Our children take self defense with fusion combat and we are pleased with how much they have learned and how they continue to grow. Coach Jesse and coach Pedro create a great environment that focuses on technical skills, advocacy, responsibility and respect - skills we see our kids carry in and outside of their lessons. While our children took martial arts before Fusion Combat - their previous experience in large classes that focused on kicking speed challenges and kicking and punching through wood fell short. Fusion Combat is the best martial arts experience we have had so far. If you are looking for a great opportunity for your children to learn martial arts and learn how to be responsible community members and leaders, I highly recommend Fusion Combat.

Jesse is awesome! We took the orientation class and my daughter learned so much in an hour it was amazing! I highly recommend this program because the teaching style and philosophy behind it are so beneficial and it teaches a young lady how to not only defend herself, but self esteem and discipline as well!

Lot of fun. Jesse is a great instructor and will work with your schedule. Once you get comfortable with the basics and begin grappling and striking drills with other students, the classes become way more rewarding and practical.

The best decision I made was to take the first step to see what this is all about. Short story - some history with martial arts. In comparison to Fusion, it was really more like a kick boxing class. A little older so the '70's body and skills have long since resigned. With Fusion, you will find movement with a purpose and the stepping stones to grow physically and mentally. It will build coordination, physical fitness and confidence. You will find professionalism and fun with everyone working toward the same goals and supporting each other along the way. That only comes from great leadership. If my schedule would allow, I would be there daily! I encourage everyone to check out Fusion. It is a place that I have sought for a long time. Simply put, It Fits!

Is Gracie Combatives Effective?

September 18, 2017

The Gracie Combatives system of self-defense has been around for decades, and it has become increasingly popular in recent years. It is a form of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) that focuses on practical self-defense techniques. It prefers to identify itself as Gracie Jiu-Jitsu (GJJ). But is it really effective? In this blog post, we will explore the effectiveness of Gracie Combatives and how it can help you stay safe in dangerous situations. Ready to begin your jiu-jitsu journey? Discover more at Fusion Combat Training Center!

What is Gracie Combatives?

Gracie Combatives is a system of self-defense developed by the legendary martial artist Rorion Gracie. It has been further refined by his two sons Ryron and Renor Gracie. It combines elements of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, and Muay Thai to create an effective form of self-defense for any situation. However, it formally identifies itself as Gracie Jiu Jitsu to distinguish itself from the more sportive elements contained in those other forms. The Gracie Combatives system focuses on practical techniques that can be used to defend against an attacker in a real-world situation. It also places a greater emphasis on punch protection and standing self-defense tactics.

The Benefits of Gracie Combatives

Gracie Combatives offers a number of benefits for those looking to learn how to defend themselves in dangerous situations. One major benefit is that the system focuses on practical techniques that can be used in real-world scenarios. This means that you don’t have to worry about learning complex moves or techniques that may not work in a real fight. Additionally, the system teaches you how to use leverage and body positioning to your advantage, which can give you an edge over your opponent.

Another benefit of Gracie Combatives is that it teaches you how to stay calm and composed during a fight or confrontation. This is important because it allows you to think clearly and make decisions quickly, which can be essential when defending yourself against an attacker.

Finally, the system also teaches you how to use verbal de-escalation techniques to defuse potentially dangerous situations before they become violent. This can be invaluable for those who may find themselves in potentially dangerous situations but don’t want to resort to physical violence if possible.

Does Gracie Combatives Work?

The short answer is yes – Gracie Combatives does work as an effective form of self-defense. The system has been tested and proven effective by countless practitioners over the years, and its effectiveness has been further demonstrated by its widespread adoption by law enforcement agencies around the world as part of their training programs. It is also taught at more that 200 Certified Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Training Centers (CTC) worldwide. Many others have attempted to replicate this system.

In addition, many professional fighters have incorporated elements of Gracie Combatives into their own training regimens due to its effectiveness in real fights and competitions. This further demonstrates the effectiveness of the system as a whole and shows just how powerful it can be when used correctly.

Conclusion

Overall, there’s no doubt that Gracie Combatives is an effective form of self-defense for anyone looking to stay safe in dangerous situations. Its combination of practical techniques, leverage usage, body positioning knowledge, verbal de-escalation skills, and more make it an invaluable tool for anyone looking to stay safe from harm’s way.
