Gracie Barra BJJ: Weeks 9-12

This is the new Gracie Barra Fundamentals Curriculum; version 2.0.

Remembering the techniques from class can be difficult, especially for the beginner. The new Gracie Barra Fundamentals Curriculum v_2.0 helps students stay connected to their Jiu-Jitsu training. The techniques are available on the iTunes App Store, for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. Now students can take their techniques with them anywhere they go. Having the ability to review the lessons from class will help accelerate the learning process. If you don’t have an Apple device, don’t worry. Gracie Barra will soon be releasing an “On Demand” version that will stream to your computer and mobile devices. There are also plans to release a Portuguese language version soon.

The new Gracie Barra Fundamentals consists of 16 weeks of training that are divided into 4 mobile apps. Each app contains 4 weeks of lessons. Carlos Gracie Jr. and his team developed the new curriculum with feedback and input from hundreds of Gracie Barra Black Belt’s including Marcio Feitosa, Ricardo Almeida, Nelson Monteiro, Vinícius “Draculino”, José “Radiola”, Eduardo de Lima, Nao Takigawa, Carlos Liberi, Marcelo Rezende, Aparecido Bill, Braulio Estima, Romulo Barral and many others. These lessons are intended to give the beginner a solid foundation in the basics of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and self-defense. Ricardo Almeida is a veteran of the UFC and Pride Fighting Championship and is a 3rd degree BJJ Black Belt. Marcio Feitosa is a 4th degree BJJ Black Belt, an 8 time World Championship finalist, winning 3 gold and 5 silver medals, and a 6 time Pan American Champion. Gracie Barra teamed up with Mobile Black Belt to produce the new series. Each technique is filmed from a variety of angles, in slow motion and real time and Marcio’s voice over explains the key points of each technique.
