Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling combat sport that has joint locks and choke holds. It means the "Soft Art" and focuses on using the opponent's strengths and athleticism against them. The majority of BJJ techniques are performed on the ground. Many studies show that fighting/self-defense situations end up on the ground.
This video demonstrates how to stand up from the ground using a defensive technique. United Jiu Jitsu recommends practicing in a safe training facility with professionals to help for safety. Coach Riser leads a 10 minute at home workout. This video consists of BJJ related movements and Yoga inspired exercises designed to target our upper body, glutes, core and abs.

Coach Stan is the real deal - a great coach and mentor for my son, a strong teacher and an impressive athlete. We have had only good experiences. (Side note: the studio is across the street from Target, so I can drop my son off, run errands and be back in time to watch what he has learned in class.)

Professor Riser is a first rate teacher. Super engaging with our kiddos. After spending a significant amount of time in other gyms, it's obvious he has the patience to make learning jiu jitsu fun and easy . He is also takes safety seriously. When we couldn't be in person, my kids really looked forward to the online classes. I would recommend United Jiu Jitsu any day.

I've known Stan for at least 10 years now and he has been my BJJ instructor for several years as well. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belts are not common and that is for a good reason.
It takes an amazing amount of work, dedication and accomplishment to get there. Stan has also proven his skills in competition many times and he has the medals to prove it. Stan is also one of Jeremy Anderson's black belts who is also a massively talented BB that is under Dave Camarillo and Klint Klaas.
I've utilized what he teaches on a daily basis which has raised my grappling game immensely along with my fellow

I have been taking my 6 year old son here for the Pups class. Stan is the best! I've seen my boy accomplish so much in so little time. He loves the obstacle courses at the end of class. Stan also makes sure to encourage good behavior at home after each class, which has been a great help. Would recommend 100% to anyone.
