Charles Gracie Jiu Jitsu

Located at 1201 W Main St., Suite 15 in Ripon, California, Charles Gracie Jiu Jitsu delivers traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu education and self-defense training. The academy operates as part of the Charles Gracie network, serving children, adolescents, and adult students throughout the local community. The instructional program emphasizes ground fighting principles, balance, positional control, and joint submissions designed to enable practitioners to defend themselves using leverage rather than strength. Students participate in systematic technique drilling, defensive maneuvers, escapes, and supervised sparring designed to develop physical coordination and technical confidence. Class schedules feature dedicated youth programs alongside adult sessions open to all belt levels held throughout the week.
