Code of Conduct – Gracie Barra Katy
A Culture Built on Character
At Gracie Barra, technique matters — but character matters more. Our Code of Conduct ensures that every student, instructor, and staff member contributes to a respectful, disciplined, and growth-minded environment. These principles shape our behavior on the mats and guide how we live off them.
The following values are not just expectations — they are commitments shared across the global Gracie Barra community.
Our Conducts
Gracie Barra Code of Conduct
Brotherhood
We are a family. Instructors nurture a sense of community among students, parents, and peers. We lift each other up — on and off the mats.
Discipline
We lead through consistency, not punishment. Instructors correct with calm authority, reinforcing structure and high standards through respectful guidance.
Respect
We treat every individual with equal care. Warmth and humility guide how we speak, train, and interact — regardless of age, ability, or background.
Inspiration
Instructors are role models, not just technicians. Their presence reminds students that Jiu-Jitsu is a vehicle for living with purpose and integrity.
Leadership
True authority comes from example. Instructors lead through kindness, clarity, and calm presence — always embodying the values we teach.
Cooperation
Jiu-Jitsu is a shared journey. We foster a culture where teammates train with care, compete with honor, and grow together.
Continuous Improvement
There is no finish line in Jiu-Jitsu. We approach each class as a new opportunity to learn, evolve, and support one another.
Enjoyment
Training is a privilege — never a burden. Each class is the realization of a dream, and every moment on the mat is to be respected and enjoyed.
Why This Matters
When you train at Gracie Barra Katy, you enter a space designed for intentional growth. These values help create the calm, focused, and respectful environment that defines who we are — and how we train.
This isn’t just how we act in class.
It’s how we live.
