Amazing staff! Great focus on skills and competitive training. I wish there was a multi child discount, but all on all it's the best.

Professor Joebe, Professor Gabriel, and the entire coaching staff have been exceptional. After some recent life changes, our transition to the Rio Rancho location was incredibly smooth and welcoming. My daughters adapted quickly to the teaching style of the professors and coaches, and it has been a great experience for our family. Our oldest daughter competes, and the move has given her access to a larger and more diverse group of training partners, which has been invaluable to her growth and development. The positive environment, quality instruction, and supportive community make this an outstanding place to train. I highly recommend this location to anyone on this side of town looking for high-quality instruction and a welcoming atmosphere.

My son has been training with Gracie Barra since he is 3. Now he is a 7 year old confident young boy, who regularly competes, winning tournaments, and improving in all aspects of his life. Gracie Barra Jiu-Jitsu is a life changing experience for young boys. Thank you for being here in Rio Rancho.

ADULT PROGRAM

Comprehensive Adult Jiu-Jitsu Training Classes For All Skill Levels At Gracie Barra

Explore our diverse range of adult Jiu-Jitsu classes in Rio Rancho, NM, allowing students to select the ideal class for their needs. We offer four tiers of classes, each tailored to varying levels of skill and knowledge:

GB2 PROGRAM

While the Program focuses on the building blocks and basic principles of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the GB² Program is built on high-level techniques and drills. These advanced practices shape students’ game flow by enhancing reflexes, speed, and reaction time, facilitating smooth transitions between techniques.

After a few months in the GB² Program, students typically experience a deeper involvement in GB’s philosophy. They also develop a stronger bond with training partners and cultivate more discipline and commitment to healthy habits that keep them in good shape.

The GB² Program provides a foundation in high-level Jiu-Jitsu techniques and drills, helping students refine their skills and enhance their overall performance.

GB3 PROGRAM

The Gracie Barra Black Belt Program is the ultimate stage in GB’s adult program structure, representing the culmination of a student’s journey while also signifying a new chapter.

Here, the goal is to refine the student’s Jiu-Jitsu game flow by immersing them in cutting-edge techniques and their variations. The dynamic curriculum offers diverse classes, complemented by hour-long live training sessions, creating a challenging yet safe space for students transitioning from blue to black belts.

In addition to technical skills, the program emphasizes mental fortitude and strategic thinking, preparing students for the demands of high-level Jiu-Jitsu competition and real-life self-defense scenarios.

Upon completion, students not only earn their coveted black belt but also gain a deeper understanding of Jiu-Jitsu philosophy, a stronger sense of community, and the confidence to excel both on and off the mats.

KIDS PROGRAM

NO-GI PROGRAM

While BJJ practitioners typically train with a gi, which includes a jacket and pants, the No-Gi program emphasizes techniques and strategies that are applicable in situations where practitioners may not be wearing a gi, such as in mixed martial arts (MMA) competition or self-defense scenarios.

WOMEN PROGRAM

Crafted to meet the unique needs of women, this program combines the grace of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) with a supportive community, creating a space where strength, confidence, and camaraderie flourish.
