About Roger Gracie Academy

# Roger Gracie Academy

At Roger Gracie Academy in London, we are proud to carry forward the legacy of the Gracie family through our direct affiliation with Renzo Gracie, one of the most respected figures in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu history. This connection isn't merely a name—it represents our commitment to authentic lineage, proven techniques, and the values that have defined the Gracie approach to grappling for generations. Our instructors have trained extensively within the Renzo Gracie family network, ensuring that students benefit from direct knowledge transfer and the same principled approach to BJJ that has shaped competitors and martial artists worldwide.

Our training philosophy centers on technical mastery, positional control, and the development of intelligent, efficient grappling. We believe that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu should be accessible to everyone—whether you're walking through our doors as a complete beginner or an experienced competitor looking to refine your game. We emphasize proper fundamentals and position-before-submission, creating an environment where students progress safely while building genuine confidence. Classes are structured to accommodate all levels, from our Fundamentals program designed for newcomers to our advanced competition team, and we maintain an inclusive atmosphere where training partners support each other's development.

Whether you're looking to start your BJJ journey or continue an existing practice, we welcome you to join us on the mats. We understand that stepping into an academy can feel daunting, but our community is built on respect, patience, and genuine enthusiasm for the art. We're committed to helping you discover what Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can offer—whether that's fitness, self-defense, competition, or simply the rewards of disciplined practice alongside people who share your dedication.
