The Art of Jiu-Jitsu - Refined
Train directly with Ralek Gracie in a focused, world-class environment built for long-term development, safety, and fundamental understanding.
At a time when Gracie/Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has never been more popular, truly high-level instruction and safe foundational training have become increasingly rare. While many academies advertise “no experience necessary,” inconsistent standards and limited technical depth often lead to unnecessary injuries and stalled progress. At AG1925, you train directly with Ralek Gracie — a member of the founding Gracie family with world-class experience and a teaching lineage that traces back to the earliest days of Jiu-Jitsu in the United States.

A Century of Human
Empowerment
Founded in 1925, the original Academia Gracie established the very first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy in Rio de Janeiro, located at Rua Marques de Abrantes in Flamengo. Nearly a century later, Ralek Gracie carries that legacy forward in Franklin, Tennessee with AG1925 — a living homage to Academia Gracie’s enduring tradition of Human Empowerment and Self-Defense since 1925.
