The Gracie Combatives® program teaches leverage-based techniques that allow anyone, regardless of age or athletic ability, to effectively defend against larger, stronger opponents.
In this seminar, you’ll learn a few foundational techniques that allow you to neutralize specific threats from a larger, more aggressive attacker.
Anyone, ages 13 and up, who wants to learn realistic and practical self defense. No experience or prior knowledge is necessary!






Perfect! This seminar is designed for you. We take great pride in having the safest and most structured beginners programs available.
The event is suitable for ages 13 and up. We ask that anyone under 18 years of age be accompanied by an adult.
No problem. Although fun and informative, this seminar will not be strenuous, making it suitable for students all ages and physical abilities.
Comfortable workout attire is all you need. We recommend a t-shirt and sweats or shorts that cover the knee.
You will learn several simple, highly effective techniques from the Gracie Combatives® program. By the time the seminar is complete, you will understand why the world is falling in love with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and why Gracie Combatives® is the chosen path for so many beginners around the world.
For those who absolutely love the seminar and want to continue learning, we will make a one-time special discounted training offer available at the end of the event.
There are zero fitness requirements to be able to start our beginner Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes! One of the benefits of BJJ is that it relies on technique and timing rather than strength, speed, or athleticism.
All our students start at different fitness levels, however, you will find that you do enhance your fitness by doing our BJJ classes at Wien.
Just show up! Upon arriving, you will be given a uniform (called a ‘gi’) and will be given a focused introductory lesson by one of our instructors before you join in the group class.
Every beginner class is taught with no previous experience necessary, so you will not feel left behind.
Our program is structured by class number (23 group classes), so you will always know exactly what techniques you will be learning on any given day. You can even check out the techniques of the day on GracieUniversity.com before class to get a head start!
Not at all. In fact, many students starting in our adult martial arts classes may have described themselves like that before they started. There is absolutely no experience necessary for any of our beginner classes. You will fit right in!
Give yourself some time, and you will be astounded at what your body is capable of, and how much you can improve! Our certified martial arts instructors are trained to keep their teaching simple, effective, and beginner-focused. So even the most uncoordinated person will develop ’ninja-like’ skills! Come see for yourself!

Additionally, you can always give us a call. We would love to chat with you about what we do, and to help you determine if our martial arts classes in Vienna would be a great fit for you and your family!
Absolutely! Specifically because Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) has proven reliable in defending against larger opponents for nearly a century, it is the perfect martial art for women.
We love seeing the physical confidence develop in our female students as they gain self-defense skills on the mat!
Upon arriving for your first jiu-jitsu class, we will provide a uniform, called a gi, for you wear. We recommend showing up in comfortable undergarments or leggings, and a t-shirt or rashguard that you can wear under your gi. We will also have training attire available for purchase after your class.
If you already own a gi (from Judo training for example), feel free to bring it!
