PYTHON JIU-JITSU ACADEMY
CARLSON GRACIE JIU-JITSU TEAM
We are the only Jiu-Jitsu school in the Coachella Valley that is part of the Carlson Gracie Team. We teach the style of Jiu-Jitsu that was taught by the late Grandmaster Carlson Gracie. Most schools only teach either “Sport Jiu-Jitsu” or strictly "Self-Defense" Jiu-Jitsu but we cover both along with a unique striking system that works well with Jiu-Jitsu that gives students a well-rounded system.
Our Instructor earned his black belt in 2006 from Pedro Carvalho. He is currently a 4th degree black belt and is certified by the Jiu-Jitsu Federation of Rio de Janeiro and the Jiu-Jitsu Global Federation. He has been training and teaching, non-stop, since 1995 and has the Old School Jiu-Jitsu mentality.
He goes by the 70/30 percent training ideology which means that 70% of the training is focused on fighting and the remaining 30% is for competition.
Professor Ernest's Jiu-Jitsu lineage is as follows:
Mitsuyo Maeda > Carlos Gracie > Helio Gracie > Paulo Romito > Amelia Arruda > Anibal Braga > Pedro Carvalho > Ernest Estrada
