WHY

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.

Advancing Skills and Confidence

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.

BEGINNERS

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.

ADVANCED

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.

PRIVATE SESSIONS

These personal sessions provide greater flexibility in scheduling and are designed to elevate your BJJ skills to advanced levels of understanding and performance.

WOMEN SELF-DEFENSE

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, as revered by many masters including the Gracies, stands on several key pillars, one of which is self-defense. We have structured our self-defense curriculum into distinct blocks, allowing students to engage and master techniques over a period of 4 to 8 weeks. Each course is tailored to focus on specific skills.

A significant portion of our courses is dedicated to women, aiming to provide them with essential skills in awareness, empowerment, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques. These courses are thoughtfully designed to instill confidence and practical self-defense capabilities that are rooted in the philosophies and techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
