While the GB1 Program focuses on the building blocks and basic principles of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the GB2 Program is built on high-level techniques and drills that start shaping the students game flow through the development of reflexes, speed and reaction time as well as transitions between one technique and another. You will find the GB² Classes perfect for taking your Jiu-Jitsu to the next level.
GB2 Program classes are based on a defined class structure and curriculum that take a broad and open-minded approach, incorporating techniques from different grappling styles like wrestling, judo, sambo, and most importantly, Gracie Barra Jiu-Jitsu.
At this stage of training you will start:
- Shaping your Jiu-Jitsu game flow by working with the instructor on your favourite moves - Developing transitions between Jiu-Jitsu techniques - Experiencing further improvements in overall fitness level - Be able to pick up techniques faster and start to "put pieces of the puzzle" together yourself - Seeing yourself stronger and with better overall energy - Possibly stepping up to participate in Jiu-Jitsu competitions
"There is no losing in JiuJitsu, you either win or you learn"
The Gracie Barra Black Belt Program (GB3) is the last stage in Gracie Barra’s adult program structure. While it does represent the student’s arrival at the ultimate level of training in our school, it also represents a new beginning. The goal of this program is to further develop the student’s BJJ game flow by exposing them to cutting edge Jiu-Jitsu techniques and variations. The program’s dynamic curriculum and classes, followed by live sparring sessions, build a challenging yet safe environment for students to progress from their blue to black belts.
It is in the Black Belt Program that most students truly grasp what they’ve been told since being white belts: Jiu-Jitsu is an endless journey of daily accomplishments that always leads to a new challenge. The same old techniques gain new meaning as their BJJ game flow is defined. Gracie Barra students enrolled in the Black Belt Program are role models at our schools. The responsibility of sharing GB techniques and training philosophy with newer students is taken seriously. They play a key role in maintaining a safe, friendly and progress-oriented environment at our school.
When the journey is more important then the destination, you have become a GB Black Belt
