Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers about our Advanced Martial Arts Program.
I hate doing gym workouts, I find them boring. Will this be similar?
Some describe sparring in jiu-jitsu as “Meditation” because they are only focused on the present moment at all times during their sessions. They are not thinking about their to-do list that day, only what they will do next in their jiu-jitsu “human chess match.”
For this reason, it is one of the most fun and mentally challenging workouts that can still be self-paced. We have seen individuals start from all fitness levels gain confidence and stamina on the mat through their jiu-jitsu practice.
Do I have to compete?
No. At Gracie University, we are not a competition-focused gym. Our first priority for our martial arts students is that they learn the fundamentals of self-defense. What you need to do to survive against an aggressive, untrained opponent may be different than what you would need to learn for a sport jiu-jitsu tournament.
We support the individual jiu-jitsu journeys of each one of our students, regardless of whether they choose to test their skills in competition.
How long until I get a Black Belt?
On average, it takes a minimum of 10 years of jiu-jitsu practice to become a Black Belt, but it can be shorter or longer depending on the frequency of training.
I train jiu-jitsu at another school. Can I join Master Cycle?
Often, yes. You keep your belt, and depending on your experience you may also work through the Gracie Combatives classes. Contact us and we'll tell you where you'd start.
