Gracie BJJ Decatur

Gracie BJJ Decatur was founded by Jason Brock, whose own martial arts journey began in childhood with boxing and wrestling before discovering the efficiency of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Inspired to open the academy after enrolling his son and experiencing the structured, self-defense-oriented Gracie curriculum, Jason set out to share these teachings in Decatur. He is a Certified Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Instructor and Certified Pedro Sauer Instructor, carrying forward a lineage rooted in the traditional Gracie system and emphasizing technique over strength. The academy offers a full slate of Gracie University programs, including Gracie Combatives for adults, the Bullyproof system for children, Women Empowered self-defense, and more advanced training through the Master Cycle. Children’s classes are carefully divided by age, with Mat Munchkins (ages 3–5), Little Champs (5–7), and Junior Grapplers (8–12), ensuring instruction fits developmental stages. Adults follow a structured progression, starting with foundational Combatives classes, then moving into advanced material in the Master Cycle. The academy also runs open mat sessions for enrolled students to practice and refine their skills. Instruction at Gracie Decatur comes from a team with decades of experience across martial arts and professional backgrounds. Jason Brock leads alongside Alora Brock, a certified instructor in multiple Gracie programs, and a roster that includes black belt William Hill Jr., longtime competitor and coach Ray Robles, and several instructors who began as students at the academy. Their collective focus is on practical self-defense, structured learning, and building lifelong skills on and off the mat.
