FUNDAMENTALS PROGRAM

What are the key qualities of a great fighter? What does it take for an ordinary person to realize their full potential?

The most successful fighters — and individuals — follow a shared set of principles that guide their journey. At Gracie Barra, the practice of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu offers students a path to discover these principles through an engaging process that combines instruction, observation, practice, constructive feedback, live training, and competition.

Students experience results that go far beyond improvements in strength, flexibility, fitness, or self-defence skills. By staying true to the lessons learned on the mats and applying them in daily life, Gracie Barra students often notice meaningful improvements in focus, energy, and overall well-being.

The Gracie Barra Fundamentals Program teaches the core principles of effective grappling to people just like you. Its structure distills the vast world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu into intelligently designed, safe, and practical fundamental movements — optimized to enhance your learning experience.

ADVANCED PROGRAM

What comes after mastering the Fundamentals? What’s the next step in your Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu journey?

The Gracie Barra program is structured into three key stages of student development: the Fundamentals Program, the Advanced Program, and the Black Belt Program. These stages reflect different levels of maturity in BJJ, and students move through them at their own natural pace.

While the Fundamentals Program focuses on the core building blocks and principles of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the Advanced Program introduces high-level techniques and drills that help students begin to shape their personal game. This includes developing sharper reflexes, faster transitions, and a better sense of timing and flow between techniques.

After a few months in the GB Advanced Program, students typically find themselves more deeply connected to the Gracie Barra philosophy, more bonded with their training partners, and more committed to healthy habits that keep them fit and motivated.

Classes in the Advanced Program follow a structured curriculum with an open-minded approach, incorporating techniques from various grappling styles such as wrestling, judo, sambo, and of course, Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Benefits of Joining Our Advanced Program:

  • Learn the most effective takedown techniques adapted for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

  • Develop smooth transitions between techniques

  • Experience further improvements in overall fitness

  • Deepen your understanding of all aspects of BJJ

  • Begin shaping your personal Jiu-Jitsu flow with the guidance of your instructor

  • Step up and prepare for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitions

BLACK BELT PROGRAM - COMING SOON

Can anyone truly master Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu? Does the journey ever really end? The Gracie Barra Black Belt Program is the final stage in the adult curriculum at our school. While it marks the student's arrival at the highest level of training, it also signals the beginning of a new chapter. This program is designed to further develop each student’s personal Jiu-Jitsu flow by exposing them to advanced techniques and their many variations. Its dynamic curriculum, combined with one-hour live training sessions, creates a challenging yet safe environment for students progressing from blue to black belt. 

It’s within the Black Belt Program that most students come to truly understand what they’ve been told since day one as a white belt: Jiu-Jitsu is an endless journey of daily breakthroughs, always leading to the next challenge. The same old armbars, triangle chokes, fireman’s carries, kimuras, sweeps, guard passes, and single-leg takedowns begin to take on deeper meaning as their flow becomes more refined.

Students enrolled in the Black Belt Program at Gracie Barra Boucherville are leaders on the mats. They take on the responsibility of sharing the GB philosophy and techniques with newer students, helping to maintain a safe, friendly, and growth-focused environment for everyone.

Benefits of Joining Our Black Belt Program:

  • Refine and define your personal Jiu-Jitsu flow

  • Learn cutting-edge BJJ techniques and variations

  • Reach new levels of physical fitness

  • Train with the most dedicated partners in the school

  • Enjoy extended two-hour training sessions

  • Start developing your teaching and coaching skills
