WE ARE TEAM RENZO GRACIE.
Respect the name
Few names carry the same weight in Jiu Jitsu as Renzo Gracie. A legendary member of the Gracie family, Renzo fought to put Jiu Jitsu on the map and is one of the most influential figures in MMA history.
fight anyone, anywhere
Renzo is known for his charisma, toughness, and willingness to test himself against all comers — from challenge matches in the streets of Brazil, to PRIDE FC in Japan, and the UFC. He has always embodied the “fight anyone, anywhere” mentality.
Leading the evolution of the art
Renzo was one of the first to bring Jiu Jitsu to the United States. In the early 1990s, he established the original Renzo Gracie Academy in NYC which quickly became a breeding ground for champions. As both a fighter and an instructor, Renzo embraced innovation and has led the way for the modern evolution of the art.
The academy you’ve been searching for.
Skills from the source
We are proud to have a strong lineage that flows directly from Renzo Gracie. Our head instructor, Alex Aung, earned his black belt from Shawn Williams — one of Renzo’s very first American black belts. At our academy, you’ll be learning authentic Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu.
Innovative teaching approach
We use an innovative training method known as the “Ecological” or “Constraints-Led Approach” (CLA). With this method, we break down complex skills into simple games that even brand-new beginners can understand and play from day one.
