Inquiring Minds want to KNOW.

This week, a Jiu Jitsu practitioner of rank and experience reached out to

GRACIE DURHAM with questions and concerns.

First and foremost - we love questions,

Certified Training Centers

a confusion about HOW they are executing their mission.

Because I don't feel so smart to verbalize the heart of the academy, here's an 8minute video featuring 5 Black Belts that have completed the Instructor Certification Program through the Gracie Academy. All of the Black Belts were external to the Academy.
