About Lakeville CTC

# Lakeville CTC

At Lakeville CTC, we're proud to be part of the Certified Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Training Centers network, which means our instructors are directly certified and authorized by the Gracie family to teach their time-tested techniques and principles. This affiliation ensures that every student who walks through our doors learns authentic Gracie Jiu-Jitsu—the same lineage and methodologies that have defined the art for generations. Being part of this certified network also connects us to a larger community of academies committed to maintaining the highest standards of instruction and the core values of respect, discipline, and continuous improvement that the Gracie family built their legacy on.

Our training philosophy centers on making Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu accessible to everyone, regardless of age, size, or experience level. We believe that technique always beats strength, and we emphasize this principle in every class—from our kids' programs to our advanced adult levels. We focus on building a supportive environment where students feel comfortable learning at their own pace, asking questions, and rolling with partners who challenge them appropriately. Whether you're interested in self-defense, competition, or simply staying active and learning something new, we tailor our approach to your goals while keeping the fundamental Gracie principles front and center.

We offer programs for the entire family: kids' classes that build confidence and coordination, fundamentals programs for adults just starting their Jiu-Jitsu journey, and advanced classes for those training toward their next belt rank or competition goals. If you're new to Jiu-Jitsu, we invite you to come in for a trial class with no pressure—just come as you are and experience what our community is all about. We're here to guide you through every step of your Jiu-Jitsu journey in Lakeville.
