Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) has its roots in the Gracie family, a legendary dynasty that revolutionized martial arts in the early 20th century. Carlos Gracie, a student of Maeda, adapted and perfected traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu to create a discipline based on technique, strategy, and efficiency.
The Gracies popularized BJJ worldwide, demonstrating its effectiveness in international competitions and creating an art accessible to everyone, regardless of age or size.
Renzo Gracie, a prominent family member, founded renowned academies to teach this discipline. Today, Renzo Gracie Laval continues this legacy by offering structured and adaptable classes for all.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) focuses on grappling and submission techniques. It emphasizes using the opponent's strength and weight, prioritizing technique and precision over brute force. It’s a discipline suited for all body types.
Traditional Jiu-Jitsu is a complete martial art that includes strikes, throws, and immobilizations. While effective, it focuses more on self-defense techniques with a formal style and less on modern sports competition.
Every new student receives guidance tailored to their needs and pace, ensuring optimal growth according to personal goals.
We instill core values like respect, discipline, and ethics to help our students thrive on and off the mats.
Heirs to the Gracie family's excellence, we offer high-quality classes rooted in the authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tradition.
