Integrated Combat Centre Competitors

To train body, mind and spirit through the highest level of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instruction as a vehicle for individual development and the strengthening of the family spirit, going beyond the ‘winning-losing’ or ‘contest’ philosophy. At Gracie Barra we strive to help students get the most out of their training. For students with consistency and dedication, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu becomes a life-style and students can readily enjoy all the benefits of the Jiu-Jitsu or the “Gentle Art”. Working from the assumption that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu must be embraced as a lifelong journey, Master Carlos Gracie Jr. has designed an effective learning plan or program of study that allows for students to naturally progress from the white belt to the black belt. Thus, classes and their respective curriculum at Gracie Barra are not isolated from one another, but elements of a larger structured learning plan called “Programs”.

Specialising in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, a martial art more commonly abbreviated to BJJ and was the forerunner to modern MMA, our instructors have more than a decade of experience with BJJ, MMA, and a range of other martial arts. We are focussed on providing a safe and friendly environment for training that provides high level skills without the ego. We cater to a wide range of skill levels and goals, and with an experienced head coach, are well suited for the brand new to the martial arts arena. We operate Monday to Saturday, with both Juniors and Seniors classes, and have By Appointment classes in the morning.
