Gracie Jiu Jitsu Davis

Gracie Jiu Jitsu Davis operates as the only Gracie Certified Training Center in Davis, California, offering instruction in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu directly following the curriculum developed by the Gracie family. All instructors at this academy have completed extensive training under the direct supervision of the Gracie family and Gracie University Headquarters in Torrance, ensuring that students learn within the same structured, safety-first system practiced worldwide. The academy is rooted in the original self-defense ethos of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, focusing on practical effectiveness for real-world situations rather than solely on sport competition. The class structure at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Davis is highly organized and progression-based. Adult beginners start in Gracie Combatives, a curriculum designed to teach foundational techniques in a fully cooperative environment, without competitive sparring until students advance. For those ready to go further, the Master Cycle and Reflex Development classes introduce advanced gi techniques and live training. The school offers a full suite of youth programs, including Gracie Bullyproof, which is split into Mat Munchkins, Little Champs (ages 5-7), Jr. Grapplers (ages 8-12), and the Black Belt Club for advanced kids. Women Empowered Jiu-Jitsu provides a dedicated path for adult women, while kickboxing and MMA classes round out the striking and mixed martial arts options for adults. Students benefit from a structured attendance and advancement tracking system, as well as full access to Gracie University’s online curriculum for supplemental study. Membership at the Davis location also grants the ability to train at any other Gracie Certified Training Center worldwide. The gym is wheelchair accessible and welcomes both drop-ins and new students, reflecting its commitment to making structured, lineage-based Gracie Jiu-Jitsu accessible in Davis.
