Old School Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Old School Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Jacksonville, FL, was founded on the philosophy of preserving and passing on traditional Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, with a direct lineage to Master Luiz Palhares and Rickson Gracie. Since opening its doors in 2007, the academy has focused on the fundamentals and self-defense roots that define classic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, keeping the art close to its original intent while adapting to the needs of modern students. Training at Old School BJJ balances both gi and no-gi instruction for adults, with classes offered morning, noon, and evening six days a week. The structured schedule allows students to build a strong foundation in the gi, while also developing their skills in no-gi formats.

Regular open mat sessions in the gi provide a chance for students to apply techniques and train at their own pace. The academy welcomes adults of all backgrounds, and drop-ins are accepted for every class format. With wheelchair accessibility and a consistent, fundamentals-driven approach, Old School BJJ has established itself as a place for students to learn authentic Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in Jacksonville.
