Established in 1999, this Reno academy bills itself as Northern Nevada's largest and only Gracie black belt academy. It is led by Gary Grate, a 5th-degree black belt under Charles Gracie who earned his blue belt from Rickson Gracie, and the school reports over 50 black belts produced. Training covers gi and no-gi Brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo and Muay Thai kickboxing, with women-only sessions, open mats, a family class and kids programs from age 4 that emphasize anti-bullying education. The facility offers nearly 7,000 square feet with about 4,000 of mat space and a pro shop. It also runs military and law enforcement defensive tactics, seminars and private lessons, and is approved for the local school district's PE options program.
