Royce Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy of Raleigh is the only official Royce Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Network school in Raleigh. Our focus is on real-world self-defense.
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is the most effective martial art in the world today. Striking, clinching, takedowns, and submissions are all integral parts of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. The most unique aspect of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is ground techniques. It’s commonly held that most fights end up on the ground, and the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu practitioner has an elevated knowledge of ground-based techniques.
At the heart of everything that we do is our passion for education and our commitment to our students. Our Instructors are experienced practitioners, certified by Royce Gracie to teach Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.
We train all experience levels! Join us today!
Everyone has their own personal reasons for deciding to train in martial arts. Some want to get in shape, relieve stress, gain confidence, or to be more disciplined. Those who choose to train jiu-jitsu specifically do so because of its effectiveness in real-world self-defense scenarios as well as hand-to-hand combat. With consistent training in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, anyone can learn to overcome their attacker, regardless of size or strength level.
There is no better tool to address bullying, domestic violence, or sexual assault than jiu-jitsu. It is an absolute must for law enforcement officers.
Always assume that your opponent is going to be bigger, stronger and faster than you; so that you learn to rely on technique, timing and leverage rather than brute strength.
Kickboxing is a group of martial arts and stand-up combat sports based on kicking and punching, historically developed from Karate, Muay Thai, and Western boxing. Kickboxing is practiced for self-defense, general fitness, or as a contact sport. Japanese kickboxing originates in the 1960s, with competitions held since the 1960s. American kickboxing originates in the 1970s. Japanese kickboxing developed into K-1 in 1993. Historically, kickboxing can be considered a hybrid martial art formed from the combination of elements of various traditional styles. This approach became increasingly popular since the 1970s, and since the 1990s, kickboxing has contributed to the emergence of mixed martial arts via further hybridization with ground fighting techniques from jujutsu and collegiate wrestling.
Here at Royce Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in Raleigh, we teach kickboxing in a safe and pleasant environment. Our team strives to teach proper techniques that will promote physical fitness, confidence, and self-defense. Let our experienced staff help you achieve your future goals.
Judo is a Japanese martial art derived from jiu-jitsu that aims to strengthen the mind as well as the body. Students will learn to control and subdue their opponent using grips, holds, and throws. It was introduced to the general public in a more mainstream setting in 1964 when it was added to the Summer Olympics Games in Tokyo. While the practice of Judo is physical, the concept is an all-encompassing practice of physical, moral, and mental teachings.
