Gracie Fighter Jiu-Jitsu Vacaville

Gracie Fighter Jiu Jitsu Vacaville was founded in 2021 by Andre Carson, a 1st degree black belt who built the program under the guidance of Cesar Gracie. The academy follows Cesar’s approach to teaching: break down techniques so students can truly understand and apply them, whether they’re preparing for competition, working on self-defense, or just looking to get better on the mats. The school’s roots are firmly in the Gracie lineage, and Cesar’s influence is felt in the way classes are structured and taught. Training at Gracie Fighter Vacaville includes a mix of gi and no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for both adults and kids. Classes are organized to give beginners a strong foundation, while more advanced students are pushed to refine their skills for both sport and self-defense. Kids can start as young as four, and there’s a focus on building confidence and discipline alongside technique. For those interested in wrestling and judo, the academy offers dedicated sessions to sharpen takedowns, throws, and mat control—skills that blend naturally with BJJ. There’s also a women’s only class, led by a female instructor, which gives women a focused space to train. The academy keeps the schedule practical and flexible, with open mat times on Saturdays and additional open mat sessions for women. Private lessons are available for students who want to work one-on-one. Gracie Fighter Vacaville also offers defensive tactics for military and law enforcement professionals. The school welcomes drop-ins and is wheelchair accessible, making it easy for visitors and locals alike to get in quality training.
