-Life Self-Defense
We don't focus solely on punches and kicks to get you out of a tough situation. Instead, we use time-tested techniques that emphasize leverage and timing.
