About
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy Castle Hill Pty Ltd is a reputable martial arts school based in the beautiful suburb of Castle Hill in Sydney's Hills District. Specialising in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, also known as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), this academy offers a comprehensive range of programmes suitable for individuals of all ages and fitness levels.
BJJ is widely recognised as one of the most effective forms of self-defence, emphasising techniques such as leverage, joint-locks, and chokeholds to allow smaller and weaker individuals to successfully overcome larger and stronger opponents. It is a martial art that can be mastered by anyone and provides real-world applications for self-defence situations.
The Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy Castle Hill prides itself on providing effective self-defence training, using the same techniques taught to elite military and law enforcement agencies worldwide, including the U. S. Army, FBI, and Secret Service. With a focus on grappling on the ground, which is where 95% of street fights end up, this academy equips its students with the necessary skills to navigate real-life self-defence situations.
Headed by Professor Marcos Nevel, a fifth-degree black belt and direct student of the Gracie family of Brazil, the founders of this martial art style, students can rest assured that they are receiving the highest quality instruction from a highly experienced and knowledgeable instructor. Prof. Marcos Nevel learned the art at the prestigious Gracie Academy in Brazil and was personally awarded his teaching qualifications by the art's founders.
The academy offers a variety of classes to cater to different needs and goals. The Adults Jiu-Jitsu Programme teaches practical self-defence techniques quickly and efficiently, drawing from instinctive movements. This programme is the official hand-to-hand combat system of the United States Military and is also utilised by law enforcement agencies worldwide.
Children are not left out, as the Kids Jiu-Jitsu Programme integrates physical education, self-defence techniques, conditioning, and fun, skill-oriented games. With a focus on both physical and mental aspects of martial arts training, this programme promotes discipline, confidence, and self-esteem in young individuals.
For those seeking personalised attention and rapid progress, private classes are available, either on an individual basis or in small groups. These classes can be conducted with the traditional gi uniform or without it, known as No-Gi.
Furthermore, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy Castle Hill is an approved Active Kids Provider, accepting Active Kids vouchers that can be used towards the cost of classes.
