Learn moreUnlike the many disciplines that favor more size and strength in a fighter, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu® abides by the idea that you will eventually be smaller than an opponent and you'll need to overcome that somehow. With our training at National Martial Arts, you'll learn how to use leverage and technique to overwhelm a larger opponent into submission.

Learn moreNational Martial Arts is a wonderful place! My son has already benefited from attending class, twice a week, for a few months now. He is building confidence and focus. Christian, Mike, and Julianna are all great and the children love working with them. I highly recommend this establishment!
Excellent combat jiu jitsu program. It’s extremely hard to find self-defense oriented jiu jitsu nationwide due to the sport element of jiu jitsu gaining popularity. This school however teaches authentic Gracie Jiu Jitsu that has been utilized by the Gracie family for generations in street fights as well as professional cage fights. No other school in the area can teach you effectively how to use jiu jitsu to avoid getting punched the way you learn it at this school. Jiu jitsu implemented for Punch protection and street self-defense is highly emphasized at this school.
Originally, we started our martial arts journey for the discipline aspect of it for my son. Shortly after he joined, my daughter joined to build strength and they have both benefitted greatly. We have been here for about a year and a half now and Christian is absolutely wonderful. The instructors are all excellent with their craft and how they teach. They are all great role models and I really couldn’t recommend this place enough.
