Our Standards

At Gracie Barra Castle Rock, we uphold a tradition of respect, discipline, and professionalism. Our etiquette guidelines ensure that every student, coach, and visitor contributes to a safe and focused environment where everyone can grow.

Respect on the Mats

Respect is the foundation of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. From bowing to instructors and training partners to maintaining clean uniforms and good hygiene, our etiquette reinforces the values that make Gracie Barra more than just a gym.

Discipline in Practice

Discipline goes beyond techniques—it's in how we enter the mats, follow instructions, and support each other's journey. By following our etiquette, students build habits that lead to success both on and off the mats.

Our History

Live Training
Live Training sessions are structured sparring rounds where students apply techniques in real-time against resisting partners. These sessions help students develop timing, pressure, and the ability to adapt under realistic conditions.

Supervised by a coach
Focuses on situational or full sparring
Great for sharpening reflexes and testing technique

Study Hall
Study Hall is an open mat format designed for self-guided learning. Students can drill techniques, review past lessons, or ask instructors questions in a relaxed setting.

No structured class or sparring required
Ideal for extra drilling or reviewing specific techniques
Students work at their own pace with instructor support available
