“Jiu jitsu and martial arts do not build character, they reveal it. We are all born with unmeasurable courage and determination, but it is as we go through the trials of rigorous training that we rediscover those gifts.” – Ricardo Almeida

Why Jiu Jitsu?

Jiu-jitsu highlights philosophy, self-discovery, and the art of leverage and technique over brute strength. It emphasizes the importance of perseverance, adaptability, and the application of jiu-jitsu principles to life outside the mats.

What our students and parents say about us…

  • This is one of the best decisions our family has made. Rod is so encouraging and shares the same values as we do and delivers them in class. My children love Tuesdays and Wednesdays with Grizzly Jiu Jitsu and now my husband too. If you have been sitting on the fence, well I encourage you to bring your family.

  • Rod is an incredible and attentive teacher, and the environment during classes is always fun and energetic without losing sight of the seriousness of the sport. I do drop-ins for the women’s classes because of my work schedule so the slight flexibility from that is nice. The group I roll with is amazing and the lessons are awesome, I’ve learned so much and look forward to more and advancing in the course!

  • Rod is very encouraging towards each student. My younger daughter attended for a while and the difference in her all around was improved while she was taking lessons with Rod
