About GB Fort Myers

# GB Fort Myers

At GB Fort Myers, we're proud to be part of the Gracie Barra lineage, one of the most respected and largest Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu organizations in the world. This affiliation means we uphold the same technical standards, instructor certifications, and commitment to the art that have made Gracie Barra synonymous with quality jiu-jitsu. Our connection to this global family also gives our students access to seminars, competitions, and a network of academies across the country and internationally—a huge advantage whether you're looking to deepen your training or compete at a higher level.

Our training philosophy centers on technical precision and the fundamental movements that build a lasting jiu-jitsu foundation. We believe that rushing through belts doesn't create better practitioners; instead, we focus on positions, transitions, and escapes that work regardless of strength or athleticism. Whether you're a complete beginner stepping onto the mat for the first time or an experienced grappler working toward your black belt, our classes are structured to meet you where you are. We blend live rolling with technique-focused instruction, so you develop both the knowledge and the practical feel that separates surface-level jiu-jitsu from the kind that actually works.

We offer programs for all ages and experience levels—kids classes that build confidence and fundamental movement skills, fundamentals courses for adults new to the art, and advanced classes for our higher belts preparing for competition or deepening their understanding of positional mastery. What matters most to us is that you walk through the door. We welcome every person curious about jiu-jitsu with an open mat and genuine support, because we remember what it felt like to be a beginner, and we believe everyone has the potential to fall in love with this art.
