OUR CLASSES:

GRACIE COMBATIVES is our beginner program for adults. In this program, you will learn the 36 core techniques of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in a fun, safe, and cooperative environment. Each one-hour lesson addresses one standing and one ground self-defense technique. You can start the program at any time and participate in any class without previous experience and, since safety is our number one concern, there is no competitive sparring in this program. Upon successful completion of the Gracie Combatives program we will promote you to Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Blue Belt and you will qualify for advancement to the Master Cycle program.

Combatives Schedule:
M 6:30-7:70pm
T 8:45-9:45am
5:30-6:30pm
Th 5:30-6:30pm
Sa 10:30-11:30am

FREE WOMEN'S SELF DEFENSE. Unlike most self-defense systems that rely heavily on strength, speed, and coordination, the techniques in the Women's self defense class employ leverage, technique, and timing, so anyone, regardless of age or athletic ability, can make them work against larger opponents.

Free women's self defense schedule:
W 6:30-7:30pm

GRACIE BULLYPROOF CHILDREN'S PROGRAM (ages 4-14)
Every month in the United States, three million children miss school due to fear of bullies. In the Gracie Bullyproof program, our goal is to instill in your child unshakable confidence so they can overcome bullies without violence. Due to the non-violent nature of the techniques, CNN, ABC, NBC, and Oprah have featured the Gracie Bullyproof program as one of the few effective counter-measures to bullying for children between the ages of 5 and 13.

We will teach your child to use verbal assertiveness to deter bullies and several non-violent self-defense techniques to stay safe if physically assaulted. Importantly, we don’t teach how to punch or kick, since this often does more harm than good. Instead, we use leverage-based control holds to neutralize threats without violence. Numerous school districts have embraced the defensive nature of the Gracie Bullyproof techniques as a reasonable, nonviolent response to bullying and some even host Gracie Bullyproof classes on campus! The bottom line is: we will prepare your child to defend themselves against bullies without turning them into one.

Gracie bullyproof schedule:
M 4:30-5:30pm
T 3:30-4:30pm
W 4:30-5:30pm
Th 3:30-4:30pm
Sa 11:30-12:30am

Wow, what a great experience. Drew, Shell, Ash, Dave and Stephen are amazing. I came into this with no prior martial arts experience. And not even really knowing what I wanted to get out of it. I'm having a fantastic time. Everybody that I'm in class with is helpful. We pair up together and support each other. All the instructors follow the same basic guidelines on teaching, but each one of them has their own way to adapt the lesson to make sure you understand it. If only I could quit my job and train full-time
This is the place to go if you want to start your Jiu Jitsu journey. They base their philosophy from grandsons of the creator of Jiu Jitsu Helio Gracie. No knarly sparring for beginner people. They base there teaching on learning how to do the art before your body gets exposed to the sparring aspect. Great place for beginners and mature Jiu Jitsu guys who want to get back to the basics, which is the foundation of all good Jiu Jitsu athletes. Great staff. Very professional.
The instructors are very welcoming and friendly! The facilities are really cool! It’s a legit Gracie Academy Training Center based out of Torrance, Ca. The Combative class is awesome for beginners! The Gracie BullyPROOF for Kids is a great program! My kids and I enjoyed training and learning and most likely are going to sign up! Highly recommend!
I've been studying here for approximately 4 months and I'm glad I decided to sign up at this gym. The instructors and other students are all very helpful and welcoming. It is part of a big family that is Gracie University. The training, resources and facilities are exceptional. A first class organization. I highly recommend this school for someone interested in learning this amazing art.
My 1st class at Gracie Santa Cruz was in late July 2020. I was so pleasantly surprised to find a Jiu-Jitsu school that was available for in person training due to covid. Thankfully, the team at Gracie Santa Cruz had taken numerous precautions to provide a safe and effective training environment. Class was social distanced, solo, with sanitized grappling dummies at each training station. I had a blast! The day after my 1st class, covid restrictions intensified and the school was no longer permitted to hold in person classes inside. Within a week, the team at Gracie Santa Cruz had installed an entire outdoor training facility with mats and shade canopies. I was throughly impressed with the speed and effectiveness in which they were able to adapt to the rapidly changing regulations. Shortly after opening the outdoor training facilities, our area was hit by some of the worst wild fires in history. Poor air quality forced the temporary suspension of all outdoor classes. Again, the Gracie Santa Cruz team was quick to act, putting the health and safety of their students first. The instructors are friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. The gym is clean and beautifully landscaped. Thank you so much to the team at Gracie Santa Cruz for going above and beyond to be available to teach such an amazing art during such a difficult time. You all rock!!!
The team is very kind here. My 6 year old says the instructors are caring and fun.
