Why Train with Us?
What & How We Train
Jiu-Jitsu and Submission Grappling are both martial arts and sports, emphasizing grappling and submissions. They are among the most effective styles for self-defense while also helping with fitness and weight loss.
At CJJA, we prioritize technique and fluidity over strength, speed, and aggression. Our instructors are dedicated students of Jiu-Jitsu’s vast techniques and concepts. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, we equip students with core grappling skills while helping them develop a style that suits their body and personality.

If you're looking for a place that is family-friendly, has first-class instructors with a TON of patience, and is super clean... this is it. I've tried 5 different places around the area and this one is (by far) the best in all categories.
