GI & NO GI JIU-JITSU

ADULT GI JIU-JITSU PROGRAM

Our adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program will help you go from complete beginner to highly skilled submission expert. No matter your experience level, fitness level, or age, we have a program for you.

ADULT NOGI JIU-JITSU PROGRAM

Similar to our Gi program, our NoGi Jiu-Jitsu class is designed to teach you submission grappling without the use of the traditional uniform.

White to Blue: Jiu-Jitsu Fundamentals Program

Our White to Blue Belt Program is designed to be a structured, supportive environment to guide new students through the essential techniques, concepts, and mindset of Jiu-Jitsu. Whether you’re brand new to the mat or looking to build a solid foundation, this program will help students become proficient in core positions, transitions, escapes, and have confidence needed to progress toward a blue belt.

Each class builds on the last and no experience is necessary—just the willingness to learn, grow, and show up.

Rafael “Centenario” E

"My family joined, but my three sons mainly go ages 14, 13, and 7 years old. I find the academy to be a great place for people of all ages. The coaches are patient, understanding and will knowledgeable of the Brazilian jiu-jitsu art, and a very youth friendly environment.

"It's a Great Academy"

Peter Settles

"This place is truly amazing. I’ve never done any martial arts or wrestling or fighting. I took my family for an intro class and it was exactly what we’ve been looking for. Something for me, my wife, and my daughter. Very inviting! Going into a gym for the first time is always intimidating. Between the other students, the coaches, and the atmosphere that intimidation goes to zero almost immediately. This is the kind of place that makes advanced students better but also gives white belts a seriously well balanced base in fundamentals. You will not regret checking this gym out."

Steven Collins

"Paul and Leslie Nava and all his coaches have created an amazing atmosphere of learning. I love being part of this family and community! BJJ will change your life, and if you ever want to take that step ... Ares BJJ is the place to start the journey!
