Cub Scouts Pack 113 Anti Bully Class

GB San Clemente - Saturday, February 11, 2012

Our dear students Conner, Haley and Caden Parrot brought their Cub Scouts Pack 113 to a special class this evening.

The kids had a lot of fun while they where learning some basic principles of self defense.

Coach Felipe and Coach Fernando also talked to the kids about the safe mindset that they must have when facing a situation like that.

Bullying is a real problem these days at any school and on our school we work with our students on a daily basis to make sure that they are ready to face a situation like that mentally and physically if necessary.

The Amazing Legacy of Gracie Barra San Clemente Jiu-Jitsu



There is much more that goes into Gracie Barra San Clemente Jiu-Jitsu than once can see at a first look. We always talk to our students about the pride of being part of Barra and the tradition and legacy of our school in the martial arts world.

Under the leadership of Master Carlos Gracie Jr. a group pf amazing fighters consolidated the most accomplished team of Jiu-Jitsu practitioners. Most of these people grew to become instructors and are now part running Gracie Barra Jiu-Jitsu schools somewhere around the globe.

Our Head Instructor, Professor Flavio Almeida, calls him self a product of the Gracie Barra way. He Joined GB at age 13th and learned from some of the best of all times like Carlos Gracie Jr., Renzo Gracie, Ryan Gracie, Marcio Feitosa, and of course his brother Ricardo Almeida. Prof. Flavio recalls some pretty amazing stories about training and learning from so many of the grets of our sport.

Since we started our school 4 years ago, Professor Almeida has worked day after day to make all of us part of the GB Legacy. Replicating Gracie Barra Jiu-Jitsu here in San Clemente he build amazing champions and one of the best coaching staff of our network.

Watch this amazing Video from of of GBs most senior Professors Vinicius Dracolino Magalhaes and he shares his own view and excitement about Gracie Barra and its legacy that we are all part of.
