About Knysna CTC

# Knysna CTC

At Knysna CTC, we're proud to be part of the Certified Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Training Centers network, which means we uphold the highest standards of authentic Gracie Jiu-Jitsu instruction. Our affiliation connects us to a lineage of excellence that traces back to the Gracie family's pioneering work in the art, ensuring that every technique we teach, every principle we emphasize, and every belt we award reflects the true spirit of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. This certification isn't just a credential on our wall—it's a commitment we live out every day on the mat, guaranteeing that our students learn the real deal from instructors who understand both the technical and philosophical foundations of the gentle art.

Our training philosophy centers on realistic, practical Jiu-Jitsu that works for bodies of all shapes, sizes, and ages. We believe that Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is fundamentally about leverage and technique over strength, and we make sure this principle guides everything from our fundamental classes to our advanced rolling sessions. Whether you're a complete beginner stepping onto the mat for the first time or a experienced grappler refining your game, we structure our programs—including kids' classes, fundamentals, all-levels, and competition-focused training—so that everyone progresses at their own pace while building genuine connections with their training partners. We emphasize positional dominance, intelligent submissions, and, most importantly, taking care of your training partners so that everyone can train hard and train often.

If you're new to Jiu-Jitsu, we want you to know that Knysna CTC is a place where you belong. We've built a welcoming community that celebrates the journey of learning, where questions are encouraged and effort is always respected. Come try a free class and experience the transformation that only Jiu-Jitsu can bring—we're here in beautiful Knysna, ready to help you discover what you're truly capable of.
