Advanced Jiu-Jitsu for Dedicated Practitioners

A Structured Path from Blue to Black Belt.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can be very confusing and overwhelming, especially at the advanced level. In our Master Cycle Advanced Jiu-Jitsu Classes we’ve taken over 600 techniques and divided them into 7 Positional Chapters so you can learn in a highly-structured and easy-to-follow format, and it’s located right here in Omaha!
Leave Your Ego at the Door.
Too often advanced jiu-jitsu instruction is approached with a sink-or-swim attitude that leads many students to quit due to loss of interest, embarrassment, or injury.
We prioritize the safety of our students, so they can enjoy learning and exploring the art of jiu-jitsu in a cooperative and ego-free environment.
Join the Family. Live the Lifestyle.
Beyond the self-defense, our advanced jiu-jitsu program offers both physical and mental health benefits. There are few workouts as challenging, fun, and mentally stimulating as our Master Cycle classes.
Our Omaha students start coming for the jiu-jitsu, but stay for the life-long health benefits of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.
What Our Students Say
I’ve been training in various martial arts for 31 years. While I did not grow up with the Gracie University system (it didn’t exist yet), I have watched it grow and mature into the most comprehensive training available. We can argue attributes of sparring all day long, but nothing comes close to level of professionalism and commitment to long-term performance as Gracie Omaha. Thank you, Brian and team for taking in a worn down stray and inspiring me to find joy in Jiu Jitsu again.
I joined Gracie Jiu-Jitsu about a month ago. One of my daughter's and I had been talking about doing a self defense class. She found Gracie here in Omaha and we could not be more happy with our choice! The leaders are truly wonderful people that care about you and your experience with them! I LOVE my class and absolutely HATE to miss it! I walk out of there truly feeling empowered and ready to take on the world! they might have just found a customer for life!
My husband found the studio in August and our entire family has since joined as members. The kids are thriving in the Bullyproof kids program which is such a great program to give confidence and strength in positive ways to kids. Brian is an amazing coach and adapts to the atmosphere when different personalities are present. The fact that the studio is family run is a huge plus. We love supporting local owners and families.
I am part of the Women Empowered Program which is an amazing community of women. Brian and Nicole have taught me so much and I continue to learn from them technique and situational awareness recognition. Brian brings in his perspective from the law enforcement background and Nicole brings a lot of practical thoughts from a women’s perspective. I look forward to going each week. I now watch the videos available to me to refresh and study before class.
My husband is in the Combatives program and has loved the variety in students who come from all backgrounds and expertise. The studio is focused on techniques based on typical scenarios mimicking real life. Eventually we practice reflex development when we master techniques. It’s a great community full of positive people in a safe environment. I tell everyone I know about them and will continue to support this studio as my own family grows with them. We love Brian and Nicole!!
My wife and I visited this summer. The facility was spotless. We felt welcome from the moment we walked in. All the students were working together and cooperating. It was a safe and positive learning environment. Brian is a confident and humble instructor. We would highly recommend GJJ Omaha for anybody of any age or athletic ability!

The Gracie Difference
Systematic Instruction
We’ve organized all of BJJ into seven positional chapters – Mount, Side Mount, Guard, Half Guard, Back Mount, Leg Locks, Standing – each of which is studied for several months before moving on to the next chapter.
'Punch-Safe' Techniques
Master Cycle explores a wide variety of sport and self-defense techniques with an emphasis on learning “punch-safe” techniques that will help you stay safe in a street altercation.
Focused Sparring
Master Cycle includes a variety of controlled training exercises, such as Rapid Mastery Drills, Focused Sparring Exercises, and Fight Simulation Drills. Safety is the primary concern during these sparring exercises and sparring is 100% voluntary for Master Cycle students.
Frequently Asked Questions
You must have completed the Gracie Combatives program and earned your Combatives belt. This ensures all Master Cycle students share a common technical foundation for safe, productive training.
Live sparring is a core component of the Master Cycle and is required for belt promotion. However, sparring is always controlled and supervised, and you'll be matched with appropriate partners as you develop.
Most dedicated students earn their blue belt within 1-2 years of starting the Master Cycle, though everyone progresses at their own pace. Consistency and quality of training matter more than time on the mat.
