What the World is Saying

"I've done over two dozen seminars with some of the most accomplished martial artists in the world. The attention to detail and the passion for teaching are what make Ryron and Rener the best instructors I've ever come across."
Isaac Harris

"I've been doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for over 16 years, and the Gracie Combatives® course by Ryron and Rener Gracie is by far the best instructional DVD series I have ever seen. The smoothness of the instruction, and the fact that these techniques definitely work in real fights proves once and for all that Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is the best!"

"Thanks to both of you. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu has changed my life forever."

"I've been in martial arts for 25 years. It has been nearly impossible to train in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu due to my location. This system is genius and groundbreaking. Grand Master Helio Gracie would be proud!"

"This is not a question but a statement of FACT! I have been watching the Gracie Combatives® DVDs, and practicing along, and I'm telling anyone who wants to learn how to fight; get these DVDs. They explain things so well and are consistent throughout all the lessons. You will even start talking like the Gracie Brothers! Seriously take the time and invest in this program—you won't regret it."

"Hi guys! I and a friend have recently purchased the Gracie Combatives® DVDs and are on our way to learning the principles of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. I am a director of a school for children with special needs, and throughout my career, modifying curriculums and devising programs for kids has been my number one goal. I am dazzled by the way Ryron and Rener have managed to produce instructional lessons with high pedagogical standards. You may find it interesting to know that I often use Gracie Combatives® video clips to demonstrate to my teaching staff how a good task analysis of a complex skill should look like. Well done guys!"

"Let me start by saying that I have received my DVD's and I love them. Some of the things that I like the most about your program are the Reflex Development Drills, the Fight Simulation Drills, the details of all of your techniques, and the outline that comes in the booklet. And the poster I got, which provides me with a visual image of the way all the techniques fit together, is very helpful! Great job guys! I look forward to learning your complete system."

"This is amazing. Ryron and Rener have started a whole new revolution."

"I've recently purchased and have been working through the Gracie Combatives® system. Incredible content! I've been to other BJJ schools and have also done martial arts for 15 years. This is the best instruction I've ever received, period. Even in-person instruction at other schools doesn't compare. And once you get the techniques down, they are so easy to do. I'm impressed at not only the quality of instruction, but that the techniques take very minimal effort to perform. For someone like me, who has a tremendous amount of arthritis at such a young age, 38, these lessons and techniques seem like a Godsend. It seems that every minute or so of watching and practicing I'm saying out loud, "This stuff is genius!!" Thank you Ryron and Rener, and thanks to your grandfather."

"The Gracie Combatives® course is first class with absolutely incredible material! I am 48 and currently taking your course with my two sons, ages 13 and 19, and we are not only having a blast, but we are learning vital fighting skills that could save our lives if we ever had to use them in a real fight! Let me say this: If there are any skeptics in the crowd, they will only need to go through about 4 or 5 lessons to be completely convinced that the Gracie Combatives®® course is thorough, exciting, explosive, effective, balanced and very well-thought-out! This course in anything but easy -- on the contrary, it's appropriately challenging. Yet, you present the information in a way so that even those of us who have no prior martial arts training can easily understand it and execute the moves with pure confidence. The things I've learned in the Gracie Combatives® course have changed the way I would defend myself and my family forever. Thank you for creating and protecting the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu legacy and methods. You are helping many of us become equipped to effectively protect our families for the first time in our lives!"
