Classes & Programs

From the very beginning of Gracie Barra, Master Carlos Gracie Jr. has had one goal in mind: Jiu-Jitsu for Everyone. For over 30 years, we have offered classes for adults that teach people of all backgrounds and skill levels the art of Jiu-Jitsu. Our structured curriculum is designed specifically to help you succeed during your training in the art of Jiu-Jitsu.

Children and teens of all skill levels and abilities will benefit from Jiu-Jitsu classes at Gracie Barra Long Island. Our GB Kids Program is designed to teach children self-discipline as well as providing a unique way to express themselves. Our instructors are trained to interact and offer gentle correction for children and teens who practice the art of Jiu-Jitsu. Children over the age of three can begin their training at any of our 700 Gracie Barra Schools, experiencing the true power of brotherhood and integrity.

Aside from all classes offered in the Adults Gracie Barra Program structure, our school offers a set of classes designed to introduce women to the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu by introducing Women’s Self Defense in Jupiter, Florida. As a martial art designed to allow the weaker to defeat the stronger, BJJ is a perfect fit for women who are interested in learning how to protect themselves. And who wouldn’t be, right?

BarraFIT is our answer for students who want a challenging class focused on aerobic exercise and strength training. This class is a Jiu-Jitsu inspired workout that promotes weight loss while increasing your overall fitness for residents throughout Floral Park, Garden City, and Williston Park. This unique fitness program is designed with the same principles and values we teach in our Gracie Barra Programs training. Due to its versatility and all-encompassing health benefits, BarraFIT is recommended both for those currently practicing Jiu-Jitsu and also those who want to improve their physical well-being.

Private Jiu-Jitsu lessons strengthen your skills and help you hone specific techniques that you learned in class. Private lessons are a great way to gain an edge over the competition and advance your abilities on a faster timeline than your peers. Your journey in Jiu-Jitsu is unique and the training shows different results for everyone, which is why it’s best to follow a personalized approach when learning the art of Jiu-Jitsu. At Gracie Barra Long Island, we not only offer comprehensive classes for all ages and skill levels but also encourage our students to take part in a private training course to lock in what they have learned in class and further improve their skills.
