At our school kids, young adults and adults can train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) for self-defense, fitness, competition or personal well-being. We welcome new students from beginners to experienced practitioners who want to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and self defense.

Our head instructor, Marcos Barros is a black belt in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and the only instructor in Springfield, IL who has been given permission to teach Gracie Barra Jiu-Jitsu from the Gracie Academy in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Marcos trained directly under Carlos Gracie Jr., whose father founded and refined the lost art of Japanese Jiu-Jitsu and what has become known today as Gracie Barra Jiu-Jitsu.

You will find that the combination of classes at Gracie Barra Springfield will develop your confidence in self defense,competition training and submission techniques in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
