Vision
With the worldwide interest in
the gentler side of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, the need for an association was
vast. I felt that due to my status in the Martial Arts community, along
with my experience, I would be able to guide students through the
techniques and philosophy needed to build a strong association and to
unify the spirit of traditional concepts.
The Rickson Gracie International
Jiu-Jitsu Association is committed to serving and assisting in the
development of the athlete, by providing quality training through
Official Representatives worldwide.
The Association offers belt
testing, seminars, tournaments and certificates for its members, as
well as providing a structured atmosphere with guidelines and training
records for students who take their training seriously and wish to
track their progress.
Our classes are available to all
members. Members also have the opportunity to meet and train with
members in other states and countries, having access to the various
Representative training facilities throughout these areas, without
additional registration costs.
The Rickson Gracie International
Jiu-Jitsu Association welcomes students of all ages. From beginners and
advanced students, to those who are currently involved in different
styles of martial arts, the Association provides the opportunity to add
new techniques to their current skills.
I have received numerous physical
and emotional benefits as a result of many years of training. My vision
is, through the Association, to spread the benefits of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.
