Gracie Barra South College is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and self-defense school at Tower Point in south College Station. The academy has beginner, kids, advanced, and competition paths led by Head Professor Milton Machado, a 5th-degree black belt who has trained since 1995.
Children begin with an age-based Little Champions or Juniors class. Adults and teens ages 15 and up begin with GB1, the school’s published all-levels program. Morning, midday, and evening options make it possible to choose a class before committing to a routine.
Tell us a little about yourself so we can point you toward the right first class.
The all-levels class is where a first-time adult starts. Learn the basics at a measured pace with people who remember their own first day.
Select an age band and the pathfinder will point you to the class the school currently publishes for that group.
A first contact with the mat, built around coordination, listening and falling safely.
Real technique taught through careful coaching, play and confidence.
A more focused class for older kids who are ready to take their training seriously.
Join an all-levels class first. Professor Machado can place you in GB2 or GB3 after learning your rank and experience.
