Dream Team!!! I have been representing The Red Shield since 2015, when I came to Albuquerque to run Jackson Wink MMA Academy, and I never looked back. This is my Family. I was so fortunate to receive my Black Belt from the hands of Grandmaster Carlos Gracie Jr. himself, the son of The Founder of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Carlos Gracie. Truly is a surreal experience, and the experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Gracie Barra is so much more than just a Jiu-Jitsu school, it’s a way of life.🔺

Enrolling my kids at Gracie Barra has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made as a parent. From my experience, what truly sets this academy apart is how genuinely the coaches care about every child. They invest in them, believe in them, encourage them, and celebrate their growth both on and off the mats. I’ve watched my kids gain confidence, discipline, respect, resilience, and skills that will benefit them for the rest of their lives. I can’t recommend Gracie Barra enough to any parent looking for a place where their children will be challenged, supported, and genuinely cared for.

If you’re looking for a place to train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Albuquerque, I highly recommend Gracie Barra Heights. The environment is extremely welcoming from day one, whether you’re brand new to BJJ or have years of experience. Everyone is respectful, supportive, and focused on helping each other improve. Professor Russ and Professor Enrique do an outstanding job of creating a culture where students are constantly getting better while also keeping safety a top priority on the mats. You can tell they genuinely care about their students’ development, confidence, and long-term progress not just hard rounds. The instruction is detailed, professional, and organized, and the atmosphere makes it easy to keep showing up consistently. Great training, great people, and a great community overall. We strongly recommend anyone in Albuquerque looking to train BJJ to check them out!

GB2 PROGRAM

While the Program focuses on the building blocks and basic principles of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the GB² Program is built on high-level techniques and drills. These advanced practices shape students’ game flow by enhancing reflexes, speed, and reaction time, facilitating smooth transitions between techniques.

After a few months in the GB² Program, students typically experience a deeper involvement in GB’s philosophy. They also develop a stronger bond with training partners and cultivate more discipline and commitment to healthy habits that keep them in good shape.

The Gracie Barra Black Belt Program is the ultimate stage in GB’s adult program structure, representing the culmination of a student’s journey while also signifying a new chapter.

Here, the goal is to refine the student’s Jiu-Jitsu game flow by immersing them in cutting-edge techniques and their variations. The dynamic curriculum offers diverse classes, complemented by hour-long live training sessions, creating a challenging yet safe space for students transitioning from blue to black belts.

In addition to technical skills, the program emphasizes mental fortitude and strategic thinking, preparing students for the demands of high-level Jiu-Jitsu competition and real-life self-defense scenarios.
