Adult Gi Jiu Jitsu

Learn the art of leverage, control, and submission in the traditional gi (uniform).
Gi training sharpens grips, balance, and positional mastery — giving you the technical foundation to thrive under pressure.

✅ Fundamentals for beginners.
✅ Advanced techniques for experienced players.
✅ Live rolling in every class.

Students will learn proper Jiu-Jitsu techniques handed down from generations of BJJ teachers

Adult No-Gi Jiu Jitsu

Fast-paced, tactical Jiu Jitsu without the gi.
No-gi classes build explosive movement, transitions, and submission chains — perfect for grapplers, MMA fighters, and anyone looking to expand their skills.

✅ Takedowns, sweeps, and submissions.
✅ High-rep drilling + situational rolling.
✅ Competition preparation options.
