ADULT PROGRAM (18+)

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling-based martial art whose central theme is the skill of controlling a resisting opponent in ways that force them to submit. Controlling an opponent is  easier on the ground than in a standing position therefore much of the technique of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is centered round the skill of taking an opponent down to the ground and grappling for dominant control positions from where the opponent can be rendered harmless. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the only martial art that teaches you to fight if you are on your back.

When you challenge yourself you gain more confidence in everything you do in life.

Our goal is to create a home with respect, discipline & humility for those who need support and a place to train with amazing instructors and fellow teammates. No kool aid, just jiu-jitsu. 

If it’s your first time on the mats you will find Bazzani Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to be more than just a great place to train you will see a family dedicated to helping you grow in your new sport. 
Many of our students compete in tournaments. Everyone benefits from having a school that supports competition training.

FAQ's |

  • We believe the mats should be a place where everyone feels safe and supported. Our instructors set clear expectations about respect and humility. Every student, from beginner to advanced, trains with the understanding that progress is built through teamwork, patience, and care for your partners.

  • No. You’ll get in shape by training. Our classes are designed for all fitness levels, and instruction is tailored to your experience and ability. You’ll build a solid foundation in movement, positions, and techniques. We’ll help you progress step by step.

  • Classes are co-ed, and students are partnered based on size, skill level, and goals. If you’re a woman who prefers to train with other women, we will make sure you are paired accordingly.

  • Not immediately. Beginners often begin with technique and positional drills. Sparring (rolling) is introduced gradually once you're ready. You’ll never feel pressured to do more than what you’re comfortable with.

    • A clean gi and belt (if you have one)

    • Athletic wear (for initial classes)

    • Water bottle

    • Sandals or flip-flops for off-mat movement

    • An open mind and willingness to learn

  • Yes. Whether your goals are fitness, self-defense, community, or competition — Bazzani BJJ supports all paths equally.
