Jiu-Jitsu
Near Haines City, FL
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the world's most effective ground-based martial art — and Gracie Barra Davenport brings it to Polk County with certified instruction for every age and skill level.
The World's Most Complete Grappling System
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a ground-based martial art that teaches leverage, technique, and submission grappling. Unlike striking arts, BJJ allows a smaller, less athletic person to control and submit a larger opponent using joint locks and chokes — making it one of the most practical self-defense systems ever developed.
At Gracie Barra Davenport, we teach both Gi (traditional uniform) and No-Gi BJJ using the certified Gracie Barra curriculum — the same system used at 900+ GB schools worldwide. Whether you're a white belt stepping onto the mat for the first time or a seasoned competitor, there's a class built for you.
Classes run 6 days a week at 6250 Grandview Pkwy in Davenport — with morning, afternoon, and evening options for adults, teens, and kids starting at age 3.
Why Train BJJ?
- Effective for all body types — technique beats size
- Proven in real competition: UFC, ADCC, and the Olympics
- Builds confidence, discipline, and mental toughness
- Safe training environment with controlled sparring (rolling)
- Structured belt progression from white to black belt
