Head Professor: Romulo Barral

Details: Gracie Barra Northridge opened in August of 2011. Our academy was founded by Professor Romulo Barral, a 3rd Degree Black Belt under Vinicius “Draculino” Magalhaes. Professor Romulo is an ADCC champion, a 5x world champion at the black belt level (2007, 2009, 2012, 2013, 2014), and a no-Gi black belt world champion (2009). Despite Professor Romulo’s spectacular competition record, he maintains a passion for instruction, and enjoys teaching all skill levels, from white to black belts. Professor Romulo regularly teaches our all levels, advanced, and black belt programs and he oversees our fundamentals classes as well! In addition to traditional Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, in which you wear a Gi, Gracie Barra Northridge also offers no-Gi Jiu Jitsu classes. In these no-Gi classes, students wear board shorts and a rash guard or t-shirt. These classes focus on learning and applying the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu without the traditional Gi.

As a “gentle” combat sport, Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu provides an exciting, safe and caring environment for children to progress toward the more intricate and higher-level Gracie Barra Northridge adult programs. The result of the long-term practice of Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu Jitsu goes well beyond achievements on the mats. The self-discipline and excellence encouraged and embodied by our coaches often carries over to other aspects of the child’s life. As an added benefit, kids enrolled in the program are taught practical and easily implemented strategies to help them counteract bullying in school. Gracie Barra kids are much less likely to be bullied because they learn both verbal and non-verbal skills for de-escalating and safely ending situations that might otherwise lead to violence. Of course, they are also taught to safely and effectively defend themselves.
