The creation of Gracie University, an interactive martial arts instructional website designed for distance learning, is the brothers’ most significant accomplishment as instructors and the backbone of the distance education division of the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy. Gracie University had over 60,000 students from 196 countries registered for instruction through the website within three years of its launch in 2008. As of 2011, the Gracie University offers online instruction for all of its courses. Some jiu-jitsu practitioners have criticized the University for awarding belts through online instruction believing that a physical test is the only valid assessment of a student’s ability. The brothers acknowledge that hands-on instruction is superior to distance learning, but believe that the rigor and fidelity of their video evaluation system sustain a sufficiently high standard to justify the program – especially for students who lack access to resident instruction. Furthermore, a blue belt awarded by video evaluation is called “technical blue belt” (which is white, with a blue stripe running the full length of the belt) indicating that the student has mastered the required techniques. An “official” Gracie Jiu-Jitsu blue belt and all higher belts can only be awarded by a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu certified instructor following an extended, in-person evaluation of the student. In 2017, the brothers moved to a larger facility and renamed the school Gracie University to reflect the global expansion through online training and proliferation of Certified Training Centers.
Rener married his longtime partner, Eve Torres, in Santa Barbara, California, on April 13, 2014. Eve is a purple belt in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and currently works as a spokeswoman and head instructor for the Gracie Women Empowered Self-defense program. They live in Torrance, California with their dog, Tioki (pronounced “cho-kee”). Their first son, Raeven Gracie, was born on September 28, 2015. Their second son, Renson Gracie, was born on August 28, 2018.
