Coming from a 1990s culture back in Rio de Janeiro, there was no formal curriculum or division of classes by age and belt like today.
Most academies had only small kids, juniors, and adult class.
After many years running on that pace it was clear that becoming a higher rank was like winning a lottery as it demanded an intense and tough training journey that was not for everybody. That’s why so many students quit due to injuries or because they didn’t feel comfortable on that environment.
Here at Rilion Gracie Doral we believe in planning, consistency, and culture. Those aspects have made us develop these programs you are about to see below.
This program is designed to ignite children’s self-defense awareness while cultivating discipline, resilience, and social skills. Through engaging, participative classes, it also enhances motor skills, cognitive development, and emotional intelligence. The experience is packed with fun, featuring games and interactive activities that ensure kids sharpen their minds and bodies—all while having an absolute blast on the mat.
=> Kids: TUE & THU @ 4:50pm to 5:30pm
Through the seamless integration of Sport Jiu-Jitsu, leadership, responsibility, and physical fitness into our approach, we empower older kids to excel in BJJ while also introducing them to advanced concepts and combinations that shape their game on the mats. Our unique environment cultivates a creative spark within them, encouraging exploration and a willingness to try new things. This positive culture not only builds their confidence but also paves the way for an easier transition into our Adults programs, setting them up for success, both on and off the mats.
=> Juniors: MON/WED/FRI @ 4:50pm • THU @ 5:30pm
Our Beginners Program is designed to guide those new to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, whether they have no experience or just a minimal foundation. It focuses on enhancing mobility and flexibility while introducing the core concepts and foundations of BJJ.
The program offers an initial experience in rolling, facilitated through situational sparring. This approach ensures a safe and supportive environment where students can explore the interplay of various techniques. Central to our program is fostering the spirit of camaraderie that our school is known for, helping students feel part of our community from their very first session.
Once students have gained a foundational understanding of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and its core practices, they transition to the Advanced Program. In this stage, they delve deeper into live sparring and are introduced to a broader range of techniques and strategies.
They also have the opportunity to train alongside higher belt practitioners, gaining valuable insights and experience. Within this program, a portion of the students choose to focus on competition, while others continue on their personal journey of development, shaping their skills and character through the disciplined practice of BJJ.
Whether you’re just starting your BJJ journey or you’ve been on the mats for a while, this class is designed to cater to everyone’s needs, ensuring that both beginners and more advanced students get the most out of their training. This program is especially great for those who can’t attend the Beginners program exclusively.
Here’s how it works:
In Fundamentals, we’ll be bringing together students of all levels, from brand-new white belts without stripes, through colored belts, and up to black belts. We’ve designed this class to allow everyone to train together, but with a unique approach that tailors the instruction to your specific level.
For students seeking to refine technique details and parents desiring more personalized attention for their kids, we offer individual sessions ranging from 30 to 60 minutes. These personal sessions provide greater flexibility in scheduling and are designed to elevate your BJJ skills to advanced levels of understanding and performance.
That’s all about making you stronger, more confident, empowered, and ready to defend yourself like a pro.
Classes are taught by an experienced female instructor who knows exactly how to help you grow on and off the mats. Whether you want to build strength, master self-defense, or sharpen your mind, this is your moment.
Build Your Jiu-Jitsu, Transform Your Talent. A new program crafted so you can raise the bar of your Jiu-Jitsu game.
A concentrated six-week series where you will work closely with our founders and head professors, Marcelo Herz and Francis Abramson. Seize the opportunity to focus on curated techniques and elevate your BJJ execution within a select group.
The Approach: CRAFTED transcends the typical series of classes. It’s akin to an exclusive seminar, offering personalized guidance. The goal is not just to introduce never-before-seen techniques but also to provide clear insight into the principles that make these techniques effective, enabling you to apply them the next time you roll.
What Makes It Distinctive: Our program strikes a perfect balance between practical technique and underlying concepts. Marcelo and Francis will lead you through a BJJ experience that prioritizes clear thinking and the refinement of movements, ensuring the techniques you learn enhance your personal BJJ game.
What You Gain: By the program’s conclusion, you’ll have honed your techniques and acquired a valuable tool: the curriculum playbook. This playbook extends beyond mere reference material; it’s a comprehensive guide for ongoing practice and deepening your understanding of the nuances explored during the program’s six weeks.
