![]() The program preserves and perpetuates the techniques in their purest, most effective form with strict adherence to the founding principles of street applicability, energy efficiency, and natural body movements. The Global Training Program is meeting the enormous demand for Gracie Jiu-Jitsu instruction driven by the art’s proven effectiveness and simplicity. Collectively known as the Gracie Global Training Program, Ryron and Rener’s initiatives have reached beyond resident training at the World Headquarters to include a global network of Certified Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Training Centers, extension training through the web-based Gracie University and DVDs, popularization of the Gracie art and Gracie lifestyle via YouTube videos, and hands-on instruction through year-round seminars conducted worldwide. The brothers completely revamped pre-existing Gracie University programs developed by their father and created several new ones to facilitate the export of their instruction through distance education and cadre training. Shortly afterwards, Ryron and Rener became the head instructors at Gracie University responsible for supervising all aspects of training and program development. In 2003, Grand Master Helio Gracie awarded Ryron and Rener black belts in recognition of their mastery of his unique techniques and teaching methodologies. While constantly perfecting their physical techniques, they worked equally hard to master the powerfully effective instruction methods developed by their forbearers. The life changing transformations of Gracie University students motivated the brothers to teach the art. Even more important, Ryron and Rener recognized the profound impact the family’s art had on all who studied it. But, it wasn’t until they observed their father and uncles – Royce, Rickson, and Royler – easily winning challenge matches that they began to comprehend fully the effectiveness of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. As children, they watched him teach private classes in their garage in Southern California. Rorion introduced his sons to the art as soon as they could walk. Ryron and Rener were born into this family tradition of testing the art against all challengers. Rorion’s younger brother, Royce, won 3 of the first 4 UFC tournaments proving that the leverage-based techniques of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu provided the most reliable way to defeat a larger, more athletic opponent. In 1993, Rorion created the Ultimate Fighting Championship to showcase the supremacy of the family’s self-defense system in a realistic “no holds barred” confrontation against all comers. Their father is Rorion Gracie, one of the world’s foremost experts in self-defense. Ryron and Rener Gracie are the eldest grandsons of Grand Master Helio Gracie, the creator of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. ![]()
