Training

Gracie Jiu-Jitsu

Jiu-jitsu is a martial art rooted in effective self-defense by using proper body mechanics and angles to defeat an assailant. While it focuses on ground fighting, effective jiu-jitsu study also entails stand-up training. Through the study of Jiu-Jitsu, your body will mechanically improve. This allows all areas of your life to develop as you learn new kinds of humility and confidence.

Keysi Fighting Method (KFM)

Keysi is a highly effective form of self-defense and fighting. Known for its techniques that employ a method of covering and responding aggressively, Keysi is truly a unique system. You will learn how to deal with various attacks employing the concepts of Keysi, which has been made famous by movies like the Dark Knight trilogy and Jack Reacher.

Conditioning

There's no doubt that Jiu-Jitsu and KFM will help you get in better shape. As you are conditioned through your study of these systems, your body will change. Our conditioning classes focus on the areas of the body that are used primarily in these systems. But these classes are for everyone. We focus on EMOM (Every Minute on the Minute) routines two days out of the week. We use kettlebells, body-weight movements and stretching to improve our strength, cardiovascular and pulmonary systems.

What Makes Us Different

Our Approach

A lot of martial arts schools are centered on gearing up for competition. While we respect people who wish to test their skills in such a setting, our focus is the efficacy of the martial artist in a real life encounter. No refs, no rules, no points, no time limits, no medals.

Seminars

We are able to train with other schools from both the Pedro Sauer Association and other Keysi schools. Unlike many associations, Pedro Sauer and Kesyi schools have camps and "Affiliate Days" multiple times a year. These improve our self-defense skills and are also a time of great camaraderie.

Online Jiu-Jitsu Resources

The Pedro Sauer Association is unique as you have online resources so you can: 1. Preview upcoming classes 2. Study techniques outside of class 3. Develop your own online library comprised of Association techniques and ideas.

Our Commitment to the Community

Invictus LEO Jiu-Jitsu Collective

We are happy to be vetted and verified by this collective. Their mission is to help Police Officers and Departments adopt Jiu-Jitsu into their training and in turn, get more officers practicing Jiu-Jitsu. Find out more here: https://www.invictusleo.com.

Adopt A Cop BJJ

We are also excited to be an affiliate school for the Adopt a Cop BJJ program. Like us, this non-profit organization believes jiu-jitsu provides our men and women in blue a real look at combative situations. Find out more about this non-profit at https://adoptacopbjj.org.
