The Course
Although Gracie Jiu-Jitsu consists of more than 600 techniques, studies of the fights conducted by members of the Gracie Family show that 36 techniques have been used more often, and with greater success, than all the other techniques combined. Originally developed for the U.S. Army, Gracie Combatives is the only course that is entirely dedicated to the mastery of these 36 essential techniques. Up until now, this course was taught exclusively at a small network of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu certified training centers, but now, for the first time ever, the complete Gracie Combatives course is available on DVD and can be learned from the comfort of your own home!

The Objective
What makes the Gracie Combatives collection so unique is that it is the only instructional DVD series ever produced with the sole objective of taking the viewer - regardless of their age, gender or athletic ability - from no knowledge to street ready without ever stepping foot into a school of martial arts. Every other instructional video series to date was designed to give viewers additional techniques and tips to complement the training they were receiving at an actual school of martial arts, whereas the entire Gracie Combatives series was produced under the assumption that the viewer had absolutely no previous experience and, for one reason or another, would never have the privilege of learning at a Certified Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Training Center.
Dynamic Reflex Development
What separates Gracie Combatives from other martial arts instructional DVDs is a revolutionary teaching system called Dynamic Reflex Development. Although there are thousands of martial arts instructional DVDs in existence that show the viewers how to do various techniques, up until now, there has never been an instructional series that gives the viewers the exact system they must follow to develop their reflexes in the execution of all the techniques in combination with one another. Using the Dynamic Reflex Development teaching system, you will be introduced to Gracie Jiu-Jitsu the same way young children are introduced to a language; first, they learn the letters, then they learn how to make words, and then, finally, they can make sentences and paragraphs on their own. In each Gracie Combatives lesson, the new technique is first presented to you in the form of simplified drills, or Technical Slices. Then, it is combined with one other technique in a Reflex Development Drill. Finally, at the end of each lesson, you will learn how to execute the newly learned technique in the context of a real fight by combining it with several other techniques in a Fight Simulation Drill. The effectiveness of the techniques and the revolutionary teaching system used to engineer each lesson is what makes it possible for any student to go from no knowledge to "street ready" in the absolute least amount of time possible!
The Gracie Combatives Belt Qualification Test
Gracie Combatives is the most comprehensive instructional series ever produced by the Gracie Family. Comprised of 13 DVDs and over 18 hours of instruction, this collection features every detail of every technique that must be mastered before one is considered for Gracie Combatives belt. On the 13th DVD of the collection, you will find a complete demonstration of the Gracie Combatives Belt Qualification Test that one must pass to qualify for a promotion. If, after several months of dedicated practice, you become extremely proficient in the execution of the five Gracie Combatives Belt Qualification Drills (GCBQDs), you are invited to test for promotion at any Certified Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Training Center. If you do not live near an accredited school, you can also test for promotion using the revolutionary Gracie Video Evaluation Process. Through this process, you will digitally record your performance of the five GCBQDs, and then upload the videos to the Internet at www.GracieUniversity.com. Once uploaded, the videos will be viewed by a Gracie University instructor. If your accuracy, efficiency, and reflexes meet Gracie University standards, your name will be added to the list of Certified Belt Holders and we will mail you an official Gracie Combatives Belt!
The Truth
Over the last 85 years, the 36 techniques featured in the Gracie Combatives program have proven to be the simplest and most reliable for street self-defense against a larger opponent. As a result, Gracie Combatives is the most effective DVD series for new students looking to gain maximum self-defense effectiveness in the least amount of time. But, training for the streets and training for tournaments are two entirely different things. If your sole training objective is to prepare for point-based BJJ tournaments, this DVD series is not for you. If, on the other hand, you train at a sport BJJ school and would like to gain some awareness as to the technical and philosophical difference between sport and street jiu-jitsu, and you would like to learn the techniques that you will almost certainly need in a real fight against a more athletic opponent, this collection is an absolute must!
The Bonuses
Along with the 13 DVDs, you will receive a 65-page handbook and the Gracie Combatives Fight Chart. The handbook contains insightful information on the principles of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu which, once understood, will enable you to solve any problems that may arise during training sessions. It also includes a recommended training schedule, the Gracie Combatives belt checklist, and a one-page outline for each lesson with note space. The Fight Chart is a poster-size (24"x36") flowchart that illustrates all the ways in which the 36 techniques connect during the four phases of a real fight. This color-coded visual representation of the techniques will be most valuable to you when you are preparing for the Gracie Combatives Belt Qualification Test.
The Price
Don't let the price of the Gracie Combatives collection fool you. This is undoubtedly the most comprehensive instructional DVD series ever released by the Gracie Family, and there is only one reason it's being offered at such an affordable price you can't afford to miss out of.
Details
The standard Gracie Combatives DVD Package includes 13 DVDs (each with the approximate running time of 90 minutes, except for the 13th DVD which features the Gracie Combatives Belt Qualification Test), the 65-page Gracie Combatives Belt Qualification Handbook, and the poster-size 24"x36" Gracie Combatives Flowchart.

