Mission Statement of Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
“We seek to train body, mind and spirit through the highest level of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instruction. We envison it as a vehicle for individual development and the strengthening of the family spirit, going beyond the winning-losing or contest philosophy.”
~ Master Carlos Gracie, Jr.
"At the heart of the Gracie Barra Family's extraordinary success over the years is our strong philosophy and mission as a group, a foundation which our masters laid many years ago, but is constantly being reinforced by the great people that make our community. Jiu-Jitsu is a beautiful art, and we have a vision of how it should be taught as a means for individual development going beyond the competitive realm. To achieve this vision, we must remember to come together as a family, always putting the team in front of individual. For that, we will fight to the end for what we believe is right".
