Instructor Certification Program

Along with the development of a formalized curriculum, a standardized teaching methodology, and an interactive online learning center, came the opportunity for dedicated martial artists from around the world to join the Gracie Academy in its quest to make the complete Gracie Jiu-Jitsu curriculum available to students around the globe in accordance to the exacting standards of Grand Master Helio Gracie.

Due to the segmented nature of the curriculum, a Gracie Academy accredited school can be recognized at one of four certification levels. Each level requires successful completion of a highly comprehensive instructor certification course which consists of live training at the Gracie Academy headquarters in Torrance, California, as well as extensive online learning at www.GRACIEUNIVERSITY.com.
