Gracie Humaita Omaha

Gracie Humaitá Omaha teaches Brazilian Jiu Jitsu based on the Gracie Humaitá curriculum, with practical self defense as the core of its adult classes and extra attention to fitness and personal growth. The academy also runs a kids program split into groups for ages 3 to 5, 6 to 9, and 10 to 14, with an emphasis on confidence, self-discipline, respect and anti-bullying techniques. Women-only self defense classes cover simulations and everyday scenarios, and the academy holds seminars with guest instructors.

Newcomers can book a free trial that includes a tour of the gym and an introduction to the team, with no obligation. Private lessons and small group training are also available. The academy is at 823 Tara Plaza in Papillion, and the instructors include head instructor Rob Luhrs, who holds a black belt in Gracie Jiu Jitsu.
