About
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu® is a martial art based on the principles of leverage and timing, in order to defeat larger opponents. We train our students in practical self-defense techniques that allow efficient use of one's energy in defending themselves, while forcing attackers to waste energy. Students are trained to end fights through achieving control of an attacker and applying a joint lock, choke hold, or escaping the attack.
Instructors
With a combined 60+ years of martial arts experience, our instructors are dedicated to providing the highest quality of instruction. Baltimore Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is one of the many Gracie University Certified Training Centers® throughout the world. When you enroll at our Jiu-Jitsu School you get free training at all Gracie Jiu-Jitsu CTCs in the world!
Gracie
Bullyproof®
Our Gracie Bullyproof® program focuses on teaching self-defense techniques to help students develop strength, improve coordination, and build confidence. Our fun and structured learning environment helps students improve their listening and attention skills while becoming more comfortable in social situations.
Our program teaches students how to react in a potentially confrontational situation, how to manage distance, escape the situation, and if necessary how to defend themselves and control an aggressor through leverage-based techniques.
Gracie Combatives®
Gracie Combatives® is our beginner program for adults. In this program, you will learn the 36 core techniques of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu® in a fun, safe, and cooperative environment.
Each one-hour lesson addresses one standing and one ground self-defense technique. You can start the program at any time and participate in any class without previous experience and, since safety is our number one concern, there is no competitive sparring in this program.
Master
Cycle®
Beyond blue belt, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu® consists of hundreds of advanced techniques organized into a clearly defined, systematic curriculum called the Master Cycle®.
The Master Cycle’s unique structure simplifies the journey to black belt by organizing all of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu into seven positional chapters (Mount, Side Mount, Guard, Half Guard, Back Mount, Leg Locks, Standing), each of which is studied for several months before moving on to the next chapter.
Women
Empowered®
Learn how to neutralize the most common attacks on women ranging from having your hair grabbed to being pinned to the ground.
Beyond the physical techniques, our program reinforces awareness principles, risk assessment, and verbal and psychological strategies a woman can use to set safe boundaries.
