If you’ve been thinking about trying Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), but you don’t want to get injured or embarrassed, this seminar is exactly what you need to attend!

To learn more about the event, watch this video featuring Ryron and Rener Gracie.

In this special 2-hour free seminar, you will get a brief orientation on the history of BJJ and then you will learn several techniques from Gracie Combatives, the world’s leading BJJ program for beginners.

This event is being offered at Gracie University Headquarters in Torrance, California, as well as several Certified Training Centers around the world.

Although no experience is necessary, the event often reaches capacity so pre-registration is strongly recommended.

This event is the safest and most enjoyable way to be introduced to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, so we really look forward to sharing the mat with you.

What should I wear?
