As the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu® certified training center in Elgin, at Fusion Fitness we are committed to preserving Grand Master Helio Gracie’s vision and teaching methods. To that end, we teach Elgin jiu-jitsu as a realistic method of self-defense and not as a tournament sport.

Gracie Combatives®

Gracie Combatives is the official Gracie Jiu-Jitsu beginner program for adults. In this program, you will learn the 36 core techniques of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in a fun, safe, and cooperative environment. Each one-hour lesson addresses one standing and one ground self-defense technique. You can start the program at any time and participate in any class without previous experience and, since safety is our number one concern, there is no competitive sparring in this program.
