A Martial Arts Academy
Blending the Jiu Jitsu experience.
What does this mean? With no club or team affiliations, we open our doors to practitioners from any school and of any art with no judgments or biases.
Our goal is to offer an environment where we can simply share knowledge and positively influence students' lives.
Jiu Jitsu is a fighting system that has evolved from Japan, through Brazil and now to the United States. Incorporating the gi or kimono, Jiu Jitsu involves taking down the opponent, controlling them, and potentially submitting them through the application of joint locks and chokes.
Wrestling is practiced without the gi or kimono and its objective is to take the opponent to the ground and then immobilize or otherwise subdue them through a range of submission holds. The sporting and competitive rules implemented throughout its history have led to an emphasis on takedowns and pins.
Modern Judo is a distillation of its predecessor Jiu Jitsu. Its technical focus has emphasized throws and takedowns over control and submissions due to the competitive and sporting rules implemented throughout its history.
Submission Grappling is practiced without the gi or kimono and brings together techniques from Folk Wrestling (Catch-as-catch-can), Judo, Wrestling, Jiu-Jitsu, and Sambo.
All classes are open to adults of any experience level. We encourage our students to attend a variety of classes so that they can fully benefit from our diverse teaching staff.
Although women and men train together in all of our classes, we also recognize the specific benefits of women focused training. Studio 540 offers a women’s program for just this purpose.
For the smallest of our students, we like to place them in the very safest of environments so that they can gain the confidence to later join the Big Groms Program.
Continuing our insistence on safety, this program develops the motor skills required to effectively learn the basics of Jiu Jitsu and Judo.
