Our doors are open to all, regardless of age, gender or physical condition.

About Us img
img img

Jiu Jitsu is a self-defense art rooted in Japan and its samurai warriors. The word 柔術 (jūjutsu) is composed of two kanji characters. 柔 (jū) "yielding flexibility" and 術 (jutsu) "art, skill." In time, the development has taken this effective martial art beyond the Asian continental border. Indeed, history has brought together Jiu Jitsu and a Brazilian family with Scottish roots called Gracie. This was to have a significant contribution to the development and success of the art of self-defense.

I started to learn BJJ fundamentals when I turned 40! By far, the best decision i took in recent years to improve my health and mind, physically and mentally. Gracie Zug school is built upon trust, equality, motivation, discipline and teamwork. Liliano is a great coach and a mentor, his passion to teach and continuously improve others inspires everyone around him, both on and off the mats. Sometimes, I feel that i should have started to learn BJJ much earlier in life, but hey, if i can continue for the next 40 years, I have no complaints :) Overall, a great BJJ school with an excellent Master running it! Give it a try and you won’t regret it!

I had the pleasure of visiting Gracie Zug with a group of friends during a recent trip, and it was a great experience. Liliano and the team made us feel completely welcome. The atmosphere was friendly, respectful, embodying the essence of Jiu-Jitsu. Liliano’s coaching was clear and technical. He taught techniques in a way that was easy to understand for beginners and also explained deeper details for those more experienced. If you’re ever in the area and looking for a place to train, I highly recommend stopping by Gracie Zug. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced practitioner, you’ll get top-quality instruction and be welcomed like part of the family. Looking forward to visiting again in the future!

I’ve been training at Gracie Zug Jiu Jitsu for over a year now, and it’s easily one of the best BJJ schools I’ve experienced. Liliano is an exceptional instructor, explaining every technique in detail and ensuring we understand not just the how but the why behind each move. He takes the time to refine technique to perfection, rather than rushing through. The class environment is spotless, the students are welcoming, and sessions run punctually. It is a fantastic place to train, regardless of level. Highly recommended!
