"What do I enjoy most about CB? Well to be very honest, the staff. That's one great team you guys put together!!! I've been going now for maybe 2 months and I love it. I tell all my friends and family about it and they can all tell that I really enjoy going to CB.

I enjoy it so much that as a member and as a team player, at least one or twice a week when I show up I try to take a cooler full of bottled water for everyone to help out for the awesome work out we all get."

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and ground fighting with the goal of gaining a dominant position and using joint-locks and chokeholds to force an opponent to submit. BJJ can be trained for self defense, sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition.

This class focuses on learning the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Students practice various techniques using a traditional gi/kimono. Beginners will learn and practice break falls, escapes, positioning, leverage and opening the guard.

Once a student becomes competent in the basic positions and movements in the Beginner Jiu-Jitsu Class, they will be ready to train in our Advanced Class. The Advanced Jiu-Jitsu further hones the student's basic skills. Students learn more about how to effectively control and escape from all the basic positions. Students also learn more advanced submission holds and obtain a more technical understanding of Jiu-Jitsu and the proper application of the various techniques for competition.

Advanced BJJ fighters can also move on to train in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) with participation in our other training programs.

Also known as submission grappling, this class teaches students the application of Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling techniques without the use of the traditional gi/kimono. Students learn arm locks, chokes, takedowns, and sweeps.

No matter what level you train in, you will be given a personalized program catered to your needs and goals. Our trainers will work with you every step of the way to help you exceed your potential. The trainers also constantly introduce new material, so your training will never feel stale or lacking. Plus, with so many available classes, you can really plan your workout around your schedule!

"I like knowing that if I miss a particular class I still have about two more opportunities in that day to make it up. I believe the more you make classes available, the more successful you will be."
