We offer instruction in authentic Gracie Jiu Jitsu, using the teaching method and philosophy of Master Rilion Gracie. Gracie Jiu Jitsu was founded in the 1920's by Rilion's father, Grandmaster Carlos Gracie Sr., and has been proven to be the most effective form of self defense ever developed. Our goal is to give every student, regardless of age, gender, body type or physical ability, the tools needed to defend themselves against bigger, stronger, and more physically capable opponents.

We offer structured classes for both adults and children. Our adult program features beginners and advanced classes in traditional Gracie Jiu Jitsu, as well as a kickboxing class. No matter what your level of fitness or ability we will have a class to fit your needs. Our kids program offers physical and mental benefits to contribute to a healthier and happier lifestyle for your child. Our anti-bullying curriculum was specifically developed with the assistance of mental health professionals and school personnel.

Jiu Jitsu History

Some historians of jiu jitsu say that the origins of “the gentle art” can be traced back to India, and was practiced by Buddhist Monks.

Concerned with self-defense, these monks created techniques based upon principles of balance and leverage, and a system of manipulating the body in a manner where one could avoid relying upon strength or weapons.
