Advanced Jiu-Jitsu

Take your training to the next level with advanced techniques, live sparring, and the introduction of No-Gi.

Ready for the Next Level? GB2 Starts Here.

The GB2 Program is designed for students who have built a strong foundation through GB1 and are ready to deepen their skills and push their training further.

With a focus on more advanced techniques, strategic drilling, positional awareness, and live sparring, GB2 offers a more intense and challenging experience – while still maintaining the structure and support Gracie Barra is known for.

This is also where students begin No-Gi training, expanding their understanding of Jiu-Jitsu by adapting techniques without the traditional uniform. No-Gi sessions help improve speed, agility, and grip control, preparing students for a broader range of competition and real-life scenarios.

Eligibility: Students must have at least 3 stripes on a white belt, typically earned after a minimum of 4 months of consistent training.

What to Bring to Your Class

Water Bottle

Staying hydrated is essential. Bring a water bottle to keep refreshed throughout your training.

Official GB Uniform

Wearing the official Gracie Barra Gi or No-Gi uniform reflects our team identity and maintains the high standards of our school.

Slip-on Shoes

Wear flip-flops or sandals to make it easy to step on and off the mat while keeping the training area clean.

Mouthguard (recommended)

While not mandatory, a mouthguard is strongly recommended for advanced classes involving live drills or sparring to protect your teeth and enhance safety.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve had the most Exceptional experience here. Our Daughter was very unsure about starting bjj, and after attending her first class she’s a different person and can’t get enough. We’ve been made to feel so welcome and love attending.

We especially love professor Marcson ♥️ He is just incredible with kids.

Thank you!

FAQ's

Who is eligible for GB2 classes?

White belts with 3 stripes and above and all colored belts.

Is live sparring included in GB2?

Yes. Sparring is an essential part of GB2, but partners are always matched based on experience to ensure safety and steady progress.

What is No-Gi training, and why is it important?

No-Gi training is Jiu-Jitsu practiced without the traditional Gi (kimono). It sharpens your technique, enhances athleticism, and prepares you for competition or self-defence in real-world situations.
