Tradition matters.

The lineage behind every class.

In Brazilian jiu-jitsu, who taught you matters as much as what you know. Our line runs from the founder of the art to the professor on our mats in Wembley. There is nothing to take on faith here; it is a matter of record.

  1. Helio Gracie, founder of the Gracie Humaita academy
    The founder

    Helio Gracie

    Helio Gracie founded and built the Gracie Humaita academy and is regarded as one of the fathers of Brazilian jiu-jitsu. He refined the art so that a smaller, lighter person could defend against a larger, stronger one, the idea that still sits at the centre of everything we teach. For most of his competitive career he was the number one ranked fighter in Vale-Tudo.

    "Teach those who don't know, remind those who do know, correct those who think they know."
  2. Royler Gracie, fifth son of Helio Gracie
    The fifth son

    Royler Gracie

    Royler is the fifth son of Helio Gracie and one of the most decorated competitors the family has produced: a coral belt with more than 40 years of competition behind him, co-author of three jiu-jitsu books, and eleven professional MMA fights. He carried the Gracie Humaita academy in Rio for years and helped form some of the best in the sport. Royler awarded Aldo Lobato his black belt.

    • Coral belt
    • 40+ years of competition experience
    • Co-author of 3 jiu-jitsu books
    • 11 professional MMA fights

    Royler's current belt degree is confirmed with the academy before publishing a specific number.

  3. Professor Aldo Lobato teaching on the mats at Gracie Humaita Wembley
    Your professor in Perth
