Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is the art of control, leverage, and technique — a combat discipline that teaches how to overcome strength with strategy. Our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu / Grappling program focuses on positional dominance, submissions, and escapes, developing both physical ability and mental composure.

Classes combine technical instruction, drilling, and live rolling to help students apply concepts in real-time, whether for MMA, self-defense, or competition.

What You’ll Learn

This program builds mastery from the ground up, focusing on efficiency, adaptability, and precision. Students will develop:

  • Positional control — mastering guard, mount, side control, and back positions.
  • Submissions and escapes — learning chokes, locks, and transitions under pressure.
  • Movement and timing — understanding leverage and flow to overcome stronger opponents.
  • Grappling for MMA — incorporating takedowns, defense, and ground transitions.
  • Situational awareness — reading your opponent and adapting dynamically.

Who This Class Is For

Ideal for anyone who wants to:

  • Learn practical ground fighting and submission techniques
  • Improve performance in MMA or self-defense contexts
  • Develop patience, precision, and problem-solving under pressure
  • Build endurance, strength, and mental resilience
