Reylson Gracie Gear

philosophy  continued......

     We work one-on-one with our students, which is the best way to teach my system. This doesn't mean you cannot learn in group lessons, but you can learn better and faster. The REAL Gracie Jiu-Jitsu was designed to be taught one-on-one.

     My instructors receive personal instruction and are specially trained and certified by me. To get their certification, they must know how to teach my system perfectly. With this training comes the maturity to know how to deal with each person's automatic reaction. Then, they use that to help build and improve all aspects of the student's functional capacity: mentally, spiritually, and physically. It is required that people preparing themselves to be a professional instructor under me spend at least 50 hours per month to perfect their teaching and interpersonal skills. It is not to see who is the best fighter, or who can beat the guy who is higher rank than them. It is a much more intensive than the student program. Considering this, in my system a person can be certified to teach in my academy at the Blue Belt level in less than one year.

     We are not here to teach fighters or to encourage brutality and fighting. Jiu-Jitsu literally means "the gentle art". We show you how you can take control of any kind of physical confrontation and to put your opponent down the gentle way. You only break your opponent if you choose to. The purpose of my academy is not only to learn the best self-defense man has ever invented, but also to use the Jiu-Jitsu as a vehicle to reach each student's personal objectives. back  next   top
