What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the fighting art developed from traditional Jiu-Jitsu by the Gracie family of Brazil. Even though BJJ contains standup techniques for winning a fight, it is famous for its devastating ground fighting techniques. BJJ was specifically developed to allow a smaller person to defeat a larger person by sophisticated application of leverage and technique. Gaining a superior position on your opponent and applying a myriad of chokes, holds, locks and joint manipulations is the foundation of this martial art. BJJ is normally practiced in a gi, which serves as a tool to give the student a greater element of control.

WHO IS IT FOR ?

Whether your goals are to become more physically fit, start a new hobby, compete in tournaments, learn Jiu-Jitsu or just train to have fun, you will find it all and more at RENZO GRACIE ALABAMA JIU-JITSU. At RGABJJ will help you achieve your goals and have a good time while doing it. Our mission is to train as a family, to have fun, and to help bring out the best in students. RENZO GRACIE ACADEMY was founded in 1996 by Renzo Gracie, 8th-degree black belt under Carlos Gracie, Jr. The Academy traces its roots directly back to the original Gracie Barra Academy located in Barra da Tijuca, Rio De Janeiro, Brasil. Gracie Barra is owned and operated by Master Carlos Gracie Jr., the son of Carlos Gracie, the late founder of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Roberto Descailleaux, 3rd. Degree Black Belt under Renzo Gracie, opened RENZO GRACIE ALABAMA in 2019.

My 15 year old daughter started taking Jiu Jitsu about 7 months ago. In that time, she’s not only developed a strong foundation in Jiu Jitsu (and self defense, which makes this mom happy), but she’s also gained so much confidence in herself. Professor Roberto is so patient, kind, and just an all-around great person and we couldn’t be happier with his class.

I’ve been training with Roberto at Renzo Gracie Alabama a little over two months, and I could ask for a better gym and instructor! Roberto is great about really breaking down the movements and techniques, so that you get the absolute best position and alignment. The gym has a real “family” type environment and everyone is eager to help you accomplish what you’re looking for. I can see a long, and successful journey in JiuJitsu training with Roberto. In and outside of the gym! 💪🏽

I have enjoyed learning jiujitsu with Professor Roberto. His knowledge of the art is incredible. My two boys have taken jiujitsu for 5 years at another academy and have learned more in two months with Professor Roberto than the entire 5 years. I would definitely recommend this academy for anyone looking for a fun environment with a professional instructor. Be ready for a great workout.

My teenagers LOVE LOVE this class and I LOVE LOVE the good changes I’ve seen in them. They aren’t just learning Jiu Jitsu moves they are learning self defense skills, gaining confidence, exercising, practicing muscle memory, becoming more sportsmanlike, practicing focus and so much more. Professor Roberto is blessing.

I have trained Bjj for about 4.5 years, seen several teaching styles, and worked with quite a few people. Roberto’s classes are structured in a very engaging and practical way that promotes a flow of movement. Personally, I really enjoy the friendly atmosphere and positive environment. It is family-friendly and comfortable, though a somewhat cramped space in the current location. No one is excluded or ignored, and questions are always welcome. I have trained only a few weeks, but I can feel from the skills of his students that prolonged exposure to Renzo Gracie Alabama will result in serious jiu jitsu skills.

I had a great experience at Renzo Gracie Alabama. Roberto is a fantastic teacher, he sees the big picture but takes the time to show you the details that help you understand the positions and techniques you're learning. The thing that I like the most is that you get a great workout every class and you're intellectually engaged the entire time. I can't wait to get back to it.

If you are serious about learning the art of jiu jitsu this is the place for you. I have trained at schools in New Orleans, Galveston and Alabama and Professor Roberto is by far the best instructor that I have trained under. If you come and try one class I guarantee you will fall in love with this school the way that I have.

If you want to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, lose weight, attain and maintain flexibility, then this is the place for you! I am a 60 year old retired Army guy...and Robert coming to Mobile was the best thing that could have happened to me. I know many instructors in this business, and I will say without hesitation that Robert is the real deal and the best instructor I have ever came across. He listens to your goals and tailors his teaching strategy to that. He is from the old school Gracie teaching methodology, and values the principles of self defense. He explains and demonstrates the "how" of course, but also explains the concepts...the "why" these techniques work...and that's what you really need to know! Go see Robert for a free class...you won't regret it.

I have taken BJJ before but no one has pushed me more nor been as thorough as professor Rob. No sooner than class is over I am already looking forward for the next class. I joined for cardio and exercises purposes, so far I have lost right around 10lbs in just a few weeks.

I just wanted to take a minute to share my experience. I spent 2 nights training with Coach Roberto Descaileaux. He and his students were kind and respectful. I enjoyed my time on the mat and will likely join them again when I am in town.
