• 1. PICKING A SCHOOL BASED MAINLY ON PRICE.
  Of course, most people have to consider price as one of the factors, however the old saying you get what you pay for still holds true. Not all instructors and programs are created equal. We are one of over 800 schools globally that follow a well tested and professional program. Be careful to ensure that your so called “expert” instructor wasn’t someone who was flipping burgers for a living just last week.
  
  
• 2. NOT CONSIDERING THE COURSE STRUCTURE
  We have a Class Program Structure that was developed by Master Carlos Gracie Jr, the son of Grand Master Carlos Gracie Sr, the founder of Brazilian Jiu Jujitsu. Gracie Barra Surfers Paradise represents discipline, wellness, family, respect and so much more for anyone wanting to embrace Jiu Jujitsu and a healthy lifestyle. Our programs are specifically targeted to three specific categories: men, women and kids.
  
  
• 3. NOT DOING THE HOMEWORK BEFORE SIGNING UP
  Your due diligence should include an in person discussion with the instructor, a couple of free trial classes with us, and a review of social media to see what people are saying about the school. Our instructors are all professional, knowledgeable, patient, and compassionate. The proof is that we have over 3000 people that like us and follow us on social media platforms and a fast growing school of students who love joining us on the mats.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is one of the safest full contact martial arts for practitioners. Its injury rate is significantly lower than other forms of martial arts including judo and taekwondo and is also considered much safer than boxing.

It is similar to wrestling, which also uses grappling instead of striking.
