Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling-based martial art that focuses on taking an opponent to the ground, wrestling for dominant position, and submitting with chokes and joint locks. BJJ enables you to use leverage and position to prevail over your opponent regardless of size.

BJJ classes follow a structured curriculum to set a strong foundation. Each class starts with a brief warmup, followed by fundamental movement and technique drills. Each class ends with live grappling to apply what we’ve learned.
​Our No-Gi BJJ classes are based on the hybrid style of combat submission wrestling developed by MMA pioneer, Erik Paulson. Blending BJJ, catch wrestling, and collegiate wrestling provides well-rounded grappling skills.
