Gracie Barra was well represented by Babalu at the Affliction show last night with a great victory.
Congratulations Babalu! From Gracie Barra Jiu Jitsu Encinitas.
Below are some pictures of the future of Gracie Barra Encinitas training and getting promoted.
On the quest for continuing improvement and always looking to better serve our students and guests, Gracie Barra Encinitas together with Gracie Barra Wear will launch a special Gi sale starting next Monday, July 22nd.
Here is the special deal:
1 - If you are a Gracie Barra student just bring in your old non-GB Gi from any brand. (Gracie Barra wear will donate those Gis in Brazil)
2 -Gracie Barra wear will prompt sell to you an Official Gracie Barra Gi for 50% of the regular price. (Please talk to our dear Avi Rubin the GB America Pro-shop representative Monday - Friday from 5pm-9pm)
Our goal is to have more consistency with our uniforms on the mats. Lets set the example and have the number 13 of the Gracie Barra Dojo etiquette well represented at our School:
“13. All students must wear the official Gracie Barra uniform. The uniform pants and top must be the same color.”
Note: That special promotion goes until August 15th.

Gracie Barra Encinitas: “Organized like a team, fighting like a family!”
On Saturday 19th our very Renato “Babalu” Sobral will step into the MMA arena once more on a great show called: Affliction Banned. Babalu will face the wrestler Mike Whitehead.
Affliction Banned will showcase this historic event July 19th at the Honda Center in Anaheim, with a stacked card of MMA megastars.
Lots of Gracie Barra members are going there to support Babalu, don’t miss that opportunity to support our champ and to see some great fights. We will get together after the event to party at the Grove in Anaheim. Everybody is invited, bring your friends and we will have a lot of fun!

Renato “Babalu” Sobral is not only a MMA World Class Fighter and a Gracie Barra Black Belt under Master Carlos Gracie Jr. but first and foremost he is a great Teammate. His attitude towards the School and his Teammates makes us very proud of having a Champ like him on the Team.
Hey Babalu,
In behalf of all Gracie Barra Members we would like to wish you all the best on your upcoming fight!
Here are couple pictures from Babalu supporting the Team
