      World-Class Leadership  

 

The quality of instruction is a major draw, with the school led by one of the sport’s legends:

 

    Professor Romulo Barral:   A BJJ Hall of Famer and 10-time World Champion. His expertise ensures that students, from beginners to black belts, are learning refined, high-level, and proven techniques. The instructional team is composed of experienced black belts who deliver the standardized curriculum with technical clarity and a focus on student development.

 

      Comprehensive and Structured Programs  

 

Gracie Barra Agoura follows the global Gracie Barra Method, which is a tiered, systematic approach designed for continuous growth, emphasizing both self-defense and sport BJJ.

 

       Adult Programs  

 

    GB1: Fundamentals Program:   The mandatory starting point for all beginners. The curriculum operates on a rotating 16-week cycle, focusing on the core principles of BJJ, essential movements, basic positions (mount, side control, guard), escapes, and foundational self-defense techniques in a safe, non-intimidating environment.

    GB2 & GB3: Advanced and Black Belt Programs:   Designed for experienced students (white belts with 3 stripes and above). These programs build strategic depth, introducing complex submissions, advanced guard systems, positional awareness, and more intense live sparring (rolling). The goal is to refine skills, enhance timing, and help students develop their own personal BJJ “game flow.”

    No-Gi Classes:   Dedicated classes focus on grappling without the traditional uniform. This style emphasizes speed, agility, and wrestling-style grips, which is crucial for a well-rounded skillset applicable to self-defense and modern combat sports.

 

       Specialized Programs  

 

    Future Champions (Kids & Teens):   This highly-regarded youth program for ages 4–15 uses BJJ to instill core values such as discipline, confidence, respect, and focus. It emphasizes anti-bullying strategies by teaching control techniques to safely neutralize a larger aggressor.

    Self-Defense:   Practical, reality-based self-defense techniques—emphasizing control and leverage over striking—are integrated throughout all levels of the curriculum.

 

      Schedule and Operating Hours  

 

The academy’s schedule is structured to accommodate diverse routines, with classes offered six days a week:

 

    Monday – Thursday:   12:00 PM – 8:00 PM

    Friday:   12:00 PM – 2:00 PM
