Welcoming adults, kids, teens, women, and law enforcement.

Build confidence, fitness, and real‑world self‑defense with expert coaches in a positive, team‑first environment.

OUR MISSION

Families discover more than just a place to train—they find a community rooted in professionalism and purpose. Our thoughtfully designed curriculum supports students at every level, helping them develop skills and confidence through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Whether you're a parent sharing the mat with your child or an individual focused on personal development or self-defense, you'll find an environment where learning feels both structured and empowering.

OUR VALUES

Empowerment Through Self-Defense: Our programs are designed to equip women and men, especially in law enforcement, with the confidence and physical skills necessary to stay safe in real-world situations.

Commitment to Excellence: We take pride in offering top-quality instruction in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, with a focus on personal growth, discipline, and teamwork.

Inclusive and Supportive Community: We foster an environment where everyone, regardless of experience level, background, or gender, feels welcome and supported. We are proud to serve as a safe space for all, especially women and law enforcement officers.

Culture of Respect: We believe Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu begins and ends with respect, for training partners, instructors, and ourselves. On and off the mat, we foster a culture where everyone is treated with dignity, regardless of rank, background, or experience. This mutual respect strengthens our community and deepens our connection to the art.

“We focus on being supportive teammates on and off the mat. We provide a professional, fun, and healthy environment so that after each class you leave feeling empowered and confident. We can’t wait to see you on the mat. ”

— V. Bazzani

From Our Students…

  • I joined Bazzani about four years ago years after occasionally visiting so that I could be around other female grapplers. I decided to make it my home gym because it has such a healthy environment, lots of women who feel comfortable, and every coach is approachable, fun, and good at jiu jitsu.

    - Audra

  • “Bazzani BJJ is almost like no other school I’ve trained at. With the gym open 7 days a week with morning and evening classes, there’s almost no excuse not to train. It’s perfectly coordinated into one hour classes with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. You feel like you’re family just by signing up.”


    - Chris M.

  • As a parent, I can’t say enough about the transformation I’ve seen in my son since he joined the teens class at Bazzani BJJ. He’s always been introverted and it took a lot of encouragement to even get him to try a class. To my surprise, within just a few weeks, he was hooked. Now he wants to attend every single class he can.
