BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU
Come learn one of the most effective martial arts for self defense.
What is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) has been classified as one of the most effective martial arts for self defense situations, achieved by giving you the advantage over bigger, stronger opponents. The benefits truly go beyond anything you can see.
BJJ does not rely on strength or size; it's all about leverage and joint manipulation. Real-world fights often end up on the ground, and training in a martial art that focuses exclusively on ground combat is both practical and prudent.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu will also improve your over-all health. From endurance to flexibility, BJJ will keep you in peak physical condition all while having fun.

Why people believe in us
“The second I walked into Grit I was greeted by Sam and almost every student in the building. They showed me around and class started as if I was just one of the regular students (I'm traveling, so this was just a drop in). Fundamentals class was an excellent experience. Solid techniques explained in an engaging, straightforward way by Sam. Grit is a top notch BJJ gym. It is clearly run very professionally and the students are not only welcoming, but humble and there to learn. I am anxious to get back.

“I have been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Grit for about a year now. Sam is a great instructor. He always takes the time to explain solid techniques that will work in the real world. He really makes it fun along with all the other great people that I train with. If you're trying to decide on a place to learn a martial art look no further you have found it.

“I'm in town for a couple weeks and didn't want to miss out on my training and preparation for an upcoming BJJ tournament. Grit took me in and treated me like family. It was refreshing to be able to step into a gym hundreds of miles from home and feel at home. This is an extremely informative, ego free gym. I am extremely grateful to have been able to work with the crew here
