Adults BJJ Classes

The adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program at Gracie Barra Boynton Beach is built on the same structured Gracie Barra curriculum used at more than 1,000 affiliated schools worldwide. Professor Sergio Costa, a 3rd-degree black belt and IBJJF World Championship medalist, leads every session with a teaching approach shaped by years of competition experience and instruction across two Gracie Barra locations in South Florida.

Every adult student — regardless of prior experience — begins in GB1 Fundamentals. This is not a short beginner track before you are shuffled into the general population. GB1 is the documented foundation of the Gracie Barra curriculum: essential positions, escapes from dangerous situations, basic sweeps, and core submissions taught systematically over weeks and months. You learn what to do in each position before you are asked to apply it under pressure. The curriculum maps your progress so there is no guesswork about what to work on next.

For practitioners with existing experience, advanced classes and open mat sessions provide the intensity and technical variety needed to sharpen your game. Prof. Costa evaluates where returning students fit in the curriculum and places them accordingly. Competitive students who want to test their skills have access to the Gracie Barra competition team, with coaching support and structured preparation for IBJJF and local Florida tournaments.

The class schedule at Gracie Barra Boynton Beach is built for real life — morning sessions before work, midday options for those with flexible schedules, and evening classes that run through the week. Training three times a week is the standard recommendation for steady technical progress; the schedule is designed to make that frequency achievable without rearranging your life.
