Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has so many advantages and benefits, but one of the best ones is the fact that BJJ allows you to meet a ton of new people and make new friends. Sometimes, even though this is something to look forward to, not everyone is so keen on this idea. That said, training Jiu Jitsu with a friend/partner can be an amazing start for people who want to experience all the benefits of BJJ but are feeling hesitant to take the first step on their own. SO bring yourself and a friend if you’d like. Stop in and check us out. YOUR FIRST CLASS IS ALWAYS FREE!!

HEY! Are you a parent questioning if your child should participate or join a Kids Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program? It’s normal but let me tell you why you should.

As a parent/guardian it’s common to teach & tell your child not to hit or fight, but while the advice is traditional, is it realistic? With nearly 25% of children being bullied, it seems almost unfair to teach them not to stand up for themselves, this could lead to them losing their self confidence. Instead, putting them in a martial arts program - Kids BJJ, it is all about protection and respect. Other than developing skills and learning how to use those skills properly to defend themselves against a bully, Kids BJJ has so MANY benefits for your growing child.

See our flyer & schedule below. Drop in to one of our Kids BJJ classes and try it out. Your first class is FREE.

"Jiu jitsu and martial arts do not build character, they reveal it. We are all born with unmeasurable courage and determination, but it is as we go through the trials of rigorous training that we rediscover those gifts." - Ricardo Almeida

What a team my friends...What a team!!! It really is a privilege to work with these guys... This weekend Joel Dorris, Tony Russo & Professor Ed Nickels they put on a Jiu-Jitsu show at World's IBJJF No Gi 2023 & Southeastern Submission Classic Congratulations and thank you team... My mat family!!

Dedication is essential for good results... Never believe in magic formulas for success, it's a lie!!! What exists is hard work all the time!!

Do not give up… When you face challenges and don't give up, you have the opportunity to learn and grow. Each obstacle you overcome makes you stronger and more resilient… In those moments, you learn an incredible lesson: Don't walk alone! Walk along with others and you'll get further, and the day you think about giving up, you'll have someone to lift you up... Oss Thank you for walking alongside me.

(Ecclesiastes 4:9-10) ”It is better to have two than one, because two people working together can gain much more. If one of them falls, the other helps he to get up. But if someone is alone and falls, they are in a bad situation because there is no one to help them get up.”

Jiu Jitsu is a martial art that demands a lot from its practitioners in terms of technique, physical and mental conditioning. To become a good fighter, you need to dedicate hours of training, pay attention to details and constantly seek improvement. This mentality of striving for excellence can be applied to other areas of life, both personal and professional.

By dedicating themselves to training, practitioners learn to persevere in the face of challenges and difficulties, in addition to striving to achieve their goals. This same mentality can be applied to other aspects of life, such as work or studies.

By constantly seeking to improve your skills and knowledge, you can stand out in your career and achieve a level of excellence in everything you do.

Jiu Jitsu culture encourages healthy competition and the search for ever greater challenges. This can help practitioners develop their confidence and courage, allowing them to face difficult situations more easily.

Learn to defend yourself with confidence! Jiu Jitsu is a complete martial art that develops efficient self-defense skills. Come be part of this journey of empowerment and personal protection!
