Gracie Humaita Temecula Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Gracie Humaita Temecula Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has anchored itself in Murrieta since 2003, led by Professor Ricardo Guimarães, a 5th-degree black belt under Master Royler Gracie. Professor Guimarães brings more than twenty years of teaching and competition experience to the academy, with a decorated career that includes five world titles, two world no-gi championships, and a long list of Pan-American, European, and national gold medals. He is known not only for his technical depth and competition success, but also for having promoted over 45 students to black belt, staying true to the Gracie Humaitá tradition of technical precision and personal development. The academy’s class structure reflects its commitment to fundamentals and progression for all ages. Adults can start their day with the Breakfast Club—a morning gi class—before moving into midday and evening fundamentals sessions led by Professor Guimarães himself. The curriculum builds from foundational techniques to more advanced applications, with both gi and no-gi options available for adults. For younger students, Gracie Humaita Temecula divides its youth program into Kids (ages 5–7) and Juniors (ages 8–13), offering age-appropriate instruction in both gi and no-gi formats. Juniors also have dedicated no-gi classes, supporting those interested in both traditional and modern approaches to BJJ. Drop-ins are welcome, and the academy is recognized for its structured programs and long-standing presence in the community. With a focus on technical growth, discipline, and self-defense, Professor Guimarães and his team continue to mentor students at every level, from first-time beginners to seasoned competitors.
