Our School
We strive to make a positive impact on every student’s day each time we roll on the mats. Everything we do is supported by our structured curriculum. We train with purpose, motivating students in a team-driven atmosphere. Students are encouraged to make small improvements daily, focusing on better technique, mindset, and confidence on and off the mat. Our hands-on approach allows us to identify each student’s strengths and weaknesses and fill in the gaps. We make sure to help you become the best martial artist and person you can be. It’s not just about attendance – it’s about personal growth.
Our History
As the first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt in the area, Andrew Pardee opened our academy in 2017 to bring high-level Jiu-Jitsu back to his hometown and create opportunities for others to grow. What started as a vision has grown into a structured, community-driven academy. Over the years, we’ve been proud to watch students transform – with kids gaining confidence, adults changing their lives, and competitors becoming better prepared. As the founder of the first BJJ academy in the area, Professor Andrew Pardee is proud of the positivity he has brought to the community. As an active competitor, he is focused on building the best athletes around while serving students of all backgrounds and experiences. We’ve been here for everyone and will continue to be here!
