Our Training Styles & Curriculum

Built on that Gracie foundation, our hybrid curriculum blends the best techniques from multiple martial arts so you can protect yourself and your family in any situation. Most real fights end up in a clinch or on the ground, and that's exactly where our students excel.

Whether your goal is self defense, competition, or getting in the best shape of your life, our training gives you practical skills that work under real pressure.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ)

The foundation of our academy and one of the most effective self defense systems ever developed. Gracie Jiu Jitsu uses leverage, technique, and timing so a smaller person can control and neutralize a larger, stronger attacker. We train both Gi and No Gi, so you'll be ready whether you're wearing a jacket or a t shirt. You'll learn how to escape bad positions, get back to your feet safely, and control an attacker without throwing a single punch.

No Gi Jiu Jitsu

Jiu Jitsu without the kimono, trained in a rash guard and shorts. No Gi is faster and more athletic, with more scrambles, wrestling and leg locks. It is the closest thing to a real street fight, since nobody is wearing a gi in the parking lot, and it is the foundation of submission grappling and MMA.

Wrestling

We blend folkstyle, freestyle and Greco Roman wrestling into one practical system: explosive takedowns, clinch work, hand fighting and heavy top pressure. For self defense, wrestling lets you decide whether a fight stays standing or goes to the ground, and keeps you on top when it does.

Judo

The legendary Japanese art of throws and trips. Judo teaches you to use an attacker's own momentum against them, stay on your feet, and put them on the ground while you remain in control.

Russian Sambo

The name literally means "self defense without weapons." Developed for real world combat, Sambo blends wrestling and Judo with aggressive takedowns and leg locks, giving our students a practical and unpredictable edge.

Why Our Approach Works for Self Defense

Real confrontations are chaotic, and you can't afford gaps in your skills. By combining the Gracie Jiu Jitsu you get from the Carlson Gracie line, the takedowns and positioning of wrestling, the throws of Judo, and the toughness of Sambo, we give you a complete system for staying safe standing up, in the clinch, and on the ground. Every technique is pressure tested with live training, so you know it works.
