Class Schedule

“There is no more valuable skill than studentship. The farther we go down one area of human understanding, the more we see the corollaries that all activities share. Everything I do for the rest of my life, all the skills I acquire, will be made possible because of my time spent on the mats. It has revealed a symbiosis between all things that I never knew existed.” - Chris Matakas

This is Professional Jiu Jitsu taught by Professional instructors. Our students are taught our world-class methodology by the most highly decorated instructors in MoCo.  The end result is we create better technique and afford our students a better understanding of the art.

EVERY kids & adult class is taught by one or more of our world class Black Belts. Very few academies in the country offer this level of technical expertise and professional environment.
