Couples Welcome

Brazilian jiu-jitsu is a close contact sport. Naturally, some people don’t feel comfortable rolling around on a mat with a stranger. That’s why our couples lessons are very popular. Feel confident and safe because you are training with your partner, someone you are close with. We always receive positive feedback about training together benefiting the relationship.
