We at 4 Elements Jiu-Jitsu Academy focus on Gracie self defense and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu fundamentals. My name is Michael Hagwood, I am the head instructor/ owner and I am under Ryron and Rener Gracie at the Gracie University Headquarters in Torrance, Ca. My mission with my school is to bring Gracie Jiu-Jitsu to my small Arizona desert community that didn't have a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu school.
