Gracie Jiu Jitsu Las Vegas

Gracie Jiu Jitsu Las Vegas operates at 5243 W Charleston Blvd #3 in Las Vegas, Nevada. As an established academy representing the Gracie Humaita lineage, the school delivers Brazilian jiu-jitsu instruction and practical self-defense education to students across the Las Vegas valley. Instruction at the academy is headed by Professor Amilcar "Mica" Cipili, a sixth-degree black belt who originally brought official Gracie Jiu-Jitsu instruction to Las Vegas. The coaching staff guides classes through systematic movement drills, positional control, defensive frames, escapes, and submission holds. Coaches emphasize leverage and mechanical efficiency over raw power, fostering a safe and disciplined training environment suited for beginning hobbyists and experienced grapplers alike. The academy provides organized curriculum pathways for participants across multiple age groups. Programs feature adult jiu-jitsu training tracks and youth classes designed to cultivate confidence, discipline, respect, and self-defense skills. Training combines positional sparring, technique repetitions, and physical conditioning to build cardiovascular fitness, bodily composure, and functional grappling proficiency.
