Welcome to the ONLY Gracie Jiu-Jitsu academy in Lubbock, Texas. All our instructors have been given either their black belts or 1st & 2nd degree black belts from Ralph Gracie himself.
NO other Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy in Lubbock is a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu school & no other Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy in Lubbock has any instructors that have been given their Black Belts by a Gracie.
Why is this important? This guarantees that our knowledge and our instruction is at the highest level possible as we are all certified Gracie jiu-jitsu instructors.
We are the ONLY academy in Lubbock that gives EVERY single student that completes the Ralph Gracie curriculum the option that they will be presented a belt & certificate by RALPH GRACIE himself.
NO other academy in Lubbock can offer students the honor and privilege of starting off their Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu journey as a beginner wearing a white belt then progressing through the REAL Gracie jiu-jitsu belting system of blue, purple, brown & then black belt. Every single belt will be presented to you by Ralph Gracie himself.
