Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Sault Ste Marie is the 5th Gracie Academy Certified Training Centre in CANADA! Check us out at http://www. For the first time ever, the Gracie Academy has organized all the techniques of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu into a logical, clearly defined, systematic curriculum from white belt to black belt.

All over the world, self-proclaimed Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructors are teaching "watered down" techniques without regard to the founding principles of street applicability, energy efficiency, and natural body movements. The order in which you learn the techniques of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu greatly affects the time it takes for you to master the art.

Chris Giallonardo is a certified Gracie jiu-jitsu blue belt and went through the instructor certification program in 2012. He finished certification with a live evaluation in july of 2012 at Gracie academy headquarters in Torrance, California.

Chris has completed a very extensive instructor program created by members of the Gracie family that allow him to teach using methods and guidelines that help students learn the art at a much faster rate and retain more information.Chris is experienced with teaching younger adults and children and aims to create and maintain a safe and feel good atmosphere for all students.
At a very young age, Helio Gracie learned traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu techniques from his older brother, Carlos. In the late 1920s, he began to modify these techniques to accommodate his frail physique with the objective of developing a system that would enable him to defend himself against larger opponents.
The application of traditional Gracie Jiu-Jitsu transcends the application of chokes, jointlocks, immobilizations, throws, and strikes. Gracie is a way of life. Beyond the mat, members of the Gracie family live balanced, healthy lives based on the same philosophy that governs their unique self-defence system.
Although every child gets bullied, only 15% of them actually report it, and once a bully targets a victim, they will continue to harass that child as long as they can get away with it. The only way a child will verbally stand up for him/herself against a bully is if they are confident they can defend themselves if attacked.

Both of my sons are enrolled in classes here. Not only is it great physical activity, but the focus on character building is extraordinary. The environment is warm and caring. Chris was born to work with kids.

My son and I both train here. It's an awesome place to train and we love it completely. Chris and Toni have been so kind and generous on and off the mat and we've met a lot of good people through there. The staff is knowledgable, kind, courteous, and embody the Jiu Jitsu lifestyle. The classes are taught 100% true to the Gracie Jiu Jitsu curriculum. Questions are always answered and they will go the extra mile to help you understand something. They are excellent with the kids and always make time to talk to them about their problems; they have even done that for me also.
They also offer birthday
