History
The Gracie Family tradition of jiu-jitsu dates back to 1925. As third generation members of the legendary jiu-jitsu family, Ryron and Rener Gracie established Gracie University in Torrance, California to share the most effective self-defense system on the planet. Besides offering safe and effective jiu-jitsu programs for men, women, children, and law enforcement, the Torrance location serves as the global headquarters for over 200 Certified Training Centers. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Fort Smith is one of these Certified Training Centers and is owned and operated by Josh and Abby Clemmer. Bottom line: When you're a student at Gracie University, you're learning from the source.
