What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu? Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling based martial art that evolved from judo. Matches start standing but the majority of fighting occurs on the ground and finishes with a joint lock or a choke. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is ground based with the ultimate goal of a submission.
Yes and no. We focus on training for sport with the thought that if you can beat the best, you should be able to handle yourself if the need arose. However, we do not endorse or suggest using Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or any other martial art against anyone with a weapon. Yes, in every contact sport there is risk involved.

I'm a purple belt training out of 10th Planet Portland and did a few drop-ins while I was in Columbia. There's a great vibe and welcoming atmosphere with dedicated students eager to learn and share. Nader is a passionate coach and competition martial artist, I enjoyed how he taught concepts rather than just moves. If you're in Columbia, this place is great for brand new students and the more experienced as well.

I've never competed in martial arts at any level. Yesterday was my first day. The people were extremely welcoming and helpful. I was able to pair up with another gentleman who was also there for the first time. We received excellent individual feedback. I will definitely be coming back!

If you want to train in Jiu Jitsu or MMA, this is the only place you need. Great coach and atmosphere. Also doesn’t hurt that the owner is an accomplished grappler that travels all over the world to compete. 10/10 would recommend.
