Gracie Humaita (pronounced “oo-mai-TAH”) is the name of the first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy in the world. Founded by Helio Gracie and his brothers in the 1920s, our team represents the purest and most direct connection to the founder of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Today, the name also represents the network of schools around the world that serve as direct representatives of that lineage and of Helio’s son, Royler Gracie. Our schools provide an essential place to train for the professional, wrestler, mixed martial arts enthusiast, or competitive Gi and No-Gi athletes. We also offer women’s self-defense classes and kids anti-bullying classes.

BJJ will test you in ways you didn’t expect. Your patience, your ego and your ability to stay calm when everything feels uncomfortable.

You’re not just learning how to grapple. You’re learning how to keep going when things get hard. 💪

Come train with us. Let the mats introduce you to a version of yourself you haven’t met yet. 🥋

Nobody becomes good at Jiu-Jitsu from one perfect class. It’s the messy classes, the endless reps, the corrections, and the decision to come back tomorrow.

Today we celebrate Master Helio Gracie

He gave Jiu-jitsu its foundation and lived it as a fighter a teacher and father. His influence reaches well beyond the family name to the many people who have stepped onto a mar because of the path he helped open.

We’re grateful for the art, the example and the generation he inspired.

Happy Birthday Master Helio!
Osu! 🥋

Confidence is built on the mats.

You get put in uncomfortable positions, figure things out, mess up, try again… and eventually you realize you’re not the same person who walked in on day one.

Self-defense, confidence, discipline and a community that keeps you coming back. 🥋❤️

Come see what training with us feels like.
