WHAT WE'RE ALL ABOUT

A Supportive Community

Many jiu-jitsu schools have a sink or swim mentality, requiring students to fight with each other to progress. We believe in a culture of cooperation, so you can learn without the fear of injury or embarrassment. 

Beginner Friendly

We want to make sure your first time on the mat is not your last! So we're serious about creating a learning environment that is safe, structured, and fun learning!

Real-Life Self-Defense

We don't focus solely on punches and kicks to get you out of a tough situation. Instead, we use time-tested techniques that emphasize leverage and timing.
