Welcome to RENZO GRACIE NEWFOUNDLAND!

Renzo Gracie Newfoundland (RGNL) specializes in teaching Gracie Jiu Jitsu and offer classes for both kids and adults. 
We are a Renzo Gracie Academy affiliated school and
provide instruction
in Gracie Jiu Jitsu, Kickboxing, and Mixed Martial Arts.  A typical class includes warm-up exercises, stretching, strength training and cardio, live drills, grappling and sparring, and self defense. 

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art, combat sport, and a self defense system that focuses on grappling and ground fighting. It teaches that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique by applying locks and chokeholds to submit the other person. BJJ can be used for sport grappling tournaments and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition or self defense.  Sparring, commonly referred to as 'rolling' and live drilling play a major role in training, and a premium is placed on performance, especially in competition, in relation to progress and ascension through the grades/belts.  Source: Wikipedia.com
