Gracie Barra is an outstanding organization focused on providing the highest level of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instruction as a tool for individual growth, as well as strengthening of families and communities for people of all ages, genders and backgrounds.

While this definition may seem obvious for those familiar with the organization, GB's unique philosophy and vision inspires its black belts, instructors, administrative staff and other members, to embrace the ambitious challenge of bringing GB Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to as many people as possible or, using Master Carlos' words, to establish a GB school in each city in the world.

At the moment you decided to become a Gracie Barra Black Belt or Instructor, this challenge became yours.

Like the many people who contributed to the development of this certification process, your life will be partially or fully dedicated towards the accomplishment of that vision.

Therefore, it is essential to have GB members with a deep understanding of the origins of GB and how its philosophy, vision, methods and tools were forged. By having a quality certification process in place, this will be accomplished.

The gentle art is based on the fundamental principles of balance, efficiency, effectiveness, adaptation, mutual support, and leverage. During practice, the student is constantly making use of these principles to accomplish a desired goal, be it a sweep, a take down, an escape, or a choke, to name a few examples.

A persons progress in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a consequence of mastering these principles. It is natural for the student to draw parallels between the challenges faced on the mats with the challenges faced in his/her daily life.

To be a GB black belt is to be in an advanced stage in that process of personal transformation through jiu-jitsu practice. To be a GB black belt is to have experienced significant improvement in his or her lifestyle and well being through jiu-jitsu practice.

All GB black belts are committed to develop themselves to the maximun extent possible, always striving for perfection.

Master Carlos Gracie Jr.
