Instructors


INSTRUCTOR: Salvatore Pace

For over 25 years I have been training in various martial arts from Thai Boxing to Western Boxing, MMA and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.  During this time I have competed on the highest level and won a vast range of titles including the British Championship and World Championship in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. 

I am currently working with some Bath Rugby and England International stars such as Matthew Stevens, Lee Mears and Duncan Bell.  The Gracie Barra Bath academy is growing in success every year with some excellent up and coming Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioners/competitors and MMA fighters.
