About our Gym

Here, world-class 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 and real-world impract 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, 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, ensuring students at every level get the structure, challenge, and progression they need to thrive.

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 simply seeking practical skills for everyday life.

That’s where Adapt is different.

We’re bringing back the roots of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu by offering dedicated self-defense programs, based on the original Gracie curriculum taught in Brazil in the 1950s. These classes are designed for real-world readiness, not just the mats. There’s no pressure to spar, no expectation to compete—just structured, confidence-building instruction focused on awareness, prevention, and personal safety.

Our mission is simple: to make jiu jitsu truly accessible for everyone. That includes providing free training through The Adapt Foundation to military members, law enforcement, underprivileged youth, and residents of Section 8 housing. Because jiu jitsu isn’t just a sport, it’s a tool for empowerment.

At Adapt, we’ve built something different. A place where champions train, where everyday people find strength, and where community comes first. Whatever your background, experience, or goals—there’s a place for you here.

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 brining 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.
