New to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?
A common misconception about practicing Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is that you have to be a fighter, competitor, or athlete. This could not be further from the truth. While some of our students are active in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and Submission Grappling competition, many of our students practice for nothing more than the enjoyment of learning Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Our students are comprised of a diverse group of men and women of all ages. Some are medical and business professionals, while others are college students or stay-at-home parents.
Competitors
We have trained some of the best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), Submission Grappling and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighters in the Central Pennsylvania area.
Our competitors consistently medal at some of the world's biggest events.
