Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Orlando, owned by James Bejer, an Orlando native, and U.S. Navy veteran, will provide high-quality self-defense training and education to all ages of adults and children. This self-defense system is based on the Gracie University curriculum and has been tested and proven successful for over a hundred years around the world.
