Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Classes at Jiu-Jitsu USA® — Competition & Self-Defense Focused

Our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) program is open to all ages 6 and up, welcoming beginners, hobbyists, and serious competitors into a safe, respectful, and high-performance training environment. Students learn the importance of proper technique, exceptional positional control, strategic thinking, and pressure-tested execution through structured instruction and live training.

Training is conducted in the traditional Gi (uniform) and focuses on the application of BJJ techniques such as throws, takedowns, sweeps, guard passing, escapes, chokes, and joint locks. Gi training forces students to master timing, balance, grips, and leverage without sacrificing position—developing the precision and control required for real-world self-defense and high-level competition success.

The Life-Changing Benefits of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

The benefits of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu reach far beyond the mats and into every aspect of your life. At Jiu-Jitsu USA®, our students become leaders, problem-solvers, and warriors—on and off the mat. Our program nurtures independent thinking, mental toughness, discipline, and a relentless competitive spirit, while supporting each student in achieving their personal and athletic BJJ goals.

Through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, you will begin to understand yourself.
You will test your limits under real resistance, sharpen your mindset under pressure, and learn how to stay calm and calculated in adversity. Whether your goal is self-defense, fitness, or earning medals on the competition mat, the more you train, the sharper your skills become—and the more completely you unlock your true potential.

Who Should Train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is for anyone who wants to learn how to defend themselves, compete at a high level, or build elite-level confidence and conditioning. The same principles used to win matches—strategy, composure, timing, resilience, and adaptability—apply directly to life’s toughest challenges:

  • Weight loss & elite fitness
  • Stress management under pressure
  • Confidence & self-belief
  • Discipline & consistency
  • Problem-solving in real time

On the mat, you learn to overcome stronger opponents using technique. In life, you learn how to overcome obstacles with the same mindset.

The Jiu-Jitsu USA® Competition Team & Family

At Jiu-Jitsu USA®, you are part of an extended family and a competitive team. Whether you plan to test yourself in tournaments or train for personal growth, you will be surrounded by teammates who push you to higher levels.

Our competition-focused students receive:

  • Advanced positional & submission systems
  • Takedown-to-submission transitions
  • Match strategy & rule-set awareness
  • Conditioning for endurance and explosiveness
  • Mental preparation for high-pressure competition

Through drilling, situational training, and live rounds, you will develop the timing, confidence, and killer instinct needed to perform when it matters most. The more you train, the more prepared you become to fight all of life’s battles like a black belt—on and off the podium.

Bullyproof Programs for Kids

Bully prevention begins with confidence and self-respect. Bullies look for easy targets, and confidence removes that target. Your child will learn to look a bully in the eyes, stand their ground with verbal assertiveness, and de-escalate situations safely.
Nine out of ten times, bullies back down when faced with confidence.

If words fail, your child will also have the skills to defend themselves, escape safely, and seek authority assistance. Our bullyproof program builds:

  • Physical confidence
  • Emotional control under stress
  • Verbal boundary-setting
  • Defensive techniques only when absolutely necessary

Your child will be prepared mentally, physically, and emotionally for real-life situations—on the playground and beyond.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is more than a martial art—it’s a competitive pathway, a self-defense system, and a way of life.
Train your body. Sharpen your mind. Test yourself in competition. Build unshakable confidence.
Join the Jiu-Jitsu USA® family and rise to the next level.
