Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the perfect self-defense for anyone. It doesn’t matter if you’re a smaller or larger person, a female or male, Jiu-Jitsu works for everyone. Unfortunately, there are kid and adult bullies, so whether it’s a headlock at the playground or a confrontation while you’re enjoying a night out, you’ll be prepared to defend yourself in all situations by controlling or submitting an individual with Jiu-Jitsu.

Our head instructor, Ryan Deichert, trained at the Gracie Academy with the Gracie family. For 23 years Ryan has been training and teaching Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as it was taught to him by Grandmaster Helio Gracie and Rorion Gracie. Every class teaches you how to use BJJ self-defense to protect yourself in real life situations.
