Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
A means to improve your entire life
Our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (sometimes called jiu jitsu, bjj, or Gracie Jiu Jitsu) program for adults is designed for all skill and fitness levels and ages 13-99. It is the most complete ground fighting system on the planet, and it proves the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and technique rather than strength and athleticism.
You’ll learn how to get an opponent to the ground, control them, and finish them with a submission. Master the most popular martial art in the world while getting in the best shape of your life.
- Learn the most practical form of self defense
- Dramatically improve fitness
- Improve mental health & overall happiness
- Build confidence for every aspect of life
While BJJ is incredibly useful for self defense and overall fitness, some people choose to use it as a means to challenge themselves competitively – either in sport grappling tournaments or mixed martial arts (MMA). Unit 2 has a proven track record as one of the best BJJ teams on the East coast having produced champions at all levels of competition from Georgia’s NAGA (North American Grappling Association) Tournament to the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu World Championships to professional MMA fighters in the UFC, WEC, and Strikeforce.
So whether you are looking for an interesting and social way to get fit, would like to test your skills at a tournament one day, or are a seasoned competitor, our highly experienced coaches and team have the knowledge and resources to help you reach those goals. You will be surrounded by a community of supporters and friends who help each other through this journey. Come experience it for yourself!
