New to jiu-jitsu? Start here.

You don’t need experience to begin. Your first class starts with Fundamentals, giving you an introduction to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and a chance to see what training here feels like.

Maybe you’re looking for a new challenge, a way to stay active or something that’s yours outside of work. You can start with that. There’s no requirement to compete, and you don’t need to have your whole jiu-jitsu journey figured out before your first class.

Fundamentals - all levels

Our Fundamentals program follows Gracie Barra’s 16-week curriculum, combining practical self-defense with the foundations of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The curriculum runs on a continuous cycle, so you can begin any week without waiting for a new course to start. At Westchase, a dedicated black belt helps you work through the class routine and understand the movements, so you’re supported from your first session. Each cycle gives you the opportunity to revisit techniques, strengthen your understanding and build confidence in applying them.

Midday: Monday–Thursday and Saturday, 12 PM

No-Gi BJJ

Our No-Gi program brings the intensity of competitive grappling to the training room. Expect a fast pace, hard scrambles and challenging rounds that demand quick decisions and precise technique. With world champions and ADCC veterans under our roof, Westchase offers a strong training environment for athletes dedicated to the competition side of the sport.

Competition BJJ

Monday and Wednesday, 9:30 AM · Blue-belt level

These are the competition-focused sessions on the schedule. Bring your belt, experience and event date when you talk with the coaching team so they can point you toward the right rules work, specific drills and live rounds.

A strong team, built over time

We’re proud to have multiple world champions and ADCC veterans under our roof. That competitive experience is part of what makes this room special.

So are the people who train around careers, school and family life. Some have competition goals. Others want to keep learning and make training a consistent part of their week. All of them help make this a team worth coming back to.

Black belts with roots here

Many of the black belts you’ll see on our mats have spent years training here. They kept showing up, grew as martial artists and became part of the life of this academy.

To us, that says something important about this place. People have spent years of their lives here because Gracie Barra Westchase feels like a second home. We want new students to feel that sense of belonging, too.
