Advanced Adult Classes
Once you've built a foundation in fundamentals, our advanced adult BJJ classes go deeper into positional strategy, submission chains, and game-specific approaches.
Advanced Training Includes:
- Deep positional analysis

Advanced classes include dedicated gi and no-gi sessions throughout the week.
No-Gi BJJ Classes
No-gi grappling removes the gi (uniform) and focuses on techniques applicable to wrestling, MMA, and submission grappling. Our no-gi classes help develop well-rounded grapplers who understand submissions, leg locks, and upper-body control without relying on fabric grips.
No-Gi Class Structure:
- Fundamentals no-gi for beginners learning without the gi
- Advanced no-gi technique sessions
- Live rolling and drilling
- Applicable to MMA, wrestling, and submission grappling
No-gi classes attract athletes training for MMA, wrestling, or those who enjoy the faster-paced, wrestling-based game.
Competition Team
Interested in testing your skills at tournaments? Our competition team offers additional preparation for gi and no-gi competitions at all belt levels.
Competition Team Benefits:
- Advanced technique coaching
- Match strategy and game planning
- Tournament schedule and registration support
- Mental preparation and confidence building
- Video analysis of technique
- Team camaraderie and support

Self-Defense Focused Classes
While all our BJJ programs teach effective self-defense principles, we also offer dedicated self-defense instruction emphasizing real-world scenarios and escape techniques.
Self-Defense Emphasis:
- Scenario-based training (defending against larger or multiple attackers)
- Immediate escape priorities
- Awareness and prevention
- Building confidence in stressful situations
We offer general self-defense classes as well as women's self-defense training with women-only class options.
Seasonal Programs and Camps
Throughout the year, we offer special programs including summer camps for kids and adults, seasonal skill-building challenges, and workshops.
