This week in our Master Cycle® program we’ve been looking at controlling the side mount and preventing escapes.

Once you prevent an escape there’s often an attack opportunity. Here we look at how the Back Door escape can leave your opponent open for a sneaky Underhook or “Bread Cutter” choke. Give it a shot! 🙏👊🙌🥋

Grateful for the connections and friendships that jiu-jitsu creates.

Wishing our friend, Keanu, all the best as he heads home to Sydney this week after a few months with us.

Thank you for the fun rolls! 🙌🙏👊🥋💥

Andy has put in the hard work and persistence to get here and we couldn’t be prouder of this achievement.

Andy not only works hard on his own craft, he spends a lot of time in our beginners program, Gracie Combatives®, helping the new students and nurturing their growth.

Thank you for your dedication, Andy, and we can’t wait to see you take it to the next level. Well done! 🙏👊💥

Cory is autistic and has been targeted by from bullies for years. His sister, Ninette, discovered the Gracie Bullyproof program and showed their parents. Now the family is training multiple times per week. The most recent bully was so effectively “taken care of” by Ninette, that they haven’t had any problems since.

We’re so proud of the Vera family for exploring new solutions to longstanding bullying problems, and for getting out off their comfort zone.
