Adults
From the very beginning of Gracie Barra, Master Carlos Gracie Jr. has had one goal in mind: Jiu-Jitsu for Everyone. Whether you are completely new to jiu-jitsu, have trained before, or are aspiring to compete - we have the classes for you.
We have three tiers of classes that address varying degrees of skill and knowledge. Our adult jiu-jitsu programmes are designed with each student's personal journey in mind - your personal goals, such as fitness or self-defence, are taken into account when you sign up.
Our self-defence classes for men and women are a great way to practice real-world techniques while strengthening your mind and body. Gracie Barra students see improvement not only athletically, but also mentally, as they incorporate Gracie Barra's proven principles into their lives.
FUNDAMENTALS
This course can be thought of as jiu-jitsu for beginners. It teaches the fundamentals and principles of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as well as the skills you need to grow personally in jiu-jitsu.
Students experience results that go beyond gains in strength, flexibility, fitness or self-defence skills. By remaining truthful to the lessons learned in practice and applying them off the mats, Gracie Barra students experience an overall improvement in their focus, energy and general well-being.
ADVANCED · 3 STRIPE WHITE BELT AND ABOVE
Take your training beyond the fundamentals and begin to hone the principles you need to succeed, such as discipline, respect, commitment and leadership. At Gracie Barra Widnes the advanced program covers our GB2 classes and our GB2 NoGi classes, with taught curriculums, specific training and drilling.
Classes are built on high-level techniques and drills that shape the students' game flow through the development of reflexes, speed and reaction time as well as transitions between techniques, taking a broad and open-minded approach that incorporates styles like wrestling and judo alongside Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
BLACK BELT EXCELLENCE
This programme is designed to help students achieve black belt excellence. At this stage, a student begins applying what they learn during their jiu-jitsu training to everyday life.
Our GB3 classes allow students to take their learning into a fast paced and reassured environment to test their skills in sparring, and potentially our competition training and sport jiu-jitsu.
Jiu-Jitsu classes at Gracie Barra Widnes are perfect for any adult who wants to learn a new skill in a safe, challenging and family friendly environment. We offer programmes for all skill levels, so you can choose to focus on the fundamentals of jiu-jitsu and martial arts, or begin the journey to train for your black belt.

We seek to train body, mind and spirit through the highest level of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instruction. We envision the art as a vehicle for individual development and the strengthening of the family spirit, going beyond the winning-losing or contest philosophy. — Master Carlos Gracie, Jr.

Gracie Barra Widnes will not only teach you a skill but develop your knowledge of Jiu Jitsu, we pride ourselves on the three main values - brotherhood, development and integrity.
