It is because Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu uses leverage and the opponent's movements against them. It was designed for a smaller weaker person to defend themselves against a bigger stronger opponent. In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu the goal is to gain dominant position over your opponent to; submit them while inflicting the least amount of damage possible.
Our Professors are trained in anatomy, physiology and nutrition. CPR certificate, scanned live, has up to 3 degrees of black belt in various martial arts. They understand that no two bodies are the same and work with you to get in shape at the right pace. Odilon "OJ" Domingues started his training in Brazil with an estimated black belt from Gracie-Barra, Professor Rey Perez (ACRE BRASIL) at age 12.
We offer classes for every level, and everyone receives that important individual attention they need. All classes start on-time so please show up 10-15 minutes early. By combining techniques of coordination, discipline, socialization, self-defense our Kids naturally build confidence. This is part of the learning process.

The people are what you should value here, the instructor isn't even the best in town. Had multiple years of helping train children, adults, and wound up having a major injury during class. Blew my ACL completely. Not once did the instructor reach out to me during my rehabilitation process. Not once did he offer encouragement or care towards a student who had dedicated over 30+ hours a week freely to help them out with kids classes for almost 2 years. Instead, when I returned after over a year and a half out due to surgery and rehab, I was greeted with a liability waiver and a drop in fee . There

An amazing place to get in shape and learn martial arts! Professors (teachers) are all very kind and knowledgeable, and all the students I met here are as well. I had a great time during every class and learned a lot about BJJ and how to defend myself. I highly recommend for anyone looking to start Jiu Jitsu or for anyone switching schools!

I have personally know the owner for over 10 years and he is an excellent sensei who is truly in love with the art. He understands the original traditions from experience in Brazil and teaches that with clear communication here in the US.

I'm visiting Pacifica from North Carolina and I was looking for a place to train. I went to Thrive for the first time yesterday. It was excellent! I love their positive attitude of teaching you the techniques. Awesome and enthusiastic people with great instructors.
Highly recommended!!

My children have been training at Thrive Jiu Jitsu for years. We joined a school but also a community. We have lots of memories from competitions, ceremony awards, Halloween festivities, Christmas and Birthdays. We missed the staff and all the friends we made. Professor OJ has a heart of Gold, always making sure he takes care of his students and families. This is not just a school but a community. I would recommend the school to anyone. We can't wait to come back and train in person. Thank you for all that you do not only for our kids but for our community.

I have been going to Thrive Jiu-Jitsu since I was 11 and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Everyone is so nice and the environment is very supporting. I learned how to protect myself both physically and mentally and I have gained confidence in myself to achieve things that I never thought I could achieve. I became more aware of myself and I found this to be a very relaxing sport with good rewards. Thrive became a second home to me where I can enjoy the company of others without feeling judged. They are a family to me and when I was going through tough times, they were there for me. Professor
