Although Gracie Jiu-Jitsu consists of over 600 techniques, studies have shown that only 36 techniques have been used more often and with greater success than all the other techniques combined. Originally developed for the U.S. Army in 1995, Gracie Combatives is the only course that is entirely dedicated to the mastery of these 36 essential techniques. Absolutely no experience is necessary to get started! This program is specifically designed to be enjoyed by any new student regardless of age, gender, or athletic ability.
