OUR GRAPPLING DISCIPLINES:

• Adult BJJ (Gi): The traditional foundation of Jiu-Jitsu. Training with the uniform teaches you how to use collar and sleeve grips to maximize leverage, control opponents, and execute tight submissions.

• No-Gi BJJ: Fast-paced, modern submission grappling. Training in a rash guard and shorts strips away the fabric grips, forcing you to rely on tight body mechanics, wrestling transitions, and explosive positional control.

REQUIRED GEAR:

• For Gi Classes: A clean BJJ Gi and belt.

• For No-Gi Classes: A fitted rash guard and athletic shorts (no pockets or zippers).

Our gym culture is built on mutual respect, community, and safety. Grab your gear, check the schedule, and we will see you on the mats!
