Gracie Burlington Jiu Jitsu

Gracie Burlington Jiu Jitsu’s class structure brings together traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, self-defense, and cross-training in striking and wrestling for all ages. The curriculum is rooted in Royce Gracie’s original system, with a clear path from fundamentals to more advanced training. Adult classes include both gi and no-gi fundamentals, open mats, and specialty sessions in striking and MMA. For younger students, the academy offers dedicated Kids Jiu Jitsu, Kids Wrestling, and Muay Thai classes, as well as a KinderGrappling program designed to introduce the basics in a safe, age-appropriate way. The school is led by head instructor Spenser Canup, who holds the distinction of being Royce Gracie’s 19th black belt. Spenser continues to train directly under Royce, keeping the instruction as close to the source as possible. The academy’s mission is built around faith, family, and fitness, with a focus on helping each student build confidence and real-world self-defense skills. Gracie Burlington has been part of the Alamance County area since 2018 and welcomes students of all backgrounds and experience levels. Beyond regular classes, the schedule includes open mats for adults, morning MMA, and HIIT functional fitness sessions. Drop-ins are welcome, and the facility is wheelchair accessible. Whether a student’s interest is in traditional gi jiu-jitsu, no-gi, wrestling, or striking, the academy provides a structured environment to learn and grow.
