Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy

Where the Take Down is Just the Beginning!

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on ground fighting and submission holds. It originated in Brazil in the early 20th century and has gained popularity worldwide for its effectiveness in real-life self-defense situations and in mixed martial arts (MMA) competitions. BJJ is primarily based on the principles of leverage and technique, allowing a smaller and weaker person to defend themselves against a larger and stronger opponent. It emphasizes grappling and ground fighting techniques, such as joint locks, chokes, and various holds, to control and submit an opponent. One of the distinguishing features of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is its emphasis on positional dominance and the ability to submit an opponent without relying on strikes or kicks.

Practitioners aim to take their opponents to the ground and then use techniques like sweeps, escapes, and submissions to gain advantageous positions or force the opponent to submit. Training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu involves practicing techniques with partners in both drilling and live sparring sessions. This hands-on approach allows practitioners to develop their skills, timing, and reflexes in a realistic setting. BJJ practitioners often wear a gi (a traditional uniform consisting of a jacket and pants) during training and competitions, but there are also no-gi variations of the sport where practitioners wear shorts and a rash guard.

This place is amazing for any level of BJJ. Love learning from the instructors in any way I can
Top notch. There is simply no better academy, far or near. My daughter is six years old, and we travel nearly two hours to this gym every other week just to get some extra work. The value is just that high. Coach Chuck is second to none when it comes to keeping kids engaged, learning, and having fun while training jiu jitsu.

Master chuck is the best!! Patience is truly his virtue. He takes his time with the kids and actually teaches them how to do things. He’s strict but also funny when it’s called for. Highly recommend.

Definitely recommend this jiu jitsu gym. Justin creates a really relaxing, low-pressure environment that meets you wherever you're at in terms of fitness/martial arts experience. He has.a good balance of guiding students while also giving them space to learn. Based on what I've seen and experienced, Justin connects with his students and is very easy to talk to.For those more experienced with... Jiu Jitsu: Because of Justin's background learning from high quality instructors in high quality gyms, you can be confident that you are learning Jiu Jitsu that actually works in a competition scenario. He is very clear with his instruction, teaches the most up-to-date/modern approaches, and always makes sure to include discussion of the broader concepts/principles behind a technique. If you get the chance to learn from Justin, you're learning from someone that cares a lot about Jiu Jitsu and helping others learn it.read more
