Patrick Head

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is one of the fastest growing sports in the United States and the world today. Even though this growth can be partially attributed to the boom of Mixed Martial Art (MMA), we should never reduce our understanding of this wonderful martial art to a mere ground fighting style. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a way of living that has influenced thousands of individuals and their families to live a healthier and more balanced life. Ordinary people have achieved extraordinary results by embracing the BJJ Life-Style. It is a means to improve their focus, discipline, wellness, and confidence, while learning the most effective self-defense system available. Gracie Barra Beaumont is a center point for physical education, character development, self-defense, and world class Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training for the communities of Jefferson County and surrounding areas. Our various programs are carefully developed to fit different learning needs. Our cheerful and well trained staff center around the family spirit typical of Gracie Barra school making a unique combination of elements that deliver a very special experience for the students. As the Head Instructor of GB Beaumont, I am very proud and excited for this new Gracie Barra location. I would like to invite you to come to our school and embrace the BJJ Lifestyle. We promise there will be no regrets, only hard training, sweat, fun, and rewards. See you on the mats! Call now to schedule your free trial class!
