Gracie Barra Cloverdale Story

We seek to train body, mind and spirit through the highest level of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instruction. We envision the art as a vehicle for individual development and the strengthening of the family spirit, going beyond the winning-losing or contest philosophy.

– Master Carlos Gracie, Jr. –

WHAT WE CARE FOR!

Why Jiu Jitsu?

The benefits of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu are far reaching and will touch every aspect of your life. At Gracie Barra Cloverdale,  our students become leaders. Jiu-Jitsu nurtures your independent thinking, supports your fighting spirit, and helps you achieve your personal Jiu Jitsu goals.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is for anyone who wants to learn how to defend him or herself. What most people don’t know, is that Jiu Jitsu will also allow you to apply those same principles to fighting the daily battles of life, like weight loss, stress and self-confidence. You will learn how to think through problems more constructively than before, on and off the mats.

Different Mindset

Jiu-Jitsu requires a high level of mental focus, and to have this. You have to train each day, eat the correct quantity of food, and get rid of everything that distracts your focus.

Applying what you learned from Jiu-Jitsu, like controlling your anger, having more ample patience, or showing respect to anyone, is a habit that’s worth holding.

Purpose and fulfillment

The final sign that you’re really into Jiu-Jitsu is that it gives you a sense of purpose and fulfillment every day. Finding your life’s purpose gives you a sense of satisfaction. You know what you enjoy doing, what you excel at, and how you can make a difference in the world.
If martial arts can make you feel that way, we can assume that martial arts have taken over your life.
