I stayed at a the JW Marriott in Copacabana. It's an expensive hotel and the ONLY way I could afford it is because one of the guys I went with knew someone and we got the "hook-up" for a much reduced price.
Copacabana is about a 20-25 minute taxi ride (depending on traffic) from Barra da Tijuca (location of Gracie Barra). It is also about a 20-25 minute taxi ride in the other direction from Copacabana to the event location - i.e., The Tijuca Tenis Clube in Tijuca (not to be confused with Barra da Tijuca).
Intsead of a taxi, you can take the subway from Copacabana to the Tenis Clube. It takes a little bit more time (maybe 30 minutes?), but you can't beat the subway price. The taxi is about R$ 25 ( about $10 USA) and the subway is only R$2.25 (about $1.00 USA). Also, the subway system is new, clean, and safe and you don't have to worry about a taxi driver taking you on the scenic route.
