Ralph Gracie Orange County was one of the first Jiu-Jitsu schools in the area when Ralph Gracie’s black belt Brad Jackson opened a school in Placentia in January 2001. Built from humble beginnings, Ralph Gracie OC gradually outgrew its Placentia location and moved to its current two-story Anaheim location in January 2008. As a reminder of the small gym roots and history, the Placentia mat was transported and currently serves as Mat #2.
Ralph Gracie Orange County continues the tradition of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu that has been passed down through the generations.
Bruno “Mamute” Paulista, world champion, professional MMA fighter and famous for having one of the best open guards in Jiu-Jitsu, has been teaching since 2004.

In 2007 Bruno moved to the United States, where he currently teaches and trains.
