If you've ever thought about taking up martial arts for self-defense, think about what you really want to accomplish. Are you more interested in the sport aspect or safety? Your answer to that question is critical because in a "real life" attack, the real test is your ability to defend yourself. It simply doesn't matter what color belt you may have earned.

     The fact is, if you are attacked, chances are the fight will end up in a struggle on the ground. Kicks, punches, and flashy moves can't really help you in that situation. In a street attack, there are NO RULES! To win a real fight, you need to know how to defend against unpredictable moves.

     That's where Royce Gracie Jiu-Jitsu excels. Royce Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is a method of self-defense instruction that was developed to insure that students could defend themselves in a real fight. No matter what your age or physical condition, at the Gracie Academy you will learn how to use leverage and techniques to successfully defeat a larger opponent.

What is Royce Gracie Jiu-Jitsu?

Royce Gracie Jiu -Jitsu is an intellectual sport having in view its complexity. Its movements obey an increasing order of control and intelligence. Doctors, lawyers, psychologists and teachers recommend the learning of this art as a part of education, anti-psychological stress and factor of physical development the movements regulate the motor coordination improving reflexes, self confidence and control.

Royce Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is so effective that it is taught in the Military & Law Enforcement Agencies.     

Created in Brazil in the early 20th century, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu took the ground control and submissions from Judo and modified them both to be more effective as a self defense method. This form of Jiu-Jitsu enables a smaller, weaker person to be effective against a larger opponent. Our Jiu-Jitsu program uses the traditional Gi ,however, we emphasize both Gi and No Gi submissions for controlling and submitting an opponent on the ground. All techniques are useful for either sport or self defense.

Royce Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Network is an alliance of Martial Arts Academies from around the world who share a common goal; to deliver the best Jiu-Jitsu instruction under the supervision of Royce Gracie to students.

The Royce Gracie Jiu-Jitsu™ Network Chapter of Bedford Hills is the only training environment sanctioned by legendary no holds barred champion Royce Gracie.

The Gracie's first gained mainstream recognition in the United States when Royce Gracie, at 175 lbs. he stunned the world by winning the Ultimate Fighting Championship three times. His superior ground fighting and submission techniques forever changed the way men viewed Martial Arts. 
Today it is widely acknowledged that without excellent ground fighting skills, your ability to defend yourself is dangerously incomplete. 

The Gracie legacy dates back over 65 years to Brazil where Royce's father Helio became a national sports hero for his undefeated record in no holds barred fights and for the development of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. 

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced martial artist, why not incorporate Royce Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, the world's ultimate ground fighting and submission system into your self defense skills.

With the growing popularity of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and success of the Ultimate Fighter reality television series, more and more people are becoming interested in Mixed Martial Arts (“MMA” or “No-Holds-Barred” or “NHB”) competition, especially in Westchester, NY and the greater New York area. MMA is a style of competition in which fighters are allowed to use both striking and grappling martial arts to achieve victory by knockout (“KO”), submission ("tap out"), technical knockout/referee stoppage (“TKO”) or judges' decision. Royce Gracie Jiu-Jitsu offers a variety of training opportunities to students interested in MMA, and our Premier Training course, which consists of Muay Thai Kickboxing, Haganah, and Royce Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, gives students the skills they need to excel in mixed martial arts competition.

In MMA, Muay Thai is an excellent compliment to Jiu-Jitsu, because it focuses exclusively on the striking range of combat. Thai Boxing is widely regarded as a superior striking art for Mixed Martial Arts because the art includes only the most effective striking techniques. In other words, Thai boxing practitioners learn the clinch, knees, punches, kicks and elbows that are proven in MMA competition and, as such, are typically the most feared strikers in MMA.

In The Premier Training MMA Course students enroll in both the Royce Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Haganah Self-Defense Course and the PMA Muay Thai Kick Boxing program. The combined programs give each student the conditioning and technical skill necessary to break into the MMA world.
