ABOUT OUR ACADEMIES

All of our academies are instructed by Relson Gracie's finest students. No
matter whom you are or where you decide to train, understand that you will
be learning from an experienced and professional Gracie certified instructor.

You will also find that in addition to the techniques attributed to the
countless successes of the worldwide body of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu practitioners
(as demonstrated in sport and mixed martial art events around the Globe)
that the basic principles necessary to maximize personal development and
optimal performance are never neglected at any of the Relson Gracie
Jiu-Jitsu Academies. It is our assumption that with the popularization of the
fighting aspect of the grappling arts that these principles have been
abandoned and forgotten by many - perhaps even scoffed at by some - and
disconnected from the Jiu-Jitsu practitioner by outside observers. It is and
always has been our goal to facilitate the following characteristics within
every man, woman, and child who steps through our doors with the hope
that living and teaching these ideals will lead each person toward lasting
success in their careers, gratifying relationships, and eventual
self-actualization.

These principles are Loyalty; Humility; Respect; Discipline; Honor; Modesty;
Courtesy; Integrity; Perseverance and Courage.
