We know it can be intimidating to join a gym with little or no experience and just jump right in. But at Renzo Gracie Alabama Academy, you don't have to worry about that. We offer multiple Gracie Jiu-Jitsu classes that are built on varying levels of experience. We cover everyone from the first time fighter to the lifelong trainer.
Learn how to defend yourself in real-world situations with training that is geared toward a practical set of skills. Rather than jumping straight into sport Jiu-Jitsu, our fundamentals class is built around helping you prepare for a physical altercation. The hour-long classes include 10 minutes of review, 40 minutes of technique and drill practice, and 10 minutes of reflex drills using the skills you just learned.
Classes are held Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 6:00-7:00 PM and Saturday from 9:00-10:00 AM
Take on our intermediate course where you’ll get an in-depth understanding of skills like takedowns, counters, advanced guard passing, and side control. These classes are broken into chapters spread over the course of multiple months and some classes include controlled sparring for a true application of your skills. Classes are split between Gi and no Gi sessions.
After having a solid foundation of a variety of well performed techniques, sequences, chain reaction moves, flawless transitions, escapes and follow up combinations, as well as a firm comprehension of the counters and re-counters, we can go a step further, like live free sparring, life free takedowns, sparring with one hand, starting from very difficult positions, guard passing with no hands and many. many live drills to train and develop even further your BJJ skills.
