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.

  • I joined Bazzani about four years ago years of occasionally visiting to 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.
