Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu — Gi Training

This academy specializes in real-world personal protection, thanks to Professor Gomez’s extensive background teaching:

• Law enforcement
• Sheriff’s departments
• SWAT personnel

  Students learn situational awareness, how to prevent threats before they escalate, and how to defend effectively under pressure. The goal is simple: protect yourself and get home safe.

No-Gi Program

Designed for fast-paced grappling and competitive advancement, No-Gi classes develop agility and adaptability. Students are introduced to modern tactics, including:
