Professor Rodrigo
Gracie Barra Riverton will open its door very soon. The aim is to bring the best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes to Riverton and surrounding areas, such as Herriman, Daybreak, South Jordan, Bluffdale, Draper, and surrounding areas, enhancing their health with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, which is the best martial arts for self-defense available nearby.
"I can't wait to share my passion for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with all of Utah!"
Professor Andrea
The very first 50 students who signed up for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes at Gracie Barra Riverton will receive the title of Red Shield Founders and enjoy some special benefits. From the beginning, the school will offer Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes for kids and adults, followed by women’s only BJJ and self-defense classes.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is by far the best martial art for self defense purposes. Based on leverage, Jiu-Jitsu teaches grappling techniques to obtain control over an opponent or aggressor. The “Gentle Art” focuses on immobilizing and applying submissions by attacking the joints and neck.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches a wide variety of techniques. Often compared to a game of human chess, BJJ will require you to utilize your entire body as well as your mind to gain dominance over your training partners. No matter your level there, is always something new to learn. It is a sport that pushes creativity and strategy.
Jiu-Jitsu practitioners are known to seek healthy habits. Everything, from diet to activity level will see improvement once you begin your jiu-jitsu journey. Everything done off the mat affects performance on the mat, and successful students naturally gravitate toward a healthier way of life.
Also, brotherhood is a Gracie Barra core value. You will join a community of like-minded individuals who uplift and push you to be better. Friends made on the mat lead to great friends off the mat, too.
We are not a fight club. We are a school that seeks to offer the best jiu jitsu in Utah, in order to provide an amazing experience for our members.

Professor Rodrigo isn’t just a teacher, he’s a passionate advocate for the Gracie Barra philosophy: “Jiu-Jitsu for Everyone.” He builds confidence and community on the mats, helping students of all levels reach their full potential.
