No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu training and Strength & Conditioning workouts in Oceanside

When learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, you should train both Gi & No-Gi to become a complete grappler and do not neglect your Strength & Conditioning.

No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu requires a somewhat different approach when it comes time to applying ground fighting strategy.

You will need to modify the grips and adjust your game plan to accommodate for the fast paced, slippery grappling game.

No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu for men,women and kids in Oceanside

But training Gi or No-Gi...make no mistake about it, they both require hard work to EXCEL.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu requires diligent practice and perseverance 

Friendship and Camaraderie is the hallmark of our Jiu-Jitsu Academy.

Congratulations Ray 'Ray Gun' Sloan on receiving the 'Outstanding Competitor' Award for our Academy.

Ray works two jobs, has a family, and still trains hard and maintains an unbeaten record in Mixed Martial Arts, including two Bellator MMA victories so far.

The back bone to any training is Strength and Conditioning workouts.

No matter how technical your Jiu-Jitsu game is, or how much you want to win...if you cannot push through fatigue during the fight...you increase your chances to lose that fight.

Take some of our Strength and Conditioning classes to help you to prepare for your next battle!

The classes are fun, exciting and fast paced.  You will work strength, flexibility, stamina, endurance, and mental toughness...all with a smile!
