With our proven systems in place at Certified Training Centers (CTCs) all over the world, it was time to sell it to the world. Leveraging off the meteoric rise of the UFC, we started doing Gracie Breakdowns with the sole objective of engaging MMA fans and encouraging them to give Gracie Jiu-Jitsu a chance. So far, we’ve accumulated over 125 million views (on YouTube alone), inspiring hundreds of thousands of people to step on the mat for the first time!

SHORT LEGS? DON’T MAKE THIS MISTAKE!
When it comes to the Triangle Choke, people are usually in such a hurry to lock it up that they skip this critical step. 💯

To maximize your chances of getting a full lockup, push off the opponent and walk your hips/shoulders back until your femur is positioned vertically. Doing this will maximize your leg length and facilitate the lockup, especially when you have short legs! Try this on your quarantine team and let me know how it helps! 🥋

To help you continue learning from home, we’ve unlocked 30 free lessons from all of our most popular online programs at GracieUniversity.com! GU is the only 100% linear BJJ curriculum on the web so ANYONE can learn, regardless of your experience level! Best of all, if you put in the work (with a quarantined training partner) you can actually earn progress towards official belt promotions via live testing at a Certified Training Center (once the virus passes). 😷

Free to register and no credit card required! If you’re hungry for more, we’re offering 20% off individual course purchases and 40% off on ALL subscriptions programs (ant this discount will stay with you for the life of your subscription membership)!

Now, more than ever, cleanliness of a jiu-jitsu school is paramount, and no where is cleanliness more important than the mats on which you and your students spend hours training on each day.

If you currently own a BJJ school, OR your dream is to open one, choosing what kind of mats to go with is one of the biggest decisions you’ll have to make: Do you go the pre-fab route OR do you do it yourself?

In this video, Rener breaks down the pros and cons for each method, and then he shows you the exact method currently being used at Gracie University Headquarters in Torrance, CA, to minimize cost, eliminate the cracks, and maximize cleanliness.

There are three primary components when it comes to the Gracie Mat Making Process: 1) Foam, 2) Vinyl, and 3) Wall Panels.

Foam Configurations
Best Quality Configuration: Polyethylene Foam (1.5”) under Ensolite Foam (0.5”)
Best Value Configuration (and great quality): Volara Foam (1 3/8”)
For specific pricing and best recommendations, call the foam master, Joe, at (310) 391-3626 or email joseph@foammart.com. Tell him you want the “Gracie Special” for an extra 10% off. He loves the jiu-jitsu connection!

Vinyl Mat Cover

For detailed pricing quotes call the vinyl legend, Bob Henderson, at 714-637-6300 or email him at Bob@Polyfabrics.com. He’s been doing this for decades and if you tell him you need a mat cover for a martial arts school, give him the dimensions, and he’ll take it from there.

Wall Panels

Each standard wall panel is made out of ½” plywood backing and 1.5” soft foam (ask Joe about the exact type we use at GU since I forgot). As for the upholstery that we use to cover the foam and connect it to the wall panel, you can use Ottortex Marine Vinyl which comes in 54”-wide rolls that can be found here in all kinds of colors: https://www.fabricwholesaledirect.com/products/marine-vinyl-fabric?variant=41720758028&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8peQz5r_5wIVk-NkCh0VfQuKEAQYAyABEgJ5kvD_BwE

If you have any questions about materials or pricing, please contact the respective vinyl and foam experts as they will be able to help you better than we will.

Bonus Tips

-Duct Tape: When you are putting the foam down, use duct tape along the seams to prevent them from shifting under the vinyl over time.

-Wood Frame: You’ll need a wood frame around the perimeter of the mat in order to staple down the hook side of the Velcro. We used 2x4s, but depending on the thickness of the foam configuration you end up going with, you’ll want to adjust the thickness of the wood accordingly so that the height of the mat and the wood are similar.

-Wall Panels: Make sure you are consistent with how you fold the corners of the wall panel upholstery. Anyone with decent gift wrapping skills can help you make them look pretty. Also, make sure you screw the French cleat (z-bar) at the studs, if you just fixate them to the drywall, they won’t hold for long once the mat is hanging from in.

-Staple Gun: When it comes time to staple the Velcro down to the wood frame AND the upholstery to the plywood for the wall panels, you will want to use a high-power staple gun, preferably a Pneumatic Air Staple Gun (which you can rent or borrow).

Now that you’ve got the secrets to the best mat-making process in the industry, come learn the best jiu-jitsu programs on the planet! Remember, we only certify ONE school in each territory to utilize our systems, so the first step is to see if your territory is available, and if it is, you can reserve it for up to 12 months while you learn the material you’ll need for instructor certification. Check your territory availability at http://www.GracieInstructor.com.

Regardless of your rank or affiliation, if you’ve ever dreamt of teaching jiu-jitsu, OR you own a BJJ school and aren’t getting the results you want, this may be the most important business meeting of your life. Have your notebook ready, we start at 11am (PST) sharp on Monday.

A man was shot twice in an altercation with two police officers in a Chicago subway station. Although the man is expected to survive, the FBI is reviewing the incident for possible criminal charges against the officers involved. Rener takes you through the incident and then shares his thoughts on exactly how and why things escalated so quickly.

Chicago Police Department, in the wake of this unfortunate incident, we’d like two of the head instructors from your department to attend any GST Instructor Course scheduled for this year, 2020. Please review the course schedule at http://www.GracieUniversity.com/GST and when you’ve made your selection, contact GST@GracieUniversity.com we’ll take it from there.

Police Chiefs across the United States, Gracie Survival Tactics (GST) is specifically designed to increase officer survivability and control tactics, while minimizing the level of force used in each encounter. GST is a 5-day train-the-trainer course and is conducted almost every week of the year at police departments across the country. To learn more about bringing GST to your department, visit http://www.GracieUniversity.com/GST. The training you do, or don’t, provide your officers, will affect the rest of their lives and we’re here to help.
