Gracie Jiu-Jitsu
Near Haines City, 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.
Gracie Barra is one of the most respected BJJ organizations in the world, founded by Master Carlos Gracie Jr. With over 900 certified schools on 6 continents, Gracie Barra maintains the highest standards of instruction, curriculum, and student development.
