A Comprehensive
Jiu-Jitsu Roadmap

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can be very confusing and overwhelming, especially at the advanced level. In our Master Cycle Advanced Jiu-Jitsu Classes, we’ve taken over 600 techniques and divided them into 7 Positional Chapters so you can learn in a highly-structured and easy-to-follow format, and it’s located right here in Altamonte Springs!

Leave your ego at the door

Too often advanced jiu-jitsu instruction is approached with a sink-or-swim attitude that leads many students to quit due to loss of interest, embarrassment, or injury.

We prioritize the safety of our students, so you can enjoy learning and exploring the art of jiu-jitsu in a cooperative and ego-free environment.

Join the family, live the lifestyle

Beyond the self-defense, our advanced jiu-jitsu program offers both physical and mental health benefits. There are few workouts as challenging, fun and mentally stimulating as our Master Cycle classes.

Our [Altamonte Springs] students start coming for the jiu-jitsu, but stay for the life-long health benefits of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.

Master Cycle provides a structured path from blue to black belt

Beyond Gracie Combatives®, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) consists of hundreds of advanced techniques organized into a clearly defined, systematic curriculum called the Master Cycle.

format_quote 5 / 5 Stars Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Altamonte Springs is an AMAZING school. What brought us in was the Bullyproof program for our 3 kids, but we have expanded since then. Over 2 years later, we have the entire family enrolled. My wife LOVES the Women Empowerment classes, and as a 20-year BJJ practitioner and enthusiast, I am excited about the return to self-defense focused training. The coaches and staff are friendly, courteous, and always filled with positive energy. They are not only knowledgeable about the systematic training methods, but also well versed in how to connect with students of all ages in a way that promotes safety, progress, and collaboration. There are not enough words to express our appreciation for this school. I can only hope that you can experience it for yourself and begin your own journey.

format_quote 5 / 5 Stars Being new to jiu jitsu, everything seemed very daunting. But the organization of this system made it easy for my wife and I to start feeling confident on the mat. Even when we are learning new material we know that Coach Henry isn't afraid to stop and help whenever something isn't clicking. Its also super helpful that all the classes are available to watch online, you can review, or you can do like my wife does, and watch the videos before class to help reduce any stress about having to do brand new stuff.

format_quote 5 / 5 Stars I've had an incredible experience so far at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Altamonte Springs! Coach Henry and Coach Berto are both extremely knowledgeable and do a fantastic job of breaking things down in a way that makes learning Jiu-Jitsu feel approachable and effective. The Gracie Combatives program is proven and well-structured, making it easy to pick up techniques without feeling overwhelmed or thrown into the deep end. This is something I unfortunately experienced at other local gyms. Here, there's a real focus on understanding the fundamentals and building confidence at your own pace.

The Gracie Difference

Building a Strong Foundation for a Lifelong Journey

1.Systematic Instruction

We’ve organized all of BJJ into seven positional chapters – Mount, Side Mount, Guard, Half Guard, Back Mount, Leg Locks, Standing – each of which is studied in-depth, for several months before moving on to the next chapter. 

2. "Punch-Safe" Techniques

Master Cycle explores a wide variety of sport and self-defense techniques with an emphasis on learning “punch-safe” techniques that will help you stay safe in a street altercation.

3. Focused Sparring

Master Cycle includes variety of controlled training exercises, such as Rapid Mastery Drills, Focus Sparring Exercises, and Fight Simulation Drills. Safety is the primary concern during these sparring exercises and sparring is 100% voluntary for Master Cycle students.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most frequent questions and answers about our Advanced Martial Arts Program.

remove

I hate doing gym workouts, I find them boring. Will this be similar?

Some describe sparring in jiu-jitsu as “Meditation” because they are only focused on the present moment at all times during their sessions. They are not thinking about their to-do list that day, only what they will do next in their jiu-jitsu “human chess match.”

For this reason, it is one of the most fun and mentally challenging workouts that can still be self-paced. We have seen individuals start from all fitness levels gain confidence and stamina on the mat through their jiu-jitsu practice.

remove

Do I have to compete?

No. At Gracie University, we are not a competition-focused gym. Our first priority for our martial arts students is that they learn the fundamentals of self-defense. What you need to do to survive against an aggressive, untrained opponent may be different than what you would need to learn for a sport jiu-jitsu tournament.

We support the individual jiu-jitsu journeys of each one of our students, regardless of whether they choose to test their skills in competition.

How long until I get a Black Belt?

On average, it takes a minimum of 10 years of jiu-jitsu practice to become a Black Belt, but it can be shorter or longer depending on the frequency of training.
