Meet Robson Gracie Jr: The Next Generation of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu
Few names carry as much weight in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) as the Gracie family. From the origins of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu to the evolution of modern sport BJJ and MMA, the Gracie legacy has shaped martial arts for generations. Today, that legacy continues through one of its brightest stars: Robson Gracie Jr.
As an IBJJF World Champion, professional MMA fighter, and instructor at the world-renowned Renzo Gracie Academy in New York City, Robson Gracie Jr. represents the perfect blend of tradition and innovation. His partnership with Revgear reflects a shared commitment to excellence, performance, and the future of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
A Legacy Built on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Born into one of the most respected families in martial arts, Robson Gracie Jr. is the son of Robson Gracie Sr. and the grandson of Carlos Gracie, one of the founders of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.
Growing up surrounded by champions, Robson began training at just three years old. Jiu-Jitsu wasn't simply a hobby—it became his way of life. Decades of dedication have transformed him into one of the sport's most respected competitors, coaches, and ambassadors.
Today, Robson continues the Gracie tradition while helping shape the next generation of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners.
IBJJF World Champion and Professional MMA Fighter
Robson Gracie Jr. has established himself as one of the elite competitors in modern grappling.
As a two-stripe Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, he has earned major success on the international tournament circuit, including becoming an IBJJF World Champion.
His skills extend well beyond grappling. Robson also developed a strong striking game, allowing him to transition successfully into mixed martial arts. Competing for Bellator MMA, he built an impressive professional record, showcasing the well-rounded skill set that defines today's elite martial artists.
Whether competing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or MMA, Robson demonstrates the technical precision, discipline, and relentless work ethic that have become synonymous with the Gracie name.
Teaching at the Renzo Gracie Academy
While competition remains important, Robson's greatest passion is teaching.
Based in New York City, he serves as one of the lead instructors at the famous Renzo Gracie Academy, helping students of all ages develop world-class Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills.
His older brother, Renzo Gracie, has played a major role throughout Robson's career. After several planned MMA debuts fell through while training at Brazilian Top Team in 2014, Renzo invited his younger brother to New York to continue developing his career.
That move proved life-changing.
Today, Robson is one of the academy's most respected instructors, mentoring everyone from beginners to elite competitors while traveling internationally to teach seminars across the United States, Brazil, and Europe.
