Gracie Barra is in the process of revamping the way its entire line of academies in Brazil operates, aligning them with the concept developed by Master Carlos Gracie Jr.

All the team’s schools that responded to the memo will have the right to the Gracie Barra Brazil Association support service. This support is rendered through the association email (associacao@graciebarra.com) and two MSN accounts on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from noon to 5pm (ricardotestai@hotmail.com e gutogb-@hotmail.com).
Here’s what associates serve to gain:

Download link for the implementation guide for Gracie Barra school standardization.

Link to documents and pictures to be hung on the walls, as well as the entire class syllabus structure.

Login information to access video classes.

Registration orientation for teachers on GB Shop (Gracie Barra official shop) with special discounts.

All this is basically the support system for implementing 100% the guidelines for becoming an official Gracie Barra school.

Two-time Jiu-Jitsu world champion Flávio “Cachorrinho” Almeida is in Brazil, where he is working on implementing his Gracie Barra Premium Schools system.

Cachorrinho caught up with old friends and remembered the old days, when he worked hard on the mats of the team headquarters, in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro. Over there, he led the training session alongside Jefferson Moura and taught some positions.

Check out two of the positions taught: One sweep to mount and one armbar variation.
