What is a Certified Training Center?
A Certified Training Center is one of a select group of academies authorized directly by Gracie University Headquarters in Torrance, California, to teach the official Gracie Jiu-Jitsu curriculum. Not every Jiu-Jitsu gym is a CTC — the designation means the techniques, the teaching method, and the standards come straight from the Gracie family that created the art. Every program follows the same proven, sequenced curriculum taught at headquarters.
