"At the heart of the Gracie Barra Family's extraordinary success over
the years is our strong philosophy and mission as a group, a foundation
which our masters laid many years ago, but is constantly being
reinforced by the great people that make our community. Jiu-Jitsu is a
beautiful art, and we have a vision of how it should be taught as a
means for individual development going beyond the competitive realm.
To achieve this vision, we must remember to come together as a family,
always putting the team in front of individual. For that, we will fight to
the end for what we believe is right".
~ Master Carlos Gracie Jr.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was first introduced in
the United States about twenty years ago,
and today it is the fastest growing Martial
Art in the US. It focuses on
ground-fighting, or grappling, techniques
and uses basic principles of leverage
which enable smaller practitioners to
control, defeat and escape from bigger
opponents. For these reasons, it is the
most applicable Martial Art for men
women and children seeking effective
self-defense training.
Because Master Carlos Gracie wants his students to be prepared
for any situation on the street, the curriculum includes “Self
Defense ” of BJJ techniques. By adapting the sport of BJJ to
address the street environment (i.e. multiple opponents, weapons,
no-gi, unorthodox attacks), students (among them police officers
and elite military personnel), are able to address real life and death
situations. Now we are located in Columbia South Caorlina so,
whether you’re looking for an intense workout, unrivaled self-
defense training, world-class competition, you’ll love our program.
