can somebody give me a list of the 34 Gracie combatives ?

The Gracie Combatives program provided us with 34 essential Gracie self-defense techniques organized into 22 lessons. Each one hour class covered one stand-up technique and one ground technique. Rener walked my instructors and me through each class to ensure that we understood the techniques, key teaching points, common mistakes, and safety considerations. Once satisfied, he certified us to teach the course and to award up to four Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy stripes to white belts. When students complete the course, they enter the next step in their training -- fight simulations -- during which the real effectiveness of the Gracie Combatives program becomes evident as they combine the techniques in a series of drills. Once the student is proficient in fight simulation, Ryron or Rener assess them for promotion to blue belt...again, not just any blue belt, but a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy blue belt. That alone is an amazing incentive for your students and it gives your program undeniable credibility regardless of your personal skill level as a jiu-jitsu practitioner.

The Gracie Combatives program is a training program and guide. You can opt to take when you either train in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu(Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu taught by the Gracie family), or through DVD's. I suggest that if you want to learn Gracie or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, find an academy that teaches one or the other, then ask about the Combatives program. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are very effective martial arts. Royce Gracie used Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu when he competed in the first five UFC tournaments, winning three of them. Also, most MMA fighters train in BJJ.
