A Gift from the Gracie Family to the World: Jiu-Jitsu as We Know It

The roots of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are grounded in family, creativity, and transformation. It all started with Carlos Gracie, who studied Jiu-Jitsu from the Japanese master Mitsuyo Maeda. Carlos and his brothers customized the techniques to match their own strengths, focusing on strategy, leverage, and submissions to overcome size and power. What they built became the foundation of Gracie Jiu-Jits, a style that reshaped self-defense and helped people of all body types feel confident and capable. Today, at Gracie Barra Riverton, we carry on that tradition by sharing this powerful martial art with our local community. Come see how Jiu-Jitsu can transform your life, too.

Gracie Barra's Philosophy

At Gracie Barra, we embrace the philosophy of “Jiu-Jitsu for everyone”, so from beginners to advanced practitioners, our goal is to make Jiu-Jitsu a transformative experience for everyone. Master Carlos Gracie Jr.’s vision extends beyond the confines of a martial art; it’s a lifestyle.
