Training programs to cater for you level of experience and development.
The Gracie Barra Program Structure defines three main stages of development for students: the GB¹ Program – Jiu-Jitsu Fundamentals, the GB² Program – Advanced Jiu-Jitsu, and the GB³ Program – Expert Jiu-Jitsu. These stages indicate different maturity levels and students upgrade from one to the other in their own natural progression.
Our programs are designed with each student’s personal achievement in mind. Your personal goals, such as fitness or self-defence, will be taken into account when you sign up. Our self-defence classes for men and women are a great way to practice real-world techniques while strengthening your mind and body. Gracie Barra Mona Vale students see improvement not only athletically, but also mentally as they incorporate the Gracie Barra’s proven principles into their lives.
We recommend you arrive 15 minutes before your class, as we always start on time. When lining up to begin training, you’ll notice the instructor has a precise plan for the class. This is standard. The class routine is always similar so you know exactly what to expect during each part of training; the techniques change, though! You will learn over 100 technique combinations over four months during the Fundamental Program so be ready for the journey! You’ll also find strong support from your peers. By the end of the class you’ll be physically tired but mentally exhilarated. Don’t get too exhausted, though. We hope to see you back the next day! Remember, you can train as much as you want.
