Our successful program known as the JITS KIDS - these classes offer hands-on instruction in the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with age appropriate training that can help students all across our community find success.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art focusing largely on grappling and ground fighting. It utilizes natural body leverage and proper technique to obtain dominant control on the ground and, as a result, provides greater position for striking or submission holds.

BJJ has been proven, when used properly, to be an effective method for dealing with bigger and stronger opponents and has become increasingly popular due in part to its great success in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.It can be trained for self defense, sport grappling (Gi and No-Gi) and mixed martial arts competition and has found its way into the training regimen of nearly every successful martial artist worldwide.
At Laviano Jiu Jitsu, we rely on jiu jitsu for a primary way to learn self defense. We believe these movements and techniques learned from the fundamentals of jiu jitsu can relate to real world applications and self defense situations. In the street, a fair fight is unforgiving and jiu jitsu gives an unfair advantage to those who know proper technique.

Laviano Jiu Jitsu provides excellent instruction for those that want to learn jiu jitsu. The curriculum emphasizes the fundamentals of Brazilian jiu jitsu, which is self defense. In addition, the sportier techniques are taught for folks interested in competition. The instructors teach both go and no gi. Friendly, positive environment.

I originally started at Hamby BJJ to learn what I saw as the most practical form of martial art. I wasn't disappointed. Hamby BJJ is led by two coaches that have a passion for the art and a passion for teaching, and I'm proud to say I train here.

In town for couple of weeks and having a passion for BJJ a colleague of mine invited me to train at Hamby Jiu Jitsu. From the second I walked in the door, everyone treated me like a part of the team. Great Professors, Coaches, and people. Friendly environment with great instruction. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone looking to learn Self Defense, stay physically fit, and make good friends.
