Gyms Details:

Head Professor: Austin Morgan

Details: Gracie Jonesboro is unlike any martial arts school in the area. As a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Certified Training Center (CTC), we are authorized to teach the proprietary self defense programs curated by Rener and Ryron Gracie. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, or BJJ is the only martial art proven to allow a smaller person to consistently defend against a larger opponent. We love helping our students of all ages find health and confidence through martial arts training. Our beginner programs can accommodate anyone regardless of skill, fitness level, or flexibility. Owner Austin Morgan got in to BJJ to learn how to defend himself as police officer. After training and competing in a sport focused setting Austin was introduced to Gracie University’s unique approach to the art through their law enforcement training program, Gracie Survival Tactics (GST). He was amazed by the safety culture and self defense applications found in Gracie University classes. In February of 2023 Austin completed the ICP evaluation at GU headquarters in Torrance CA, and we officially became Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Jonesboro.

Kids Program Detail: Little Champs (5-7 Years Old) - The Little Champs program is for kids 5-7 years old. Using our time-tested “Gracie Games,” we teach the Little Champs basic self-defense techniques while instilling the foundational principles of leverage and control. The secret to the success of this program is that we make the lessons so fun that the kids beg for more! Once a child masters the ten core Gracie Games, they advance to the Jr. Grapplers program. Jr. Grapplers (7-12 Years Old) - In the Jr. Grapplers program, we focus on 33 non-violent self-defense techniques that teach children to “neutralize and negotiate” with the bullies. Verbal assertiveness strategies are a major portion of this curriculum. A child needs absolutely no experience to start, and we guarantee a noticeable increase in your child’s confidence within a few weeks!

Woman Only Program Detail: Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is the perfect self-defense system for women, but only if it is taught correctly.

If you’ve tried BJJ at another school and had a negative experience, give Women Empowered a chance, and we guarantee it will win you back to the mat!
