Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is for anyone who wants to learn how to defend him or herself in combat. What most people don’t know, is that BJJ will also allow you to apply those same principles to fighting the daily battles of life, like weight loss, stress, relationship issues, and self-confidence. You will learn how to think through problems more constructively than before, on and off the mats.

At Matt Larsen's Combat Fitness Center, you are a part of a family. You will join a team that will support you in your quest for self-improvement. Training the techniques and participating in live training sessions, with your partners and coaches, will give you an arsenal of weapons at your disposal whenever you should need them. The more you train, the more you will arm yourself with knowledge and skills to fight all your battles in life like a black belt.

Our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program is comprised of five (5) main elements:

1.Curriculums: Set of coordinated techniques organized in the best possible way to facilitate students’ learning processes. Our curriculum is stretched over 32 weeks;

2.Class: The defined period of time during which the student learns the techniques that comprise the curriculum using several different training methods or appropriate instructional techniques;

3.Training Methods: Specific drills and training practices designed to convert the knowledge represented in the curricula and taught by the instructor into knowledge and skills, insuring that the student is able to apply their knowledge and techniques under real circumstances (or under authentic conditions);

4.Minimum Attendance: minimum attendance required from the student so him or her can progress and be updated with the BJJ curriculum;

5.Belt System: Hierarchical rank structure designed to represent students’ progress, according to their own potential. The International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) ranking system is used for our BJJ program.
