No GST Level 2 courses in your territory? Check out our GST Level 2 Online Certification Course or consider hosting GST at your agency for free!

In order for an agency to experience the full benefit of the GST program, we recommend each instructor completes Levels 1 and 2 as soon as possible. In the past, the only way to achieve this, was to attend 5-day GST Level 1 course at one location and then attend a 5-day GST Level 2 course at a completely different location several months later. With the new Dual Certification Course format, we conduct both courses back-to-back, so that students can learn all 40 techniques and all the Gracie teaching methodologies in 8 days instead of 10.

  • Reduced Training Time: Without any prior experience in jiu-jitsu or defensive tactics, a participant can get certified in GST Level 1 and GST Level 2 in the shortest time possible.
  • Less OOO Time: Since the entire course is covered in 8 training days (Monday through Friday in week 1 + Monday through Wednesday in week 2), each participant will spend less time out of office time than if they completed both courses separately.
  • Reduced Travel Expenses: Since both levels are completed back-to-back at the same location, students will save money on airfare and other travel expenses when compared to completing both courses at separate locations.
  • Reduced Tuition Expenses: The cost for Level 1 and Level 2 certification, if completed separately, is $3,000 ($1,500 per course). The cost for Dual Certification using this format is $2,500.
