First-class instruction for kids and adults in Jiu Jitsu, Judo, and Wrestling. Our family chose Exodus because Professor Jason and Professor Heike run a truly family-focused program with values that align with ours. Exodus has become the ultimate “third space” for our family — a place where we stay healthy, challenge our minds, and grow together. My wife and I help with the kids’ class and stay for adult class, which allows our whole family to train the same hobby, in the same place, at the same time. It’s incredibly convenient for our schedule and even more meaningful for our family.

Our boys started their BJJ journey here at Exodus & they love it! It’s not just a good workout / a way to get their energy out + stay active. They’re learning discipline + important life skills.

Exodus Jiu-Jitsu has been life changing for my 8 yr old on! We’ve been going here for over a year and he went from nervous, zero experience to confident, competitive, and absolutely loving jiu-jitsu. He goes 4x/week and loves it. Family Saturdays are a fantastic way the entire family can practice & bond together. The professors are not only world-class practitioners, but also amazing teachers who know how to bring out the best in their students. This family owned gym creates such a positive, supportive environment where discipline, confidence, and resilience thrive. We’ve seen HUGE growth in our son both on and off the mat, and we couldn’t be more grateful or recommend our Exodus Jiu-Jitsu family more!

Exodus Jiu-Jitsu is a high-level academy with a very professional and structured approach. The instruction is detailed, organized, and effective ,truly an ISO standard for Jiu-Jitsu. Great culture, clean environment, and a welcoming atmosphere for all levels. Highly recommended.

My daughter had been asking for so long to try JiuJitsu and I’m so glad we found Exodus! She is learning so many valuable life lessons that go beyond just her training. She is learning to work hard, to have humility in her wins and losses and how to be a great partner. Just like their motto says “as iron sharpens iron” she is learning to learn and grow from her professors, coaches and teammates and to be someone they can learn from as well. The best part is she gets to have fun and build new friendships and a community here! We love Exodus and can’t wait to see how far she goes!

Frequently Asked Questions

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at Exodus Jiu-Jitsu. It's the best way to experience our training environment, meet our coaches, and see if BJJ is right for you. No experience or equipment needed — comfortable athletic clothing is fine.

DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE TO START?

No experience necessary! Exodus Jiu-Jitsu welcomes complete beginners. Our instructors break down every technique step by step, and our community is known for being welcoming and patient with new students. Everyone starts as a white belt, and that's exactly where you should start too.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?

For your first visit, comfortable athletic clothing works perfectly — a t-shirt and shorts or athletic pants. Once you commit to training regularly, you'll want to invest in a gi (kimono). Our coaches can recommend quality options at a range of price points.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?

Most students at Exodus Jiu-Jitsu train 2 to 3 times per week and see consistent progress. Showing up regularly matters far more than training intensely once in a while. We offer multiple class times throughout the week so you can find a schedule that fits your life.

DO YOU OFFER CLASSES FOR KIDS?

Yes! We offer dedicated programs for children and teens at Exodus Jiu-Jitsu. Our youth classes focus on discipline, respect, confidence-building, and the fundamentals of BJJ in a safe, fun environment.
