Adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Gracie Barra Arnold

Jiu-Jitsu for Everyone – Build Confidence, Fitness, and Skill

At Gracie Barra Arnold, we believe Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is more than a sport, it’s a powerful tool for personal development, fitness, and lifelong learning.

From the very beginning of Gracie Barra, Master Carlos Gracie Jr. envisioned “Jiu-Jitsu for Everyone”, and for over 30 years, we have helped adults of all backgrounds achieve their goals through world-class instruction, supportive community, and structured training.

Whether you’re stepping onto the mats for the first time or working toward Black Belt excellence, you’ll find a programme tailored to your journey.

Our Adult Jiu-Jitsu Programmes

We offer a structured pathway through three tiers of adult training, designed to support every stage of your development:
