OUR CLASSES
jiu jitsu
Gracie Jiu Jitsu is one of the most effective, reality-based fighting systems in the world. Created by the Gracie Family, the basic premise of Jiu-Jitsu is that 90% of fights end up on the ground. As such, Jiu-Jitsu is focused primarily on effective ground fighting. The goal is to put an opponent into situations on the ground where joint locks and/or chokes can be applied to force him/her to submit.
no gi
Jiu Jitsu – NO GI is the ground-fighting martial art focused on joint locks, chokes, and positions. It is the science of using leverage, human body mechanics, balance, and technique to create favourable situations against a live opponent. It is the practical approach to the MMA ground game.
kids
History has shown that martial arts can be an excellent teacher for children to learn life skills such as discipline, mental strength, focus, hard work, integrity, confidence, teamwork, and more. Ultimately, martial arts are about continuous self-improvement physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Of course, the goal is also to bully-proof your child against bullies. The scars of bullying can last a lifetime and can destroy self-esteem and confidence.
kickboxing
Kickboxing is a stand-up combat sport that is based only in striking. The kickboxing classes at Roger Gracie Academy are a fusion of techniques from various striking disciplines such as Boxing, Karate and Muay Thai.
Learn how and when to use strikes, defences, counters and set-ups in the evolving sport of striking. Kickboxing can be implemented in self-defence, competition and general fitness.
