Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Jiu Jitsu is for Everyone.
One of the fastest growing sports in the world, Brazilian jiu jitsu is a martial art and combat sport system that focuses on grappling and uses techniques from judo and wrestling to take the fight to the ground, gain advantageous positions and apply joint locks or chokes to immobilize opponent or make them submit, also known as a tap.
BJJ is founded on the principle that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger, heavier opponent, making it an ideal form of self defense for women and smaller people. We have members of all shapes, sizes, ages, genders and experience levels.
Our Program
Our program offers a structured curriculum for all the different components that make a well-rounded jiu jitsu fighter. That includes self defense, gi, modern no-gi, judo, wrestling and competition tactics. Whether you are looking to become a world champion, or simply just want to lose some weight while having fun, we have a class that can help you reach your goals.
Student work their way through the multiple levels of curriculum (basics, all levels, advanced and competition) to ensure we are meeting our students individual needs at their current skill level. We are not a “sink or swim” academy that throws everyone in together and see who survives. We put more of an emphasis on technique, drilling and positional training for faster and more efficient learning.
Beyond a comprehensive curriculum, we take a modern approach to instruction as well. Instead of a head instructor that limits your learning to one person’s background, specialty, body type, teaching style, etc., we utilize the variety of knowledge and styles that all of our black belt instructors have to offer. While some love Professor Gary’s high intensity warmups, others enjoy professor Tito’s relaxed vibe. Our instructors all work together to provide a collaborative learning environment that has something for everyone.
The Journey
Beginners with zero to little experience start out as a white belt. White belts will start their journey in our Basics class. Similar to other complicated topics such as math, it’s important to have a strong foundation to build upon. Many high level competitors will tell you that it’s all about the basics.
The next rank up is blue belt, which generally takes about 18 months of consistent training to achieve. Beyond that comes purple, brown and finally, black. Earning a black belt can take upwards of 8-10 years. Keep in mind you don’t need to be a black belt to be able to defend yourself or to be able to enjoy all the other benefits that come along with training jiu jitsu. In fact, learning still doesn’t stop just because you earned your black belt. Jiu jitsu is a complicated game with never ending learning. Practitioners should focus on the journey and enjoy the process rather than worry about belt color.