Testimonial of the Week:
"Guys, I just wanted to extend my appreciation for the great job you did with the "Gracie Combatives" DVD program. When my set was delivered, I was immediately impressed with the packaging, the art work on the box, cases, and discs, the extras like the handbook (the note taking space is a godsend!), the poster (I framed it and hung it on my wall!) and the production quality of the videos. The instructional format is superb and the quality of the lessons we get from you guys is nothing short of amazing. Your Dad (and Grand Father) must be proud. This was obviously a professional job and not some sloppy rushed to market a bunch of junk. All of this for a price that proves sometimes things that good can be true. For what little this costs, I can't believe what I have here. I'm loving my training under the Gracie brothers. Bravo again, men!"

Very professional, clear, concise. Best way to learn the basics of BJJ. Both Gracie brothers do a terrific job guiding you through a well designed and thought-out course. I can't recommend it enough. Get this series. Get actual instruction as well but use this course to gain an understanding before actual training or clarify and review during. Great job!

I purchased this set almost two years ago and have never, ever regretted it! I run a Gracie Garage and use the online and DVDs weekly. Having two options is well worth the slightly extra cost over just the DVDs. This entire program is fantastic and Rener and Ryron's teaching styles are very effective and easy to follow. Anyone wishing to learn Gracie Jiu-Jitsu needs to purchase this program and get practicing right away! Keep it Real!

I had a yearning to learn something new. The renergy of Ryron and Rener specifically, that by sheer chance I found on youtube, lit a fire in me. I even made The Sandwich - its awesome (gf isnt fully sold yet but I'm working on it)
I'm only a couple lessons into the series, and I just signed up for a local bjj gym as well, a couple of classes into that. Really impressed by the technique, technique, technique of Gracie jiu jitsu, and of the workout I'm getting in the BJJ gym as well. Specifically, I love how you guys present the material so clearly, step after step.
Its daunting to think there are at least 600 different techniques in this art, but comforting to know there are 36 basic ones that can get me started.
Thank you very much for your enthusiasm and dedication and worksmanship in creating the gracie academy and in supporting all that it stands for! I hope to one day meet you guys and shake your hands

I was extremely pleased with my purchase. When my order arrived, the boxed DVD set was in perfect condition and
I was sent a patch, a sticker, a poster, and other surprises. I called customer service to request my existing Gracie University
membership account converted to paid from subscription and it was done by the time I logged in after the phone call. :)
A big thank you and utmost respect to Rorion and Rener for the highest quality instruction and also to the entire company
team for providing a first class experience to your customers. I wholeheartedly recommend you to make your purchase
instead of putting it off like I did for so long. You'll be glad you made your investment long after your product arrives!

This is the best purchase ever because you get the highest quality instruction available in the world straight from the source in step by step increments you can easily absorb at your own pace. What kind of price tag can you put on your street readiness for personal safety when that inevitable moment comes where you must fight no matter how safe you try to live. The ability to subdue a much larger attacker and control a violent and dangerous situation with trained confidence easily makes this the best purchase ever. Each viewing of a lesson I've already trained reveals hidden gems of such incredibly rich detail, you'll want to continue to review these fundamentals that are so important for the rest of your life. It all starts with this purchase as the foundation and develops into a lifelong adventure you'll wonder how you made it so long before you started! I'm deeply grateful for the lessons I've learned from the Gracie brothers. Outstanding!

