Law enforcement, military, secret services, bodyguard agencies, Bouncers, and cage fighters all practice Jiujitsu because of its proven record of success as a self-defense art. Joint locks, chokes and pins allow students to transcend physical differences to overcome larger more powerful opponents.

Earning a Black Belt in BJJ often takes 12-15 years of active training. We have several Black Belts in our academy. Techniques are broken down into simple steps to make complex moves easy to understand and limit the number of techniques covered each class to ensure full comprehension.
Ranking System
Adult Belt Ranking
Adults receive 4 stripes before becoming eligible for the next belt color. Rank in BJJ is based on merit. To achieve the next belt or stripe you must demonstrate your knowledge and ability to execute the appropriate techniques and skills for your skill level. Progressing from white to black belt in BJJ can often take 10 years or more. Consistency, discipline, and patience are core concepts of self-improvement BJJ training.
Youth Belt Ranking
Youth Students earn 4 stripes at each belt before advancing to the next color. Promotion events happen quarterly to encourage and motivate the younger students. Kids ranks are based on the IBJJF (International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation) guidelines. At age 16, students are eligible for their blue belt and therefore will often transition into the adult program prior to eligibility. Refer to your instructor for additional details on how BJJ can help bring out the best in your youth student.
