The fastest way to street readiness.

It’s not just a workout — it’s a life-saving skillset. Learn how to protect yourself and your loved ones, even if an attacker is bigger and stronger than you.

Come see why Omaha comes to our Adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program for self-defense.

Safe and structured self-defense.

The top two reasons why people don’t learn martial arts is because they fear getting injured, or that they will not be good enough.

The structure of our adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes make them ideal for beginners with absolutely no experience, and we prioritize the safety of our students in every class.

Join our family.

Our students and our instructors make us a big, supportive family here in Omaha. We work with each other, not against each other, as we pursue our goals together. Come for the jiu-jitsu, stay for the community.

We welcome newcomers with open arms!

format_quote"I’ve been training in various martial arts for 31 years. While I did not grow up with the Gracie University system (it didn’t exist yet), I have watched it grow and mature into the most comprehensive training available. We can argue attributes of sparring all day long, but nothing comes close to level of professionalism and commitment to long-term performance as Gracie Omaha. Thank you, Brian and team for taking in a worn down stray and inspiring me to find joy in Jiu Jitsu again."

format_quoteMy husband found the studio in August and our entire family has since joined as members. The kids are thriving in the Bullyproof kids program which is such a great program to give confidence and strength in positive ways to kids. Brian is an amazing coach and adapts to the atmosphere when different personalities are present. The fact that the studio is family run is a huge plus. We love supporting local owners and families.

I am part of the Women Empowered Program which is an amazing community of women. Brian and Nicole have taught me so much and I continue to learn from them technique and situational awareness recognition. Brian brings in his perspective from the law enforcement background and Nicole brings a lot of practical thoughts from a women’s perspective. I look forward to going each week. I now watch the videos available to me to refresh and study before class.

My husband is in the Combatives program and has loved the variety in students who come from all backgrounds and expertise. The studio is focused on techniques based on typical scenarios mimicking real life. Eventually we practice reflex development when we master techniques. It’s a great community full of positive people in a safe environment. I tell everyone I know about them and will continue to support this studio as my own family grows with them. We love Brian and Nicole!!

format_quoteI joined Gracie Jiu-Jitsu about a month ago.  One of my daughter's and I had been talking about doing a self defense class.  She found Gracie here in Omaha and we could not be more happy with our choice!  The leaders are truly wonderful people that care about you and your experience with them! I LOVE my class and absolutely HATE to miss it!  I walk out of there truly feeling empowered and ready to take on the world! they might have just found a customer for life!

format_quoteMy wife and I visited this summer. The facility was spotless. We felt welcome from the moment we walked in. All the students were working together and cooperating. It was a safe and positive learning environment. Brian is a confident and humble instructor. We would highly recommend GJJ Omaha for anybody of any age or athletic ability!

Frequently Asked Questions

Most frequent questions and answers about our Children's Martial Arts Program.

Will my child become a bully?

Through our work, we have seen that confident kids make kinder kids. We teach children how to not only stand up to bullies for themselves, but how to stand up for others. Our Rules of Engagement teach children to avoid the fight if at all possible by first using their words, and then telling an adult.

When they do need to resort to physical self-defense, we do not teach children punches or kicks in the Gracie Bullyproof program, but rather, empowered by Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, to neutralize, defend, control, and negotiate if possible.

What do I need to bring to my first kids BJJ lesson?

Upon arriving for your child's first jiu-jitsu class, we will provide a uniform, called a gi, for them to wear. We recommend wearing comfortable undergarments or leggings, and a t-shirt or rashguard that they can wear under their gi.

Someone will be there to help you tie your child's belt for the first time!

My child has ADHD. Will martial arts help?

My Child Has ADHD. Is jiu-jitsu for them?

Yes! One of the great things about martial arts classes is that it's an individual sport done in a group environment. We find all our students improve in their focus, self control, discipline and social skills. But the best part is…. They don't even realize that is what our highly trained kids martial arts instructors are actually doing. They just think they are having fun!

The best way to find out for yourself is to take advantage of our limited time offer. You'll find our team so helpful and dedicated to helping your child become the best version of themselves. If you are concerned about group classes for your child, we also offer private classes until they feel ready to take on the group class setting!

Kids karate classes vs. kids BJJ classes. Which is best?

Many parents ask, what's the difference between Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Karate classes? While we believe all martial-arts have value, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has not only been proven to be the most effective martial art for a smaller person to defend themselves in a real fight for nearly a century, it also can be the most gentile.

We don't want our kids or students turning into bullies themselves, and we also believe self-defense should be scalable, depending on the situation. Whereas kids Karate lessons or Taekwondo classes rely solely on landing punches and kicks, jiu-jitsu for kids focuses on neutralizing a threat with verbal boundaries, distance management, body control, and eventual negotiation.

Are parents allowed to watch?

We encourage parents to watch their children in their kids martial arts lessons. We love parents getting involved! Even better… you can join in our martial arts classes for adults, and have yet another thing in common with your little one. We love seeing the bond of families who train together!

remove

My child is not athletic. Will they feel left out?

We believe jiu-jitsu is for children of all skill levels and abilities. Your child belongs here.

Through our kids martial arts classes, we have seen our students improve co-ordination, balance, motor skills, focus and discipline. Plus, they make lots of great friends!

Our instructors are highly skilled in teaching martial arts to kids. It's their PASSION!
