It is so great to be here in Pasadena "the City of Roses"!

When I opened up my first school over a decade ago , I had a dream of changing thousands of lives and that dream has become a reality.

I am on an unstoppable mission to bring out the potential in every student thru the beautiful art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and the Jiu-Jitsu Lifestyle as it has done to mine.

Gracie Barra Pasadena has become a reference for physical education, fitness and self-defense. Families have found in our school a great place to work out together.

Our World Class BJJ Programs are tailored to serve all kinds of people, from different ages and background, who are seeking for a different martial art/sport/lifestyle that is worth dedicating, learning and pursuing excellence.  Believe me, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is worth it!

My whole life has been dedicated to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.  The more I learn about the "Gentle Art", the more passionate and curious I get about it, more importantly, the positive impact on those who make it a part of their lives!

Take some time to visit our school and experience Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. You will be impressed and discover things you never imagined about this amazing art.

Warmest Regards,

Prof. Alberto Crane

"At the heart of the Gracie Barra Family's extraordinary success over the years is our strong philosophy and mission as a group, a foundation which our masters laid many years ago, but is constantly being reinforced by the great people that make our community. Jiu-Jitsu is a beautiful art, and we have a vision of how it should be taught as a means for individual development going beyond the competitive realm. To achieve this vision, we must remember to come together as a family, always putting the team in front of individual. For that, we will fight to the end for what we believe is right".
