B1 Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Self Defense

If you are new or experienced with Jiu-Jitsu, B1 is the best school in the area for kids and adults! I decided to continue my Jiu-Jitsu journey here and my experience has been awesome. Professor Bruce teaches world class Jiu-Jitsu that is practical, effective, and efficient. He is also a great leader that builds genuine relationships with each of his students. He takes the time to share a moment with his students before and after class. Professor Bruce also fosters a safe and respectful learning environment free from judgement. Since I have decided to continue my Jiu-Jitsu journey here, my skills and self discipline have also significantly improved. I’m also proud to have my daughter as a student in their kids program that teaches discipline, resilience, and confidence all in a fun and safe environment! I highly recommend B1 Jiu-Jitsu to anyone!

B1’s program is fantastic. This is a great gym that is family-friendly and enthusiastic about teaching all ages and levels. They often also bring in other high-profile professionals for seminars, and everyone helps each other and supports one another in tournaments for those who compete. This is a supportive, professional, and skilled gym that not only focuses on fundamentals, but also the morals and ethics of being a good person.

After training several years at another gym, I decided to try a gym that was closer to my home. While I was hesitant to move gyms, Professor Bruce, Coach Eric, and the students have welcomed me. Professor Bruce has never taught the same class twice, but he’ll stay within the same topic while offering a variety of techniques for his students. Each class is adjusted to the level the students that are attending. This allows the student to explore techniques that they could adopt into their jiu jitsu. Because of this and with the help of the other students, my Jiu Jitsu has steadily improved and the gym has become a second home.

My son has been coming here since January and he loves it. He has so much confidence after attending here. He’s more disciplined and independent. Bruce is amazing with the children and they love him! I’ve seen so much progression from my son and I couldn’t be more proud!

I’ve been training alongside Bruce for years, and his academy is honestly the real deal. The mats are always clean, the space is set up perfectly, and it's clear that a lot of thought went into making it a great place to train. What makes it stand out, though, is him. He’s super professional, but also easygoing and approachable. His technique is top-notch, and he has a way of explaining moves that just clicks. Plus, he’s the kind of person who makes training fun; you leave class feeling like you learned something and had a good time doing it. If you’re looking for a place to train jiu-jitsu with solid instruction and a great vibe, this is it.
