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 for those with respect, discipline & humility 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.

"Competition is not set defense but self defense is a competition."
Coach Bazzani

Every student, from beginner to advanced, trains with the understanding that progress is built through teamwork, patience, and care for your partners.

  • 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.
