Head Instructor

Ralph Gracie Waco is owned by Professor Chris Gonzales, who is a 2nd Degree Black Belt under Ralph Gracie. 

Our Philosophy

BJJ is founded on the concept that a smaller person can defend themselves against a bigger opponent by using technique, leverage, taking the fight to the ground, and then utilizing joint locks and chokeholds to defeat the opponent. 


Professor Gonzales is also an IBJJF certified Black Belt. Ralph Gracie Waco is an IBJJF certified Academy. 

Thank you for sponsoring our Athletes at the 2024 IBJJF Waco Open
