Train For Self-Defense:  BJJ was designed for the smaller fighter to defeat the physically superior.  Jiu-Jitsu more than evens the playing field by taking the fight to where you’re most comfortable, and minimizing the bigger guy’s advantages.  Headlocks, Bear Hugs, Chokes, Punches: you’ll learn how to defend against them all and bring your opponent into your arena.

Train For Confidence: Your self-esteem skyrockets when you can truly hold your own.  Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gives you not only technique and strategy, but a whole new view on your own abilities.

‍Train For Fitness: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu works muscles that don’t get used in conventional workouts, while at the same time providing an intense cardio experience.  Burn calories while you learn!

‍Train For Fun:  Bottom line:  BJJ is fun.  Step out of your routine, relieve your stress, sweat, and work on yourself – with students who are there to help.

Frequently Asked Questions:

- I've never done martial arts in my life.  Can I handle this? We get new students with zero experience starting all the time.  You don't need an ounce of previous training to learn BJJ.  I break things down into small chunks so even the newest jiu-jitsu player can learn and improve.

- Am I too old to start?  No, BJJ can be done at any age. Helio Gracie, one of the founders of BJJ, trained into his late nineties.

- Do I have to fight and get punched in the face?  No!  While you will learn to defend against a variety of attacks, you'll never have to "get in the cage."  You can train in BJJ for your own reasons and goals!

- Do you spar?  The good news is YES!  Rolling (sparring) is a critical part of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training.   Sparring is the very best way to gain self-defense confidence.  The even better news is that once you know what you're doing, you can safely spar in every class without getting hurt, unlike striking-based martial arts.  Secondly, our school has a strong teamwork atmosphere and everyone is here to help each other improve.

- Is BJJ just for men?  Not at all, we have women training too.  In fact, I think jiu-jitsu is extremely important for women to learn because of its emphasis on defending against a larger, stronger, more aggressive opponent.

- Do you always wear a gi in class?  We work on gi and no-gi jiu-jitsu to be well-rounded.
