Adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Jefferson City, MO
At Gracie Barra Jefferson City, our Adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program helps men and women of all fitness levels improve their physical and mental strength while learning real self-defense. Whether you're here to get in shape, reduce stress, gain confidence, or become a competitor, you’ll find a supportive and motivating community ready to help you grow. We welcome complete beginners, seasoned grapplers, and everyone in between.

Why Train BJJ as an Adult
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is more than just a workout—it's a lifelong practice that builds discipline, resilience, and problem-solving under pressure. You’ll learn how to protect yourself using leverage, technique, and strategy—not size or strength.

What to Expect in Class
Classes follow the official Gracie Barra curriculum and are taught by experienced, certified instructors—including Brazilian black belts. Each session includes warm-ups, technique drills, partner training, and optional sparring (always at your pace). You’ll learn both gi and no-gi styles and make steady progress through our belt system with consistent support from coaches and teammates.

Train with a Global Team
Gracie Barra is one of the largest Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu organizations in the world, with over 1,000 schools across six continents. Our Jefferson City academy brings that global standard of excellence to Mid-Missouri. We are one of only two official GB schools in the region, along with our sister location in Columbia. When you train here, you’re not just joining a gym—you’re joining a worldwide team.
