Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger assailant using leverage and proper technique; most notably, by applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat them. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling, but especially ground fighting.

It was derived from the Japanese martial art of Kodokan Judo in the early 20th century, which was itself, then a recently-developed system (founded in 1882), based on multiple schools (or Ryu) of Japanese jujutsu. BJJ can be trained for self defense, sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition.

Dropped in for a class tonight while I was in town for work. Coach Kurtis welcomed me in from the moment I met him. No attitudes from anyone because I was an unknown. Everyone was super cool and made me feel at home. Thank you Cobra BJJ for being awesome!

This is a great group. Instructors are great and take great pride and have patience and a love for their students. We have truly enjoyed watching our daughter learn and grow over the last 9 months.

Great coach and great people all around. It doesn't matter whether you want to just try out BJJ for the first time, have it become your hobby, or become a serious competitor. You'll succeed in this gym.

I have trained at eight BJJ and/or MMA gyms over the last 10 years as I've moved around the country, and Cobra is the best one I have come across during that time. You can tell that Kurt (owner/lead instructor) loves practicing and teaching BJJ.
