 Lineage

Gracie Humaita - Willis

Lineage matters! Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is a highly complex and technical martial art and sport. Understanding the details of each technique are extremely important. Jiu-Jitsu is very often compared to the game of chess and for good reason. Skill, strategy and technical ability far outweigh physical ability and aggression.


Gracie Humaitá in Brazil was the very first Brazilian jiu-jitsu academy in the world when it was established by Grandmaster Hélio Gracie. Since that time, the art and sport of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu has evolved and become incredibly popular throughout the United States and beyond.


Our academy here in Eureka, MO is one of the official Gracie Humaitá academies and part of the Gracie Humaitá Association. We have a direct lineage to the origins of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu itself!

Professor Brian Imholz

Founder, co-owner, and co-head instructor of Gracie Eureka, Professor Brian is a 3rd degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt with years of training, competition, and teaching experience.

As a dedicated martial artist, Brian has competed at a high level, tested his skills against some of the best, and earned respect for both his technical knowledge and his leadership on the mats. His goal is to share that same passion with every student—whether they’re stepping on the mats for the first time or preparing for competition.

 Private Lessons

Private lessons are a fantastic way to improve your technical ability at a much faster rate than by only attending group lessons. These are in no way required but depending on your schedule and/or your jiu-jitsu goals, private lessons are a proven method of success.

In each private session you can expect about 45-60 minutes of instruction and drilling that is catered to your specific jiu-jitsu goals. The lesson plan can be determined either by your or by the instructor and you should expect to take notes and or record your session if you so choose. You may also bring an "uke" (training partner) with your for the lesson as well.

 PRIVATE LESSONS:

 COST: $100 per session

 UKE: Yes, preferred

 LENGTH: 45-60 minutes

 WHEN: By Appointment Only
