ELEVATE YOUR GRAPPLING WITH Brazilian Jiujitsu
COMMAND THE GROUND WITH CONFIDENCE
Our Brazilian Jiujitsu program focuses on techniques and concepts to help students become more confident as ground fighters.
GENERAL INFORMATION
WHAT IS BRAZILIAN JIUJITSU?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on ground fighting and submission grappling. It emphasizes technique and leverage, enabling practitioners to defend themselves against larger opponents through a variety of techniques, including joint locks and chokeholds.
Unlike traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, which incorporates a broader range of techniques including striking and standing throws, BJJ is primarily centered around ground control and submissions. This specialization allows practitioners to develop a deep understanding of positional strategy and fluid transitions, making it distinct in its approach to self-defense and competition.

No one has to spar if they don't feel comfortable! Typically, we require any new students to come to class consistently for at least 6 months before they're allowed to spar. Even then, it will always be up to their comfort level.
The only exceptions to this are…
Students have had prior sparring experience.
Both the student and instructor agree that the student is ready to spar.
If you have any other questions or concerns about sparring, please talk with your instructor.
-
Unless a new student has had previous martial arts training, we require any new students to have trained with us for at least a year—including sparring in class—before signing them up for competitions or tournaments. Aside from coming to class, students who want to compete will be assessed based on their level of technique and fundamentals.
Competitive fighting of any sort is highly risky to anyone's health, and should be considered with the utmost care. While we applaud and support anyone who wants to compete in local fights or martial arts tournaments, we put a priority on safety before anything else.
For anyone to be eligible for competitions, they must meet the following requirements:
Must be no younger than 16 years of age.
Must have proof of health insurance (either parent/guardian's or own policy)
Must have their own gear and equipment that is up to the organization's standards
