STRUCTURED BEGINNER PROGRAMS
EVERYONE GETS FROM JIU JITSU, WHAT THEY NEED FROM JIU JITSU
 

Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is for everyone, regardless of your age, gender or physical ability, but only if taught correctly. Many BJJ schools have taken a “one-size-fits-all” approach to teaching the art. The problem with this is that there are people with different needs being taught Jiu Jitsu the same way.

 

The Gracie University has gone to great lengths to create very structured, specific programs with relevant curriculums for each every member of the family and we are proud to offer them here in Tameside:

Gracie Combatives (Beginner Adults) FAQ's

I have no experience, is this program right for me? Yes! Gracie Combatives is designed for those with zero experience in this or any other martial art. Most members join without having any prior training. I feel I am too old and/or out of shape, will this be an issue? Definitely not! We have members over 55 years old who train multiple times per week. One of the primary reasons people start Jiu Jitsu is to get active and healthy - we designed this course to ease you in, and while you will be pushed, you work at your own pace. Will I get injured or embarrased? If you get injured or embarrassed you won't come back. Everything about this course was specifically designed to make the classes as safe and encouraging for new students as possible! What will I learn? Gracie Jiu Jitsu is a complete martial art. This means you will learn some basic striking techniques, standing self-defence, standing up grappling, takedowns, how to control someone larger than you, escapes from the most dangerous positions and highly effective submission techniques such as chokes and joint locks! How does the course work? Gracie Combatives is based on the 36 most important techniques of Jiu Jitsu. We spilt these techniques into 23 lessons that you can complete in any order, at your own pace.
