Directions

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) translates to "the gentle art".

BJJ is primarily a ground-based (grappling) martial art. BJJ focuses on techniques that optimize positioning, leverages and pressure to submit or control an opponent.

What Do You Need To Get Started:

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Gi (we can help you get one!)

Open-mindedness

Desire to learn

Willingness to have fun along the way

Benefits of BJJ

Real Life-Application

Whether you plan to be a hobbyist or a competitor, there is real-life application that you will learn from BJJ.

Develop A Healthy Lifestyle

When you find something that you truly enjoy, there's a pretty good chance that you'll continue to do that very thing. BJJ works your body and your mind.

Gives You A Challenge

BJJ can sometimes be referenced as "human chess", and once you start to grapple live, you'll understand why.

It's For Everyone

Seriously - it is. We have been in the marital arts world for over a decade and we've crossed (and still do) people of all walks of life that enjoy training and learning BJJ.

“When we say jiu jitsu is a gentle art, we mean that. Jiu jitsu gives you the choice to choose to hurt someone or not.”
