Since 1925, the goal of the Gracie Academy has been to empower everyone with
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. For people who do not live near a Certified Gracie
Jiu-Jitsu Training Center, do not have internet access, or cannot find a
dedicated training partner, a Gracie Garage may be the only way to learn the
art. As a result, we are determined to establish at least one Gracie Garage
in every city by January 1, 2015, and for that, we need your help.
What is a Gracie Garage?
A Gracie Garage is any unofficial training center dedicated to the practice
of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu that is equipped with at least 100 square feet of mats
and is led by a devoted practitioner of the art. Gracie Garage members
access the Gracie Academy curriculum through Gracie University (or the
Gracie Combatives DVDs), and work together to perfect the techniques and
climb through the belt ranks. Although the original Gracie Garage was an
actual garage in which Rorion and Royce had their humble beginnings
(pictured below), a modern day Gracie Garage can be operated out of any
location, from a one bedroom apartment to an existing martial arts school.
New Benefits for Gracie Garage Leaders
Realizing the critical role that these unofficial training centers play in
spreading the art of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, not only have we decided to eliminate
all costs associated with becoming a Gracie Garage, but we will reward all
Gracie Garage leaders with the following benefits:
* The Family Hookup: Gracie Garage leaders are family, and family members do
not pay for classes at the Gracie Academy. Each year, you may train up to
ten days at the Gracie Academy Headquarters (Torrance, CA) at no charge. You
can redeem your training all in one trip or divide it among several shorter
trips. Just show up with your gi, and we'll take care of the rest.
* Early Master Cycle Access: Each time a Master Cycle course is produced for
Gracie University, we will first grant access to our Certified Instructors.
Then, we will make it available to Gracie Garage leaders. Only after we have
received feedback from certified instructors and garage leaders will we
release the Master Cycle lessons to the general public.
* 10% Discount on all Gracie Merchandise: Most people wear Gracie Gear to
look good; family members wear it to spread the word. As a result, we give
all Gracie Garage leaders a 10% discount on all Gracie merchandise - at all
times. This includes everything in the Gracie Store, from t-shirts and
training equipment to duffel bags and Champion Juicers.
* Surprise Visit by the Gracie Brothers: Every six months, we will randomly
select one Gracie Garage to receive a private seminar with one of the Gracie
Brothers at no charge. As an active Gracie Garage, we automatically enter
your facility in the drawing for this highly coveted training opportunity!
When Ryron, Rener, or Ralek knock on your door, please let them in.
