Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Mixed Martial Arts
Soryu Karate
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a dynamic and empowering martial art focused on technique, leverage, and strategy rather than brute strength. It teaches you how to control, submit, and defend against opponents of all sizes, making it an ideal discipline for anyone seeking real-world self-defense skills, improved fitness, and mental toughness. BJJ is often described as "human chess" — a constantly evolving game of moves and countermoves that sharpens your mind as much as your body. Whether you're looking to compete, get in shape, or simply challenge yourself in a supportive environment, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu offers a powerful journey of growth, resilience, and confidence that anyone can begin, regardless of age or athletic background. Every class brings the excitement of learning, the camaraderie of teammates, and the personal satisfaction of becoming stronger than you were yesterday.
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is the ultimate test of grit, skill, and heart — a no-nonsense blend of striking, wrestling, and ground fighting where only the well-rounded survive. It’s not just about learning how to fight; it’s about forging yourself into something stronger, sharper, and tougher than you ever thought possible. MMA training pushes you past your limits, demanding discipline, courage, and relentless drive. You’ll punch, kick, wrestle, and grind your way to a version of yourself that doesn’t back down from anything — inside or outside the gym. Whether you’re chasing a championship dream or just looking to train like a savage, MMA gives you the mindset and tools to stand tall, fight smart, and dominate whatever life throws at you.
Soryu Karate is a powerful, no-frills martial art built on precision, speed, and controlled aggression. Combining the traditional techniques of Okinawan Karate with the fluid adaptability of modern fighting styles, Soryu sharpens your body into a weapon and your mind into an unstoppable force. It’s more than just punches and kicks — it’s about mastering timing, distance, and raw explosive power. Every class challenges you to move faster, hit harder, and think sharper, forging the kind of discipline and toughness that carry over far beyond the mat. Whether you're looking to defend yourself, compete, or simply push your limits, Soryu Karate gives you the tools to stand your ground, strike with purpose, and carry yourself with unstoppable confidence.

Testimonials
Our members love the supportive atmosphere and professional guidance at Family Jiu Jitsu Karate. Here's what they have to say about their experience:
Josh Spivey
Joining Family Jiu-Jitsu has been one of the greatest decisions of my life. Both of my children train here also. I've lost over 115lbs and have become an internationally ranked Jiu Jitsu competitor. The lessons that my kids and I have learned here have brought us closer together and made us better people on and off the mats. We love it and will continue to train here for as long as they'll have us!
Travis Bailey
Starting jujitsu classes was one of the best decisions I have ever made for my daughter and I. Jujitsu is a game of chess not checkers, and over the past three months, I’ve noticed a difference in the way my daughter approaches issues in not just jujitsu, but in everyday life. The confidence she’s gained is like no other. If you’re wanting to get in shape, these classes will assist and give you the motivation to reach your fitness goals. If you’re a veteran, and you’re looking for the same type of camaraderie you felt in the military, this is as close as you’re going to get to finding it. This gym is a blessing to our community, and I highly suggest trying it out!!
Carol Warren
As an older woman, I was looking for a physical workout that would improve my balance, strength, and cardio. I hate gym work. Family has fulfilled my goals, and I am learning a skill that may save my life! There are a variety of skill levels in the class. Everyone cheers for each other. We each work hard at our own level and pace. I highly recommend Family, especially for adults. Don’t be afraid—come roll and learn!!