You'll be astounded at just how many bells and whistles come built into the online add on upgrade. I like to use the automatic journal tracker so I can see how much time I've spent on any individual lesson as well as overall at a glance. It automatically stamps the date started when you start a lesson and lets you update it with the date you complete a lesson once you feel you've mastered it. This makes training each lesson so much more productive than without it because you can see what you've already done and which sequential lesson you're ready to work on next! That's just one of the neat little features included. You get access to forums where you can ask questions and the Gracies answer it with the perfect answer for you. You can search the handy archives of previously asked and answered questions to learn from as well. You can use the fight simulation feature and the technical slices to really hone your skill that is the focus of the lesson you're on so that you can drill the techniques to the point they become reflexes and instinct. The DVDs by themselves are great, but the ability to access all these extra features with this high value add on makes upgrading for the online access a complete no brainer. Don't think about it. Just get it now and thank me later because you'll instantly realize how it's worth it big time the first time you use it!

I am more than a bit surprised that there hasn't been a review of these DVDs yet. I have been a martial artist for over ...dear Lord..30 years! I have purchased martial arts instructional/historical audio/visual (meaning DVDs and VHS...if you know what that is you are old) material for most of that time. I own material from Black Belt Magazine, Aikido Today (VHS, DVDs and Saito's entire catalog on streaming AND DVD). In all, thousands of hours of material. So I know what I am talking about when I say that these are the finest instructional products I personally have ever seen. Why? Here's why.
1. These are designed for distance learning. Each lesson is has an intro, and is divided into "slices" which breaks the variations up for easy practice and viewing. Even better, you can play a silent demo of each technique "slice" so that you can play it on a loop in the background as you train! Brilliant. Video quality and audio quality are HD level and are consistantly good through out. 2. The content is logical. This has more to the excellent teaching methodology of the Gracie family than anything else. You start with the foundational movements and build. Seems simple, but it is very elegantly done by these guys. The instruction is top notch with common mistakes and safety techniques being called out at every turn. Bravo! 3. Ease of finding content. How many times have you tried to find a specific part of a movie on DVD? Each of the DVDs has all of the techniques listed on the back of each DVD case, and the binding of each case is color coded and lists technique numbers contained on the DVD. Again, basic but it is the little things that make this such an outstanding product. 4. Bonus material- You get a 60+ page Gracie Combatives Handbook which is a guide to their teaching methodology. They set you up for success in so many ways and this is another example of it. The book has room for notes on each technique, a training schedule for maximum efficiency, and a section on the history and philosophy of Gracie Jiu Jitsu that is designed to guide you all the way through to Blue Belt. In the immortal words of Billy Mays (RIP) "But wait! There's more!". There is a HUGE Gracie Combatives Wall Chart which had to have been created by an engineer. It shows the progression of technique and method of self defense training shows just how the complexity and intricacies of Gracie Combatives builds over time. Really awesome job guys. I think I need to add one more, and to me this is the most important. #5...Rener and Ryron. These two brothers are unbelievably competent teachers, and they are freakin' hilarous. They LOVE this stuff and it shows. There are hundreds of hours of training material here, and these two dudes are so infectiously excited in EVERY-SINGLE-SLICE is makes me excited to train! Never seen anything like this before. Get. This. Now. There is something here for everyone. If you are "too advanced" to review the basics you probably aren't as good as you think you are. I can see going back over these DVDs for decades. Not even joking. Buy with great confidence.

Having studied online through many avenues (work, getting my bachelor's, etc.), I can attest to the efficiency of remote/virtual learning environments. These DVDs break down an easy-to-follow curriculum that I can easily increase my own jiu jitsu skills with. Brick-and-mortar training venues can tend to be more scattered when teaching their techniques. The Gracies have done an incredible job being methodical in their execution of this material by giving you a lesson plan where you repeat each lesson three times during one course of study. The emphasis of the DVDs is also on self-defense rather than competition, which is tremendously important for my goals!
