About our Gym

Here, instruction meets real-world purpose. We’ve built a team of elite coaches with deep roots in MMA, wrestling, and global grappling.. But we’ve also rebuilt what it means to train jiu jitsu, making space for every background, every goal, and every level of experience.

The story behind our Gym

Adapt Jiu Jitsu was founded on the belief that world-class training and real-world impact can, and should, go hand in hand.
‍
Our instructors bring elite experience to the mats, with backgrounds in MMA, collegiate wrestling, and competition at the highest levels of grappling. Whether you're looking to sharpen your takedowns, dominate in No Gi BJJ, or refine your Gi game under IBJJF standards, our team has walked the walk and now they're here to guide you.

Our curriculum blends modern sport jiu jitsu with technical precision, giving students at every level the structure, challenge, and progression they need to thrive. Inspired by the knight on a chessboard, we Move With a Purpose, intentional in how we train, how we compete, and how we show up.

But we also saw something missing in the jiu jitsu world. As the sport side of BJJ has exploded, many gyms have unintentionally left people behind, those who aren’t looking to compete, those who feel intimidated to start, or those who simply cannot afford it.

That's where Adapt is different.

Elite Coaching

Personalized Onboarding & Instruction

We get that walking into a jiu jitsu gym for the first time can feel intimidating. That’s why we’ve removed the pressure entirely.

Every new student begins with three private, one-on-one sessions with our head professor before joining group classes. These sessions help students learn:

Foundational movement and warm-ups

Core jiu jitsu principles like leverage and control

How our curriculum works and what to expect in class

This approach helps new students feel prepared, confident, and supported before stepping onto the mat with others.

Whether you’re brand new or returning with experience, our certified black belt instructors provide individualized guidance so you can progress safely and effectively.

Inclusivity & Respect

A Safe and supportive jiu-jitsu community

Community is at the heart of Adapt.

We are a family friendly gym where kids, teens, women, and adults feel welcomed and supported. Safety, respect, and long term growth guide everything we do.

Through the Adapt Foundation, we offer free jiu jitsu training to families in need, active duty military, veterans, and individuals in recovery. Because confidence, self-defense, and personal growth should never be a priviledge. If you have questions about eligibility, we'd love to hear from you.

Serving the Community

Adapt Jiu-jitsu's nonprofit program

We know and have experienced first hand how jiu jitsu changes lives, and we believe access to it shouldn't come with a price tag. The Adapt Foundation is our nonprofit initiative dedicated to bringing free, high-quality training to those who need it most: under privileged youth, military, veterans, law enforcement, and Section 8 residents.

We are here to break barriers, build confidence, and give back through the power of jiu jitsu.

THE core values we believe in

Growth

Every roll, every class, every challenge is a chance to evolve. We believe jiu jitsu is a lifelong journey, and at Adapt, you'll never take the journey alone.

Community

Adapt was built to serve. We're more than a gym, we're a support system. From the mats to the city we train in, we show up for each other, because growth means nothing without connection.

Commitment

We show up. We put in the work. And we don't quit on ourselves or our team. Whether you're just starting or chasing your black belt, we're committed to helping you reach your next level.

Access

Access means removing barriers and creating pathways for people to train, grow, and belong, regardless of background, income, age, or experience. We design our programs, pricing, and culture with intention so jiu-jitsu is available to all who are willing to step on the mat.
