The Gracie Way – Mission & Vision
At the heart of the Gracie Way is the belief that true mastery comes from deeply reflecting on the present moment and trusting our instincts—that every "obstacle" or opposing force we encounter on our path serves as a guide to clarity and opportunity. We strive to cultivate a legacy not just for ourselves but for our family, our communities, and future generations. With this vision in mind, we align our actions daily with that greater purpose, ensuring that each step we take contributes to creating a positive and lasting impact.
​
Humility is essential to our philosophy—there will always be someone more skilled, more powerful, or better prepared. The Gracie Way teaches us to use leverage and technique over brute strength, analyze both strengths and weaknesses, and remain open to learning. Through this approach, we grow, adapt, and evolve—understanding that the journey itself is the ultimate reward.

Welcome
At AG1925 Dojo, we bridge the gap between elite performance and everyday empowerment. Our mission goes beyond training world-class athletes—we strive to help anyone, regardless of age or background, use Jiu-Jitsu as a tool to develop health, focus, and courage in life. We believe that perseverance, discipline, and adaptability extend far beyond combat and are essential to success in any pursuit.
Carlos and Helio Gracie’s work gave us a method to test ourselves under the intense pressures of combat—one that has proven effective not only in competition and training but also in achieving personal and professional goals. This philosophy continues to guide us at AG1925 as we push ourselves and our students toward greater potential in every aspect of life.
