Bowie Jiu-Jitsu Academy

Bowie Jiu-Jitsu Academy is a Certified Training Center of Gracie University. We train our students using practical self-defense techniques the Gracie Way which focuses on efficiency and alavanca (Portuguese for "leverage"). Our beginner program Gracie Combatives (ages 13+) was originally developed for the military. It focuses on 36 of the most commonly used techniques that have the highest degree of success in street fights according to the Gracie family. These techniques are broken down into 23 one hour lessons. Our kids program Gracie Bullyproof (ages 5-12) is split between Little Champs ages 5-7 and Jr. Grapplers ages 7-12. We equip our kids with the tools to be confident and capable. In addition to learning jiu-jitsu, they are also given verbal de-escalation tactics so that they can fight fire with water. We also focus on character development themes that switch every 2 months.
