CERTIFIED GRACIE JIU-JITSU TRAINING CENTER IN NAPPANEE, INDIANA
When you become a part of our Gracie Jiu-Jitsu family you will not only receive first-class instruction in the gentle art of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, but you also have access to online curriculum at GracieUniversity.com and can train at any Gracie Jiu-Jitsu CTC in the world for free!
​
We offer classes for people of all ages beginning at three years old. Kids, ages 3-13, can participate in our Gracie Bullyproof program. Beginner adults can start their jiu-jitsu journey in the Gracie Combatives classes. Once you have mastered the 36 techniques, your reflexes are sharp and your performance meets Gracie University standards, you will qualify for promotion, and you will be ready to transition into our advanced program.
Gracie Combatives is our beginner program for adults. In this program, you will learn the 36 core techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a fun, safe, and cooperative environment. Each one-hour lesson addresses one standing and one ground self-defense technique, which are further broken down into simplified drills or “slices” to facilitate the learning process. 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.
WHEN YOU TRAIN WORST CASE SCENARIOS CONSISTENTLY, THEY WILL NO LONGER BE WORST CASE SCENARIOS

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.
If you’re interested in instilling your child with unshakable confidence while reinforcing positive values and good character, the Gracie Bullyproof program is for you!
Women Empowered is the official Gracie self-defense program for women based on the techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). In this 15-lesson program, we will teach you how to neutralize the 20 most common attacks ranging from having your hair grabbed to being pinned to the ground by a weapon-bearing assailant. Each one-hour Women Empowered lesson addresses two techniques. You can start the program at any time and participate in any class without previous experience.
Beyond the physical techniques, Women Empowered also reinforces awareness principles, risk assessment, and verbal and psychological strategies a woman can use to set safe boundaries with others – even if the perpetrator is someone she knows. At the core of this mindset is the belief that we are worth defending!
