Authentic lineage. Black-belt instruction.

Whether you're brand new or returning to the mat, our adult BJJ program is structured in three tracks: Fundamentals (technique-first, no experience needed), No-Gi / Competition (for students preparing to compete), and Open Mat (live rolling for all levels). It's the same format that's made us one of the most consistent Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academies in Delaware County for adults who want real progression, not just a workout.

THE GENTLE ART

What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?

In our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes, you'll learn a grappling-based system built on leverage, timing, and technique — not brute strength. Every class blends live drilling with positional sparring, so you're applying what you learn from day one instead of just watching demonstrations.

Structured curriculum

Each class builds on the last, so you always know what you're working toward — from your first sweep to your first submission.

Live training, every class

You'll roll in a controlled, coached environment, so techniques become instinct instead of just theory.

“I was fortunate to start my Jiu-Jitsu journey under Coach Brett Linebarger two years ago in Philadelphia. He is a phenomenal trainer and, off the mats, an even better person and friend. Daniel Gracie Delco is sure to become a community staple and a future hub of champions. I cannot recommend it enough.”

“I’ve trained BJJ for over five years and visited dozens of gyms across the country. Professor Brett teaches some of the best fundamental classes I’ve ever taken. He shows important details that some instructors gloss over and explains the concepts behind the success or failure of a technique. I highly recommend taking one of Brett’s classes.”

“This is my first experience training in BJJ. I’m 45 and wanted to do something to stay in shape, but it turned out to be so much more than I expected. The instruction is exceptional, the workout is great, and there’s always a positive, family-oriented vibe. I definitely recommend Daniel Gracie Delco.”

“Professor Bret is doing a great job creating an environment where all students feel welcome and part of the community. I’ve trained at many gyms, and he is one of the best instructors at breaking complicated techniques into small, understandable steps. On top of that, he is a great, humble, and passionate human being!”
