Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Self Defense Tyler

“I think the curriculum focuses on a certain position for several weeks gives a better foundation than a new position and or technique each week. For example spending 3 weeks focusing on side control, side con from escapes, attacks, correct body position with drills helps really internalize those techniques. As opposed to one weak working guard passing followed by a week of arm bar techniques. Having an orderly progression of basic techniques and body positions with a longer period of practice ( perhaps 3 weeks) would be a better approach to leaning bjj. I could imagine have a required set of skills learned through these 3 week sessions as a requirement for belt promotion.”

“Gracie Barra Tyler is a good place to learn the fundamental techniques of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and train. Everyone here is friendly and quick to help regardless of athletic ability or age. They live up to their slogan of “Jiu-jitsu for everyone”, you can tell it is built into their culture. Try a free class and see for yourself.”

“I am beyond excited to be drilling moves longer! I finally feel like I'm unlocking tools I wasn't grasping previously. Sticking to working the same move over and over is where it's at. We can never master anything if we are constantly moving on so fast. LOVING this new training style. I've been training a year and finally feel a lot more "light bulb" moments. Drilling over and over is a must. PLEASE stick with this training! I am beyond grateful and blessed for my GB Tyler family! I look forward to seeing my people every time I train!”

“The values and principles that build Master Carlos Gracie Jr.’s personal philosophy have defined to a great extent the culture of Gracie Barra Tyler. I love this place. The students and coach's are great. It is a great community, family oriented, always clean and safe.”
