Jujitsu MN

Right here in Elk River, people are discovering the secrets of one of the world’s most proven and effective ground-fighting and self-defense martial art: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

  • You’ll be able to get a great workout and learn crucial self defense and life-saving grappling techniques while not having to worry about getting injured (safety is our #1 priority)
  • You’ll be training in a safe, structured environment
  • You’ll experience the mental and physical rush of BJJ training as you learn techniques that you’ll be able to apply on an attacker or opponent in a real live scenario
  • You’ll have inside access to all our professional instructors who are trained to “build you up” as a student
  • You’ll get stronger, get tougher, you’ll improve your endurance and stamina along with your cardio and breathing not to mention looking better and feeling better (after training with us for less than 30 days we are sure your friends will be asking you what you’ve been up to)
  • You’ll get exceptional service (We pride ourselves on the value we give to our students. If you have a question about anything at all, we will answer it. If you have any problems, we’ll solve them. If you need help, we will help you. We are 100% committed to your personal development as a mixed martial arts athlete.)
  • You’ll be part of a team where coaches and instructors CARE about you and your success

We are proud to Represent Minnesota’s most winning and #1 Jiu Jitsu Team! – Team Academy. Under the direction of Professor Greg Nelson our program is technically sound and safe for beginner though advanced students. You may have heard that if you can’t defend yourself on the ground, you can’t defend yourself, or that 90% of fights end up on the ground.  We believe in creating a complete system of self-defense & self improvement. Training in a slippery icey climate like MN, you must have a solid understanding of ground based defense. Even our country’s military uses this system to train our soldiers in hand to hand combat.

Let’s face it. If Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a “must-know” thing for profession mixed martial arts fighters like the guys fighting in the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) these days, it should most definitely be a “must-know” for pretty much anyone.

That’s because the “fight-ending submissions” and “fight-controlling positions” of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu have been battle-tested in combat, in a cage, in a ring and on the street.
