Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Hollywood (Los Angeles): Since 1925, over 40 members of the Gracie Family have dedicated their lives to developing the most effective system of self-defense the world has ever known. Today, the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy is a global organization which stands alone in its ability to empower anyone -- regardless of age, gender, or athletic ability . Rorion Gracie, whose high technical standards earned him the blessing from Grand Master Helio Gracie to certify instructors, saw in his sons Ryron and Rener the unparalleled determination to preserve the techniques and the teaching methods in their purest and most effective form. As a result, Rorion decided to entrust them with the monumental mission of launching the Gracie Global Training Program. Through the Global Training Program's network of certified training centers, like Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Hollywood, the brothers are determined to make the complete Gracie Jiu-Jitsu curriculum, once found only at the Gracie Academy, available to students around the world!
