This day is marked as closed. Reopen the day to edit or restore sessions.
Age 8 to 12 years: In this class we focus on strengthening and solidifying the fundamental techniques and movements. In addition to the basics, students expand their knowledge by exploring essential details and more complex techniques and sequences (linking individual techniques together into one continuous flow). Each class ends with sparring so students can practice applying the techniques and sequences they have learned as smooth, continuous movements.

Age 12+: In this class we continue developing the fundamental techniques while practicing increasingly complex and longer sequences (linking individual techniques together into one continuous system). Students are encouraged to develop their own style within the sport. Every body is different and therefore requires its own way of moving. There is room for personal input, deeper understanding, and discussion. Each class ends with sparring so students can practice performing the learned techniques and sequences as smooth, continuous movements.

The course will run from April 4 until July 11, with a short break during the holidays.
The first phase of the course will include a total of 15 classes over a period of 3 months.
Gracie Self-Defense is a system focused on survival, using leverage and technique instead of brute strength, allowing smaller people to neutralize larger attackers. It is based on traditional Carlson Gracie–style Jiu-Jitsu, prioritizing ground control, takedowns, defenses against punches and grabs, and quick submissions for real-life situations.
The course is included in the membership and has no extra cost. Classes will be done in regular clothing, so a Gi (kimono) is not necessary.
You can reserve your spot now through the app or the website. The reservation is free, but payment is made at the academy using the QR code.
For non-members, the price is €15 per class or 10 classes for €100.
The course is open to students from all academies.
Invite your friends and reserve your spot soon.
We look forward to seeing you there! 💪
