You've Been Thinking About This for a While

You want to know you could protect yourself and the people you love

The gym feels like a chore, and the results have stalled

You've heard jiu jitsu gyms can be full of ego and people trying to prove something

Work is demanding, and you need something that actually clears your head

Most adults who walk through our door felt exactly the same way. Many of them now say it's the best decision they've made for themselves in years.

How we train

No Shark Tank. Ever.

A lot of adults never try jiu jitsu because they picture a room full of people trying to hurt the new guy. That's not us.

What people picture
  • Getting smashed by the toughest person in the room
  • Ego and people trying to prove something
  • All out sparring on day one
What actually happens here
  • New students are never treated as prey. Advanced students help you learn safely.
  • Intensity builds as your skills grow. You start with controlled drilling, not all out sparring.
  • Professional instructors who teach with clarity and correct with respect
  • A spotless facility, cleaned throughout the day
  • Classes from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m., so training fits around your work, not the other way around
  • Many of our adult students train alongside their kids

The Silverback Guarantee, 30 days
The Silverback Guarantee

Love It, or Your First Month Is on Us.

If after 30 days you wouldn't roll with a full grown silverback gorilla to stay in our program, we'll refund your entire first month.

We're not asking you to decide today. The only way to make a fully informed decision is from the inside, on the mat. So train with us for 30 days and see if everything we say is true. If it is, stay. If it's not for you, no hard feelings. Just tell us, and you get your first month back. If you ain't happy, we ain't happy.

  • Train at least twice a week for your first 30 days
  • Show up on time to your classes

Why the conditions? Because showing up is what creates results, and we want the best for you. Few gyms will make a promise like this. We can, because we know what happens when people show up.

Applies to monthly memberships.

FAQ

Questions Adults Ask

Still wondering about something? We're happy to help.

I'm out of shape. Should I get in shape first?

No. Training is how you get in shape. Everyone starts where they are, and we scale everything to you.

Am I too old to start?

We have adult students of all ages, many who started in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. Jiu jitsu rewards technique, not youth.

Will I get hurt?

Safety is built into every class. You'll start with controlled drilling, learn to tap from day one, and build intensity only as your skills grow.

Do I have to compete?

Never. We teach jiu jitsu for real life: self defense, fitness, and personal growth. Competition is optional.

What should I wear to my first class?

Comfortable athletic clothes with no zippers or buttons. We'll handle the rest.

What does it cost?

We offer monthly and paid in full programs. After your intro, we'll walk you through the options and help you choose what fits.

Your first class is free

The best time to start was years ago. The next best time is this week.
