The origins of BarraFIT can be traced back to the strength and conditioning training that was part of the experience of training at Gracie Barra in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in the 1990s.
As Gracie Barra has continued to evolve and make improvements to the GB Adult Programs and GBK Programs, much has been learned. Even though there are still many ways we can continue to improve on these programs, a few years ago Gracie Barra began to introduce a program dedicated to improving the fitness level of students and athletes - BarraFIT.
