Confidence, Discipline, Integrity - that is our focus. We want our students to have confidence in their individual value -- to know they are worth sticking up for! This is not our only mission. Confidence goes well beyond self defense and into work ethic and self control. We have seen time and time again, if a student's confidence and discipline goes up so does their ability to focus and follow direction.
Jiu-Jitsu was developed as a system of self defense on the battlefields of ancient Japan. In 1914 Jiu-Jitsu Master Esai Maeda immigrated to Brazil and taught his art to Carlos and Helio Gracie. Helio Gracie refined the art to match his small size and the two set out to prove the effectiveness of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in early MMA fights in Brazil.

Best decision I have made in awhile. Coaches are extremely helpful and engaging, you can tell they care about you and your progress. They are always willing to take questions or help on any issue your having. I came to learn self-defense but i kept coming back for the friends, workout, and the composure in daily life that I'm acquiring.
