Renzo Gracie Academy is a martial arts school headed by Renzo Gracie, located in Midtown Manhattan.
Overview
Renzo Gracie founded the academy in 1996. It was originally above a methadone clinic before it moved to its current location at 224 West 30th Street.
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. 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.
