The Gracie family, modified judo and traditional Japanese jujutsu to create the art we now know as Brazilian Jui-Jitsu (BJJ). BJJ is a martial art, combat sport, and a self defense system that focuses primarily on grappling and ground fighting. It contains stand-up maneuvers, but it is most famous for its devastating ground-fighting and defensive techniques.
Since 1925, over 40 members of the Gracie Family have dedicated their lives to developing the most effective system of self-defense the world has ever known. With large and clean facilities, expert black belt instructors under Master Royler Gracie, the Gracie Bolton Jiu-Jitsu Academy is a proud member of a global organization which stands alone in its ability to empower anyone regardless of age, gender, or athletic ability, through proven and effective martial arts instruction.
