Our Jiu Jitsu program promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique, taking the fight to the ground — most notably by applying joint-​locks and chokeholds to defeat your opponent.

We instruct students of all ages, from a variety of backgrounds and abilities each aspiring to attain their own personal training goals.

The class learning environment is respectful, focused, and spirited. The more experienced students regularly help the beginners learn and grow.
