Street readiness in 23 classes
The 36 techniques in Gracie Combatives are the most important techniques in all of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, strategically divided into 23 one-hour classes. No experience is necessary to join any class, and the classes can be completed in any order.
Reflex Development (RD) classes
Once you’ve attended each class twice, you qualify for RD classes — where you learn the advanced combinations that sharpen your reflexes and take your confidence to the next level.
