Join us and discover the transformative journey of mastering self-defense! Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Phoenix was founded in 2012, by owner and Head Instructor, Adam Ideson. Adam was introduced to jiu-jitsu through a friend and within seven short months, he quit his full-time job and began training jiu-jitsu every day. His deep interest and passion for the art took him to the Gracie Academy in Torrance, California. There he met and trained with Head Instructor, Rener Gracie. Upon learning more about the system, principles, and positive learning environment Rener and his brother, Ryron Gracie, were sharing through their growing network of Certified Training Centers around the world, Adam committed himself to learning, applying, and mastering these concepts. Within a couple years, he opened Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Phoenix. Today, with two locations, a team of 18 Certified Instructors, and over 500 active students, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Phoenix serves the Phoenix/Scottsdale community as a premiere destination for self-defense. The students in our programs range in age from 5-years-old to multiple students in their 70s, with the most senior student being 78 (and training 5 days a week)! Our academies are not just training facilities – they house a supportive “Jiu-Jitsu family”, where students of all ages and backgrounds come together to learn, grow, and enhance their lives. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Phoenix has become known not only as a premiere destination self-defense, but for the positive community and connection that hundreds of individuals and families travel to each week to be a part of a unique and remarkable place that supports and fosters an environment of self-improvement, health, and personal growth in every avenue of life.

Kids Program Url: https://graciejiujitsuphoenix.com/programs/gracie-bullyproof/

Kids Program Detail: In the Gracie Bullyproof program, our goal is to instill unshakable confidence in your child so they can overcome bullies without violence. Due to the non-violent nature of the techniques taught in the Gracie Bullyproof program, it has been proven as one of the few effective counter-measures to bullying for children between the ages of 5 and 13. Your child will learn to use verbal assertiveness to deter bullies and several non-violent self-defense techniques to stay safe if physically assaulted. It is important to note that we don’t teach how to punch or kick, since this often does more harm than good. Instead, we use leverage-based control holds to neutralize threats without violence. Numerous school districts have embraced the defensive nature of the Gracie Bullyproof techniques as a reasonable, non-violent response to bullying and some even host Gracie Bullyproof classes on campus! The bottom line is: we will prepare your child to defend themselves against bullies without turning them into one.

Woman Only Program Url: https://graciejiujitsuphoenix.com/programs/women-empowered/

Woman Only Program Detail: Women Empowered is the official Gracie self-defense program for women based on the techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). In this 15-lesson program, we will teach you how to neutralize the 20 most common attacks ranging from having your hair grabbed to being pinned to the ground by a weapon-bearing assailant. Each one-hour Women Empowered lesson addresses two techniques. You can start the program at any time and participate in any class without previous experience. Unlike most self-defense systems that rely heavily on strength, speed, and coordination, the techniques in the Women Empowered program employ leverage, technique, and timing, so anyone, regardless of age or athletic ability, can make them work against larger opponents. Once you complete the Women Empowered program, you may test for promotion to pink belt! Please note you will need to pay the full evaluation fee each time you take a test, and when you pass the test, you will receive your official Women Empowered Pink Belt and promotion certificate at no additional cost. Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is the perfect self-defense system for women, but only if it is taught correctly. If you’re unsure about learning BJJ for fear of injury, embarrassment, or any other reason, then the Women Empowered program is perfect for you! 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!
