What you get from Adult BJJ
A real workout you'll look forward to
Every class works strength, cardio and flexibility while you learn something new, so the hour goes fast.
Practical self-defense through technique and leverage
Learn positions, escapes and control, drilled with a partner until they feel natural.
A reset after a long day
For one hour, the only problem is the one in front of you. It's a good way to clear your head after work.
The fun of getting better
BJJ is a puzzle you solve one technique at a time, and every class you notice a little more.
Optional competition
Some of our students compete in BJJ, and it's always optional. It's there if you want a goal to train for.
Two weeks of unlimited classes plus a FREE uniform. No obligation to continue.
What a class looks like
Every new student starts the same way.
- Step 1 · 45 min
Beginner Fundamentals
Technique and drilling only, with no live rolling. Coaches teach each move step by step, and you drill it with a partner.
- Step 2
Earn your first stripe
We recommend staying in Fundamentals until you earn your first stripe. Then you are ready to step up.
- Step 3
Add controlled rolling
After your first stripe, you move up to longer classes that add controlled rolling. Our competition class is 1 hour 15 minutes, and competing is always optional.
Beginner Fundamentals is labeled on the schedule. See current class times.
Why adults start BJJ
The same three habits guide every class, at every age.
All built on Focus, Respect and Discipline.

What our students and families say
Read our reviews on Google · Facebook
"I signed my daughter up after a women's self defense seminar. She is enjoying the 'chill' atmosphere and patient instruction of Professor Hendrickson in the BJJ Fundamentals class. It has already increased her confidence and self-awareness."
"As an adult just getting started, this staff has been amazing. The teaching is on point and you have options both day and evenings. I am not training for competition and this is still a great place to work on new skills. Highly recommended !!!!"
"Master White the owner, Mr. Stephen, the instructors, and Natalie couldn’t get any better. … It’s truly a place for learning and friendship for life."

Beginner questions
Still have a question? Call or text 706‑352‑1195.
Do I need experience?
No. Start in Beginner Fundamentals, where coaches teach each technique step by step.
Do I have to spar right away?
No. Beginner Fundamentals is all technique and drilling, with no live rolling. We recommend staying in Fundamentals until you earn your first stripe.
What do I wear?
Your gi is FREE with the trial. For the first class, wear comfortable athletic clothes, and bring water.
Gi or No-Gi? Should I train both?
Gi classes train in the traditional uniform, with collar and sleeve grips. No-Gi trains in a rashguard and shorts, with no gi grips and more focus on body control. Belt promotions happen in the gi, so No-Gi does not earn belts. Many students train both, and your two-week trial lets you try both. See Adult BJJ (FREE uniform) and Adult No-Gi BJJ (FREE rashguard).
Do No-Gi students earn belts?
No. Belt promotions happen in the gi. No-Gi is great training on its own or alongside gi classes, and you can add gi classes any time.
Can I start after 40?
Yes. Go at your own pace, and tell your coach about any injuries so they can adjust drills for you.
Can I try both TaeKwonDo and BJJ?
Yes. Your two-week trial lets you try both TaeKwonDo and BJJ classes. Ask us which classes fit your age.
What happens after two weeks?
There's no obligation to continue. If it's a good fit, we'll go over membership options with you in person.
