Renzo Gracie Academy is a martial arts school headed by Renzo Gracie, located in Midtown Manhattan.

Overview

Renzo Gracie founded the academy in 1996.[1] It was originally above a methadone clinic before it moved to its current location at 224 West 30th Street.[1][2]

It was one of the camps participating in the International Fight League. Coached by Gracie, it took the place of the New York Pitbulls who were the 2007 IFL champions.[3] The camp was established in 2008 when the IFL switched to a more camp based system than a team based system.

The Danaher Death Squad was a team under the academy that was established in 2011 before going independent in 2020. [4]
