Dear GM Gracie,
As your humble student may I offer the following testimonial on the Academy's behalf:

Over the past fourteen years, I have had the great privilege of learning jiu-jitsu directly from several members of the Gracie family and other top practitioners from Brazil. I can say without hesitation that Grandmaster Reylson Gracie offers the best path for those who wish to learn his family's unique system. I believe there are two basic reasons for this.

First, Grandmaster Reylson emphasizes self-defense and the practical aspects of jiu-jitsu over sport competition. Most people who seek out the martial arts are primarily interested in how to effectively protect themselves and their loved ones. Most are not primarily drawn to jiu-jitsu for the purpose of winning a trophy for their school (which has become, regrettably, the sole focus of most jiu-jitsu teachers).

Secondly, Grandmaster Reylson offers a well thought-out, sequential program of instruction for the individual student. This alone puts him light years ahead of other jiu-jitsu teachers. In the typical academy that offers Brazilian jiu-jitsu, instruction can be disorganized, haphazard and of uneven quality. Advancement in these schools is uncertain and limited only to those who are superior natural athletes.
Grandmaster Reylson's program is the great equalizer that opens Gracie Jiu-jitsu to all people from all walks of life who want to learn its power. In this way, Grandmaster Reylson remains uniquely true to the vision of his father Carlos Gracie, the founder of Gracie Jiu-jitsu.

I live in Southern California where I have access to the largest selection of Brazilian jiu-jitsu teachers outside of Rio. Even so, I find it more than worthwhile to regularly make the trip all the way to Las Vegas to study the original Gracie system from Grandmaster Reylson Gracie and his well qualified staff of instructors.

When I first heard about Reylson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, I thought it would be one of those one room buildings with one instructor and 10 or 20 kids. It's not that at all. Every time I go to Jiu-Jitsu it is always one on one.

 I have been going for over 2 years.  Jiu-Jitsu is very fun even though it is hard work.  I look forward to my lesson all week. The instructors are very lively and humorous.  In the beginning it was difficult because I was so shy.  I am not so shy anymore.  Jiu-jitsu is very challenging but I really enjoy it.  I work hard and the other people here respect me.
