History

Established in 2008.

The Academia Gracie was founded by Grand Masters Carlos and Helio Gracie on April 18, 1952 at Avenida Rio Branco 151 on the 17th and 18th floors. The original instructors were Carlson Gracie, Robson Gracie, Joao Alberto Barreto and Helio Vigio. They were supervised by Grand Master Helio Gracie. In 1981 the academy moved to Lagoa for a couple of years before establishing itself inside the Colégio Padre Antonio Vieira, a private Catholic school. Today the school focuses primarily in Sport Jiu-​Jitsu, but also does training competitors for a career in MMA (although it isn’t recommended, as it is primarily a Brazilian Jiu-​Jitsu training gym and not a MMA training gym).

The gym is currently run by Hélio’s sons, Royler and Rolker Gracie. Almost all of the fighters in the famous Gracie family, including Rickson, have trained at the school extensively.
