Gracie Barra has revolutionized the sport of BJJ by creating a complete system and curriculum for the instruction of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Having a well-organized system and curriculum is a necessity for teaching anything in general, especially such a technical sport like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The fact that Gracie Barra has created more BJJ World Champions than any other team shows just how well-organized and complete the curriculum and system are.

Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is one of the most fun and exciting sports out there.

Our Gracie Barra Texas location is owned and operated by Professor Vinicius " Draculino" Magalhaes, 4th degree Black Belt directly under Master Carlos Gracie Sr. Professor Draculino is considered by many to be among the best BJJ instructors in the world. He also teaches almost all of the classes here at Gracie Barra Texas. To read his complete Instructor Bio, please click here.

Many schools that teach Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are MMA schools and do not focus and put much energy into their BJJ classes, which can cause the instruction quality to be compromised. Gracie Barra offers pure Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. This is the core of the school, but all the other styles necessary to have success in Mixed Martial arts are there as well, such as: Muay Thai Kickboxing, Boxing, Wrestling and MMA specific training. In addition to those listed, we offer an exciting and fun Kick Boxing aerobics class available to everyone.
