Aside from the obvious benefits associated with making our curriculum available around the world on Fugu's industry leading technological platform, Gracie University's growth has had an enormous waterfall effect on the entire organization. Through our Gracie Garage Affiliate Program, we have extended our brand into almost every country and with our Online Instructor Certification Program we have established over 100 Certified Training Centers around the world. The demand for live seminars has tripled and Gracie Gear sales have increased 35-40% every year over the last four years. Most importantly, customer loyalty and global brand recognition are growing at an unprecedented rate, and with the cutting-edge initiatives Fugu has in store for us, we don't plan on slowing down any time soon.

I found this site by accident while looking for a Praying Mantis school in my local area I recently relocated to. Unfortunately there are none.
My martial arts training comes from being ex military, and civilian law enforcement. Also I am a student of Wing Chun. Because of past training in Wing Chun solo practice is not difficult for me, so I figured I would give the online university a shot. I have found this decision to be one of the best decisions I have made regarding my martial arts education.
What I have learned so far has been absolutely amazing. The immediate difference from Sifu Daily and other instructors I have had is that he describes the practical applications for every technique and how to use them in a real scenario from the start. For example: Sifu Daily explained in detail how the stances are actual tactical maneuvers, and not mere fixed fighting positions. He then shows how to use them for actual attack and defense. I have never experienced stances taught this way. This was the class that sold me on committing to the entire course.
The realism of this course is cannot be understated! If you are looking for realistic Kung Fu training to defend yourself this is the course to take!

Hi guys, i'm a brown belt from France (i'm french/korean) and i would normally not write a review, but i'm really impressed by your site. I subscribed in the past to a lot of bjj sites, and gracie university is by far the best one. The quality and the video give a depth understanding of the whole position and not only an individual move. Plus the curriculum gives a solid foundation for a solid jiu jitsu. I love it, just a quick message to show some love. I tought at the beginning the site was a bit pricey, but now i think it definitely worth it.

This is fantastic! I’m learning the techniques, asking questions, and testing for belt promotions from over a thousand miles away. I feel like I’m actually training at the Gracie Academy! In fact, the system is so good that I’ve been able to share the experience with my wife and two sons.

I recently started the blue belt qualification program with a friend from my local BJJ school and have to say the level of instruction and detail are amazing. It’s even better than actual live class, I find myself understanding and perfecting techniques I had already learned like the Americana armlock. My level of retention for every move is now 100%. The way Rener and Ryron go into the detail of every technique is just an amazing learning experience. I’m actually combining my training at my local BJJ school with the combatives curriculum and loving it. Heck!! I’m seriously considering taking some time off my BJJ school to dedicate fulltime to my Gracie blue belt certification.

Our users love the WorldDoc Health Learning Center. It is consistently one of our most popular tools to explain complex health issues in an understandable manner.

These lessons are the best. I am 62 years old and I feel like i have reduced it by at least 15 years in the 6 weeks or so I have been training. The moves are getting easier and I can string a few things together. My optimism in general has lifted and I really enjoy the way the boys teach. I wish I had a bond with my brothers like theirs. I cant wait to be able to put all the moves from the Combatives lessons together. Thanks heaps, I am so glad I was introduced to this University.

I just checked out the new Gracie University Mobile Functionality on my smartphone. It is awesome! This will make it so much easier for me to watch the videos at my Gracie Garage, there is no wifi but the 3G connection works perfectly! The way set up the lessons and the multiple buffer options for slow or fast connections is great, since it allows us to load the lessons while we practice so that we are never waiting for the data! Another huge step forward for Gracie University and Distance Education as a whole!

Hi guys! Congrats on such a well developed site! I and a friend have recently purchased the Gracie Combatives and are on our way to learn the principles of GJJ. I am director of a school for children with special needs, throughout my career modifying curriculum and devising programs for kids has been my number one goal. I am dazzled by the way Ryron and Rener have managed to make such instructional lessons with high pedagogical standards. You may find it interesting to know that I often use Combatives video clips to demonstrate to my teaching staff how a good task analysis of a complex skill should look like. Well done guys!
