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.
