One of the distinguishing highlights of Brazil-021 Jiu-Jitsu is a clearly defined philosophy that drives the instruction and learning environment. Many schools solely focus on technique, but Brazil-021 believes that character development is a key component of one’s journey into martial arts. We do not believe in the “transactional” model of martial arts schools where technical knowledge is simply traded for tuition. We believe that every student’s journey needs to be a commitment towards not just improving Jiu-Jitsu, but to improving and bettering his or her quality of life and of those around as well. We believe in providing attentive, personalized instruction to ensure anybody of any skill level can have Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as a positive force in their lives.

Safety, and Self-Defense

We believe that safety is paramount to all else no matter what your goals are in your journey in Jiu-Jitsu, and that Jiu-Jitsu is taught to be used for self-defense and for self-defense only. All students are expected to contribute to creating a safe, fun, and healthy environment to train in and should never use Jiu-Jitsu to do harm.

Family Friendly, and Family First

We believe that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is for everybody, and should be accessible to anybody who is interested. We believe in creating a family-friendly environment that is appropriate for students of all ages. We also believe that family should always come first, and emphasize family values between team members in order to develop trust and genuine camaraderie.
