Gracie Barra Agoura (GB Agoura) is a premier Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy located in Agoura Hills, California, serving the Conejo Valley region. Under the leadership of Hall of Fame inductee Professor Romulo Barral, the academy offers a highly structured, professional, and family-friendly environment for students of all ages and skill levels.

 

Here is a minute, detailed breakdown of the classes and training programs available at GB Agoura.

 

1. Adult BJJ Classes (Ages 16+)

The adult curriculum is divided into three distinct stages to ensure safety and logical progression.

 

 GB1: Fundamentals Program (Beginners)

     Focus: This is the entry point for all new students. The curriculum follows a 16-week cycle covering the essential 96 techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

     Content: Students learn core self-defense strategies (escapes from headlocks, bear hugs, and punches), basic takedowns, and fundamental ground positions (Guard, Mount, Side Control).

     Safety: To prevent injury and intimidation, there is typically no live sparring (rolling) in the early stages of this program. Training focuses on cooperative drilling and specific positional safety.

 

 GB2: Advanced Program

     Focus: Designed for students who have mastered the fundamentals (typically 3-stripe White Belt and up).

     Content: This program bridges the gap between self-defense and “Sport Jiu-Jitsu.” Students learn complex combinations, transitions, and more dynamic takedowns.

     Sparring: Live rolling is introduced here. Students test their techniques against resisting partners in a controlled environment.

 

 GB3: Black Belt Program

     Focus: The highest level of training, designed for Blue Belts and above.

     Content: Instruction shifts from learning “moves” to developing a personal “game,” high-level strategy, and competition preparation. The pace is faster, and the techniques are more intricate.

 

 No-Gi Classes

     Focus: Grappling without the traditional kimono (Gi) uniform.

     Content: Students wear the official GB rash guard and shorts. The training emphasizes wrestling grips, speed, and body control, which is essential for MMA and realistic self-defense scenarios.

 

2. Kids & Teens Classes (Future Champions Program)

The youth program is strictly segmented by age to ensure developmental appropriateness.

 

 Little Champions (Ages 4–6)

     Goal: Introduction to body mechanics and socialization.

     Activities: Classes use “play-based” learning with games that teach coordination, balance, and listening skills. Kids learn basic safety moves like break-falls.

 

 Juniors (Ages 7–9)

     Goal: Discipline, teamwork, and fundamental technique.

     Activities: Students begin learning the core BJJ curriculum adapted for their size. Light, controlled sparring is introduced to teach responsibility and respect.

 

 Teens (Ages 10–15)

     Goal: Confidence, fitness, and anti-bullying.

     Activities: A robust program that prepares teens for the adult curriculum. There is a strong emphasis on Anti-Bullying, teaching students to neutralize aggression using leverage and control without throwing punches.
