3 Levels of Classes

Fundamentals (Beginners to Intermediate)

Gracie Barra’s Fundamentals Program is designed to introduce beginning students to the basic concepts of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and get them comfortable with the fundamental techniques. In these classes, the emphasis is put on teaching basic positions, drills, and movements, to give our new students a solid understanding of dominant positions, escaping bad positions, and the use of practical self-defense techniques including chokes and joint locks. Students in this program learn submissions, takedowns, and how to control an opponent using leverage and superior positioning. Each new technique or theory is presented in a step-by-step method, which makes it easy for new practitioners to progress and improve. This class includes warm up exercises, basic coordination drills, a Jiu Jitsu/self-defense technique, and fun live application drills which will get you in great shape. The unique benefits of this program are that it develops strong motor skills, fitness, discipline, and introduces students to a practical form of self-defense, all in a fun environment. We recommend new students to participate at least 2 times per week.

Advanced Program (Intermediate to Advanced)

This program is designed to take students who have a good understanding of the fundamentals to the next level of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, which includes more complex and advanced positions and techniques. This class consists of high amounts of drilling, live sparring and also No Gi classes. This program will allow your skills and interest in BJJ to grow tremendously. We will help you develop strategies and gameplans specific to your skills and strengths in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. This program also focuses on fine tuning your all around knowledge and skills in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, including advanced takedowns, takedown defense, passes, sweeps, and submissions. Students must complete Gracie Barra’s Fundamentals Program before moving up to this program.

“I have trained and coached with Coach Alex for over five years. He is definitely one of the best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu coaches I have ever trained with because of his passion for teaching, great communication skills, and top level technique. I think that it is rare to find someone who can teach as well as they can perform the skill themselves, and Coach Alex is one of these people. In my opinion, both his kids programs and adult programs are some of the best in Orange County.”
