Jiu-jitsu University

Product Information

Even though many of the techniques taught in the Gracie curriculum could be applied in a sport BJJ encounter, Ryron and Rener make it very clear from the onset that their focus is to prepare the student for a fight. If a technique is designed for sport BJJ, or if there are certain limitations that would make a technique ineffective in a real fight, the brothers always make sure to issue a disclaimer in that particular lesson so the student knows what the limitations are. It’s fair to say that if your sole training objective is to prepare for sport BJJ competition, then Gracie University probably isn’t for you. CONCLUSION Problem Solving Principle: Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling art that puts you within very close range of your opponent. As a result, you must be constantly aware of your opponent’s ability to punch you. Here are some facts you must consider regarding punches: Rener, I just got the Gracie Combatives collection for myself and went to a Gracie Garage(Michael Forrest) for the first time. He is a great guy and represents the Gracie Family well.The reason I am sending this message is to tell you I took my son Levi with me to the GG training session. He is 5 and had just finished his 10th lesson in Gracie Games. After the class was over I asked him if he wanted to show the guys what he had learned in the Gracie Bullyproof program. Levi is usually shy in front of people he doesn't know. He said yes and showed them CRAZY HORSE,CRAZY LEGS,SPIDER KIDS,CROCODILE CONTROL and a few others. Most of the guys had never heard of the Bullyproof program and they were blown away how much he knew and how good he did for only having had 10 lessons. You guys do a great job Thanks! Problem Solving Principle: We have proven the effectiveness of every technique against larger opponents. Here are some facts regarding the use of the techniques against much larger adversaries: Confidence - Learning jitsu will build one's confidence and self-esteem, teaching you to keep a cool head and defuse aggressive situations you might encounter.

Some excellent concepts in here. I would say that the book format is not great for learning moves (instructionals probably work better) but the concepts discussed are interesting and it also forces you to visualise how a submission or pass works which I found beneficial. Most BJJ schools limit new students to one free trial class. We offer new students a 10-day free trial that includes unlimited access to all of our beginner group classes for a full 10 days. We’re confident that the curriculum, the camaraderie, and quality of the instruction will exceed all your expectations. If that’s not the case, just let us know, and we will never charge you for the classes you took. My friend and I started the lessons a couple of weeks ago and nedless to say we're hooked. We have some BJJ experince but never had the chance to experience such detailed instruction from anyone, it's like taking a private class indeed. Unfortunately there's nothing close to GJJ here in Puerto Rico, the schools are mostly sports or tournament oriented, I hope we can count with a Gracie Academy down here in the future. Today my 4 year old daughter and us "played" Jiu Jitsu for a bit and before putting her to sleep, out of the blue, she told me how much she enjoyed it. That really made my day. So "Thank You" for sharing your art, your passion and your lifestyle with the rest of us, it's really having a possitive impact in my life and familly. Hope to see you and train with you guys in the near future.” I love the Gracie Bullyproof program! I went over the Crazy Horse lessons with my daughter once, and since then she asks me every night to do Crazy Horse. It actually works!

Let me start by saying that I have received my DVD's and I love them. Some of the things that I like the most about your program are the Reflex Development Drills and Fight Simulation Drills, the details to all of your techniques, the indicators, and the outline that comes in the booklet. And the poster I got, which provides me with a visual image of the way all the techniques fit together, is very helpful! Great job guys! I look forward to learning your complete system.” The most common reason for difficulty with a technique is that you simply overlooked an essential detail. Watch the lesson one or two more times to ensure that you have learned every detail. I am working the crazy horse with my son.
