Gracie Jiu-Jitsu
Near Champions Gate, FL
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is the original martial art created by the Gracie family of Brazil — and Gracie Barra Davenport is your certified connection to that legacy right here in Polk County.
The Art the Gracies Built
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is the foundational martial art developed by the Gracie family in Brazil — a ground-based grappling system built on the principle that leverage and technique allow a smaller person to defeat a larger, stronger opponent. It's the art that launched the UFC, changed combat sports forever, and became the backbone of modern mixed martial arts.
