Welcome to Gracie Gym Richardson. We are proud to offer the art of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu to Richardson, North Dallas and the surrounding areas. We provide hands on instruction of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for individuals of all ages, making it practical and easy to comprehend. The self-defense concepts with the martial art of Jiu-Jitsu are specifically designed to teach a smaller individual how to defend themselves against a larger individual by using leverage and technique. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches you how to fight off the ground, otherwise known as grappling, and submit your opponent through submission holds.
We pride ourselves in the fact that we have taught men, women, and children the art of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu since 1925, and have continued to pass on this exceptional form of self-defense.
Benefits of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu
The benefits of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu go far beyond its application as a practical form of self defense. Some of the benefits one can expect from training Gracie Jiu-jitsu are a stronger body through the application of practicing techniques and rolling. “Rolling” is when you practice the techniques you’ve learned on a matted surface in a controlled environment against other students. Rolling is great cardio and will make you sweat and burn calories! Weight loss is another well know benefit of Gracie Jiu Jitsu. Through its physical training you can expect to build strength and burn calories while having fun learning selfdefense in a safe and friendly environment.
Another benefit of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is building confidence and strengthening your mind. Mental toughness is built alongside the physical strength as you learn techniques and how to apply them in practical situations. Jiu-Jitsu can have an ironic impact on an individual – it develops humility while at the same time building intense confidence. Whether you want to find a new form of exercise, challenge yourself or become a competitive athlete, there is a safe place at Gracie Gym for you to meet your goals, be taken seriously and build a fellowship of friends and family.
