As the first Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy in the Westchester County and the Hudson Valley we specialize in teaching basic Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Our Gracie Basics Program is safe, energetic and, by far, the best way to get started in the most effective martial art in the world: Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is the most effective fighting style ever developed.

This exciting martial art rose to prominence during the mid and late1990s, when Royce Gracie used it in the Ultimate Fighting Championship events to defeat a number of experienced martial artists schooled in traditional fighting styles like Karate, Kung Fu, Tae Kwon Do, Boxing and Wrestling.

The art centers around simple, easy to learn techniques that will allow you to defeat larger opponents in real world self defense situations.

This program offers something for everyone. Men, Women and Teens can enjoy the benefits of being empowered by the simple and effective techniques that you take with you everywhere.

The Gracie Basics also provide you with the fundamentals necessary to advance into the Gracie Intermediate/Advanced program and the MMA program.
