🇺🇸
Our curriculum focuses on American Jiu-Jitsu. A hybrid style that combines the best techniques and approaches from grappling-based martial arts from, such as freestyle/Greco-Roman Wrestling, Judo, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Russian Sambo. This approach producer grapplers capable of executing effective take downs, ground control, escape, and submission skills. The purpose is to have a style of jiu jitsu that is extremely effective in Martial Art competition, while being equally equipped with techniques that teach you how to fight in real life.
Our dedication to cleanliness cannot be understated. We uphold stringent hygiene standards. After every class, we meticulously clean and disinfect the training surfaces, ensuring a pristine and safe training environment in our academy.
Our culture is focused on having fun while creating a community of problem-solving, effective, and strong-willed martial artists who help each other reach their unique potential. We believe in meeting our students where they are when they start their training and then building their purpose, discipline, health, and technique to become better versions of themselves.
Training jiu-jitsu is challenging, but with the right team, commitment, and instruction, along with a clean, safe environment, we know our students will discover powerful rewards on and off the mats and reach their goals.
Self Defense
There is simply no better martial art to use for self defense than Jiu Jitsu. Most all fights and street altercations will hit the ground within the first 30 seconds, once that happens there is no comparison. A jiu jitsu practitioner is taught how to move in ways that are foreign to most people. Simply put when on the ground with a jiu jitsu fighter, the ground is the ocean and they are the shark.
Jiu Jitsu is a Martial Art for all
Jiu Jitsu is a martial art and combat sport that can be done by anyone of any background or age! 95% of our students never did a martial art in their life and lots of others haven’t done a sport in forever. We cater classes to students of all ages. We offer classes based on technique, that carry a relaxed vibe, and we also have very intense training that caters to students with competition aspirations as well. However contrary to popular belief competition is NOT required and 85% of our students have and will never compete in BJJ competitions or MMA. We want you training! If that leads to competition or not is not even a thought. Come learn something new and have fun!
