"We seek to train body, mind and spirit through the highest level of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instruction. We envision the art as a vehicle for individual development and the strengthening of the family spirit, going beyond the winning-losing or contest philosophy"
- Master Carlos Gracie Jr
Introduction
At Gracie Barra Sternschanze, we are proud to offer world-class BJJ instruction for students of all levels. Our experienced instructors are dedicated to helping you achieve your goals and reach your full potential, both on and off the mats. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, we welcome you to join our community and experience the benefits of BJJ for yourself.
One of the unique aspects of BJJ is that it is suitable for people of all ages and abilities. It is an inclusive and welcoming martial art that can be adapted to suit individual needs and goals. Whether you are looking to compete at a high level, improve your fitness, or simply learn an effective self-defense system, BJJ has something to offer.
BJJ is based on the concept of using leverage to control and submit an opponent. The techniques involve grappling on the ground, where practitioners use various holds, joint locks, and chokes to control their opponent and force them to submit.

Jiu-Jitsu is often likened to a game of human chess. If you don't like to work out at a gym because you get bored, you're not alone. Many of our students were tired of going to the gym, and they couldn't find new songs or audio books to entertain them on the treadmill. They found Jiu-Jitsu to be the perfect workout because it requires a high level of concentration proportional to the amount of calories burned and pounds lost. What's more, you'll still learn to defend yourself. It's a win-win situation.
The folks at GB make our school what it is, and you too will soon be one of us. You'll be impressed by how committed each and every team member is to your learning. The instructors, staff and other students make our environment friendly yet demanding and challenging, which stimulates all of us to achieve our best.
The class structure is the trademark of all Gracie Barra Schools. Classes start on time and adhere to a standardized curriculum and class structure. As a student, you know up front what is expected of you and have a clear understanding of what to expect from your instructors and training partners. The consistency of this structure combined with the creativity and innovation of our devoted instructors blend perfectly to facilitate your progress.
When you join Gracie Barra, you are not just getting classes. You become part of a community united by the ideals of the Jiu-Jitsu lifestyle. Special classes and side events coupled with ordinary classes create a fun and exciting calendar of activities that you and your family will love to take part in.
You don't come to class just to learn how to fight. You also work hard toward mastering the underlying principles that allow you to succeed on the mats. When applied to your life off the mats, these principles can bring more balance to your routine and help you reach your true potential.
There are over 700 Gracie Barra Schools worldwide. When you join a Gracie Barra school you are free to train at any location while traveling.
One of the most unique characteristics about our schools is our family-orientated approach. Gracie Barra is proud to be a powerhouse with the most stalwart champions of Jiu-Jitsu in the world while still maintaining a training environment that is welcoming for the whole family: men, women, and children. At Gracie Barra, families find marvelous activities through which to spend quality time together.
Cleanliness is a top priority. Our schools adhere to the strict standard of cleanliness and hygiene set by Gracie Barra. GB School staff clean the facilities constantly, and all GB uniforms are washed regularly. Our GB School mats are cleaned on a daily basis with a specially designed cleaning agent that neutralizes bacteria, fungus and odors without detriment to the equipment.
Student safety is our instructors' primary goal. Training sessions are supervised at all times, and we have CPR-trained personnel on duty during every class.
A certified Gracie Barra Black Belt instructor is responsible for teaching classes and is committed to Keeping the Legacy Alive.

A legacy of over 30 years of teaching experience is at your service, so you don't have to worry: you and your family are in great hands.
BJJ is built on leverage and technique over strength — which makes it uniquely well-suited for women. Here is why more and more women are choosing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Hamburg.
