Q.	The right move at the wrong time is the wrong move. Kanye212 (6/28/2023 8:10 AM)
A.	Word. Gracie University 1
Q.	I'm thinking about opening a Gracie Garage seeing as the nearest CTC is 4.5 hours away. I've already purchased the streaming content for Gracie Combatives but I'm starting to think the DVD's might be better for group learining. Is there any difference content wise between the DVD's and the streaming videos? JKurtzman (12/14/2019 7:09 AM)
A.	The advantage of the streaming lessons is that it gives you access to the most recent forum questions. Otherwise, the lessons are identical. Gracie University 1
Q.	can i use my home to start my business once i take the courses and stuff danger1999 (11/11/2019 4:04 PM)
A.	If you're referring to starting a CTC, review the requirements. A home is fine for a Gracie garage, but is unlikely to suffice for a commercial CTC. Gracie University 1
Q.	Can I do a similar presentation for my company? PatPoose2 (12/4/2018 8:28 PM)
A.	Of course, just be sure to use your own terminology please. GracieUniversity8
Q.	At 17:20, when Rener applies the Trap and Roll Escape technique, he does't grab the back of the elbow as he usually teaches. Instead, he grabs the front. Are both ways right? Nicolas Bento (5/30/2017 11:43 AM)
A.	Both ways will work, grabbing the back of the elbow is better for punch protection. GracieUniversity8

Lead Instructors

Rener Gracie

Gracie University Chief Instructor

Ryron and Rener Gracie are the eldest grandsons of Grand Master Helio Gracie, the creator of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Their father is Rorion Gracie, one of the world’s foremost experts in self-defense. In 1993, Rorion created the Ultimate Fighting Championship to showcase the supremacy of the family’s self-defense system in a realistic “no holds barred” confrontation against all comers. Rorion’s younger brother, Royce, won 3 of the first 4 UFC tournaments proving that the leverage-based techniques of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu provided the most reliable way to defeat a larger, more athletic opponent. Ryron and Rener were born into this family tradition of testing the art against all challengers.

Rorion introduced his sons to the art as soon as they could walk. As children, they watched him teach private classes in their garage in Southern California. But, it wasn’t until they observed their father and uncles – Royce, Rickson, and Royler – easily winning challenge matches that they began to comprehend fully the effectiveness of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Even more important, Ryron and Rener recognized the profound impact the family’s art had on all who studied it. The life changing transformations of Gracie University students motivated the brothers to teach the art. While constantly perfecting their physical techniques, they worked equally hard to master the powerfully effective instruction methods developed by their forbearers. In 2003, Grand Master Helio Gracie awarded Ryron and Rener black belts in recognition of their mastery of his unique techniques and teaching methodologies.
