History
Established in 2011.
Owner, Alan Stockman, has been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu since 1997, when he discovered it while living in Fortaleza, Brazil. After many years of training and teaching, he decided to open this Academy in his hometown of Greenwood, so that he could pass on the knowledge that has picked up over time.

Meet the Business Owner
Alan S.
Business Owner
Alan began training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under Luiz Filho in Fortaleza, Brazil in 1997. He lived, trained, and competed in Brazil for almost four years, traveling between Fortaleza, Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre, and Recife, learning Portuguese and earning two stripes on his blue belt before returning to the United States.
«I had briefly studied other martial arts growing up but never found anything in them that captured my interest,» said Stockman. «Jiu-Jitsu’s demand for strategy, memory, will, cardio, strength, flexibility and spirit was what I had been looking for. Later, as I continued my training, I began to see that the depth, strategy and patience required by Jiu-Jitsu was as stimulating and rewarding as one of my favorite games — chess! Then the physical aspect of diligent training methods, the calculated preparation of peaking for a competition, all of this required the same type of discipline and was consistent with what I had experienced being a competitive cyclist.
