Head Professor: Roberto Cuartero

Details: Gracie Barra Jacksonville was founded in October 2009 by Professor Roberto Cuartero. As a former United States Marine and antiterrorism instructor Roberto has a passion for teaching others. He believes Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the vehicle to drive individuals to lead a healthy lifestyle while learning to protect themselves. As a husband and father with 4 children Roberto envisioned providing a martial arts facility where the entire family could train together. Gracie Barra Jacksonville is now a full time training facility with a staff consisting of 6 black belts with over 70 years of combined experience. Through the Jiu Jitsu For Everyone initiative Gracie Barra Jacksonville has spread Jiu Jitsu and fitness to thousands of families. GBJAX has grown to be the premier Martial Arts and self-defense academy in North Florida. Gracie Barra has bankers, teachers as well as pro and amateur MMA fighters training side by side using the Gracie Barra method. From the beginning our goal is to ensure everyone is in a safe, clean, and positive environment.

Kids Program Detail: To excel in any endeavor, individuals need to have a strong set of values and a solid character that gives them perseverance to achieve his or her goals. The Gracie Barra Future Champions Program was created to provide martial arts for children ages 4-14 with an environment that allows them to experience and understand core values like focus, discipline, persistence, cooperation and respect. By teaching antibully, stranger danger as well as self defense the GBK1 & 11 programs are ideal for todays youth. As a contact sport, Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu provides a very challenging yet safe and caring environment for a child to mature towards a real life champion. The outcome of continued childhood practice of GB BJJ goes far beyond the accomplishments on the mats. The discipline and excellence demanded by our instructors often carries over to the child’s behavior at home and at school. Our Future Champions Program is typically subdivided in three different groups to accommodate students of different ages and skill levels.

Woman Only Program Detail: Aside from all classes offered in the Adults Gracie Barra Program Structure, our school offers a set of classes designed to introduce women to the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. As a martial art created to allow the smaller individual to defeat the larger, BJJ is a perfect fit for women who are interested in learning how to protect themselves while simultaneously getting fit. The Gracie Barra Women’s Program combines a comprehensive self-defense curriculum with emphasis on drills that simulate realistic attack and escape situations. The techniques are complemented by a strong fitness component that is second to none compared to classes offered in regular gyms. Classes specially designed for women like Rape Prevention, BJJ Conditioning and social outings are added benefits to the ordinary GB activities and create a strong bond between the members of the “Gracie Barra Womens Team.”
