Here's a look at the classes being offered now at Big Break Jiu Jitsu.
Our goal here at Big break Jiu-jitsu is to ensure the overall health and safety of everyone who enters our door. All students will have their temperature recorded before entering the mat space and engaging in any training activities. A temperature of 100 or more will be asked to leave and required to get testing before returning to training.

A place of growth and community. I have really enjoyed the 2+ years in this community. The ride has been absolutely beneficial for my quality of life. Losing around 65 lbs has obviously been great for me, but the community behind this has been great for my overall quality of life. My confidence and love for jiu jitsu started here. David and Samantha have the strongest passion for jiu jitsu with a resume to prove it. Considering I haven't felt this good I am going to use this as a way to say thank you. If you have an interest in jiu jitsu I wouldn't hesitate to contact them.

I've trained at a lot of places and I've been doing Jiu Jitsu since 2006. Big Break Jiu Jitsu is awesome. They have a giant mat space. The instruction is very high level. David, the head instructor, has a crazy guard game. He's also a dad so you can really see that in his kids classes. Man I wish I could go back in time and learn Jiu Jitsu. These kids are learning something that could literally save their lives and, by the looks of it, they're having a lot of fun doing it.
