About Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Training in BJJ provides many benefits, such as self-defense skills, improved cardiovascular health, flexibility, weight loss, and greater muscular and mental endurance. In addition, BJJ promotes many intangibles, such as increased self-confidence, stress reduction, and improvements in mental acuity and proprioception that comes with learning and testing a complex new skill.

Our Approach

Beginners are our specialty!

One of the most rewarding parts of teaching Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is witnessing the transformation that occurs within our students as their skills and confidence grow. We focus heavily on fundamentals, conditioning and movement.

Our first step is to prepare your body for a BJJ practice. Classes begin with a thoughtful, instructor-led workout that improves strength, muscular endurance, flexibility and the capacity of your cardiovascular system. Furthermore, we make a point to use functional body-weight exercises that incorporate/mimic the movements of BJJ. We teach your body how to move efficiently so as to execute techniques properly. Once you know how to move like an animal, we will teach you how to fight like one.

Focus on Self-Defense

At Dream Jiu-jitsu/Subforce BJJ, we believe BJJ is a martial art and system of combat first, and a sport or athletic endeavor second. Although we LOVE sport Jiu-Jitsu and actively compete in BJJ tournaments, our primary concern is that our students can keep themselves safe in real-life situations.

Sparring

Sparring/Randori/Rolling is a fundamental part of BJJ. To gain proficiency, you must execute techniques against an actively resisting training partner. This is how you learn what it really takes to apply the techniques you learn. This is how you get GOOD! BJJ sparring is strictly grappling, so no punches or kicks are utilized or allowed. Students spar when they feel ready in an atmosphere of safety, respect and learning.

Community

We believe that building a positive and supportive community is key to helping students achieve their goals and progress in their BJJ journey.

Our instructors are committed to helping students of all levels succeed and are available to provide individualized attention and support, including private lessons. In addition, forming bonds with classmates and training partners can be an incredibly rewarding and motivating experience. We encourage our students to work together, cheer each other on, and offer encouragement and support to one another.

Ultimately, our goal is to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for adult students of all levels and backgrounds. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, we are here to help you reach your goals and become the best version of yourself through the practice of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
