What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, often referred to as BJJ, is a martial arts discipline that focuses on grappling and ground fighting with the goal of gaining a dominant position and using joint locks and choke holds to force an opponent to submit. This highly effective system promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker individual can successfully defend themselves against bigger, stronger assailants when using leverage and proper technique. BJJ can be trained for self-defense, sport grappling, mixed martial arts (MMA), and even for fitness.

What is our mission and what do we expect?

Our mission is to ensure that our students can effectively demonstrate proper technique in either competition or self defense situations with confidence.

At Topeka Jiu-Jitsu, we are dedicated to helping individuals to achieve their goals in self defense, fitness, and competition. For individuals that are interested in competition for either Jiu-Jitsu or Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), we have very strict stipulations that include continuous attendance and improvement; these elements will ensure the student's safety in combat as well as help the instructors to effectively train the individual properly. We also have a very strict honor code that all students must obey in order to be a part of the facility; these include honesty, integrity,sportsmanship, and the desire to learn without having an ego. If you can fulfill all of these obligations, welcome to the team!
