Life Ki-do Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has deep roots in the traditional Gracie lineage.
Our journey began in 1994, training under Carlos Machado and his instructors, as well as a black belt under Relson Gracie. We also had the opportunity to train directly with Relson Gracie during seminars here in Austin. Today, we continue our training under a Royler Gracie black belt, maintaining a strong connection to authentic Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.
Our curriculum emphasizes practical self-defense and real-world application, rather than sport or tournament-focused Jiu-Jitsu. This approach aligns with our mission of helping students build confidence, awareness, resilience, and practical self-defense skills.
