Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Intermediate DVD by Vacirca Brothers

One of the greatest challenges in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is that many practitioners stop training after earning their blue belt. For many students, the blue belt represents not only their first major milestone but also a solid understanding of the fundamental principles that form the core of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Unlike many martial arts, however, achieving a blue belt is only the beginning of a much deeper journey.

Following the curriculum passed down by Grandmaster Pedro Hemetério—one of the most influential students of the founders of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu—the Vacirca Brothers have organized a comprehensive 54-lesson program divided into four progressive modules: Fundamentals, Intermediate, Advanced Part 1, and Advanced Part 2. This structured approach provides students with a clear path from beginner to advanced practitioner while preserving the traditional teachings of the Gracie system.

Gracie Intermediate covers Lessons 24 through 34 and is designed primarily for students preparing to earn their purple belt. It is also an invaluable resource for anyone ready to move beyond the fundamentals and deepen their understanding of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. The material bridges the gap between Gracie Fundamentals and Gracie Advanced, introducing new concepts while reinforcing the principles that support long-term technical development.

Whether you are an individual practitioner seeking renewed motivation or an instructor looking for a structured teaching system, this program offers a clear roadmap for continued progress. It provides a complete overview of the curriculum leading toward advanced study and black belt proficiency, helping students better understand how each lesson fits into the larger Gracie Concepts® system. More than just a preparation guide for belt promotion, Gracie Intermediate is an investment in the future of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and the next generation of dedicated practitioners.
