My kids have been training here for quite some time and they love it! We love our little big jiu-jitsu family. All of the coaches are incredible! If you are looking for a new gym, look no further.

My husband invited me to my first BJJ class 3.5 years ago and I never looked back! It is our home away from home. Coach Ricky is very laidback and knowledgeable, and our teammates are encouraging and helpful.

Contact Us

Do I need any experience to start?

No experience needed. Most of our students walk in with zero martial arts background. Our beginner-friendly classes in Burlington teach you the fundamentals step by step, and the best way to start is to book a trial.

What should I wear to my first class?

Just comfortable athletic clothing — a t-shirt and shorts or leggings are perfect for your first session. If you already own a gi (uniform), bring it. If not, we will help you get set up.

What ages and programs do you offer?

We teach Kids BJJ (ages 6–12), Teen and Adult BJJ (13 and up), women’s self-defense, and private lessons. Classes are grouped by age and experience so everyone trains at the right level.

How do I get started?

Book a trial. We offer separate trial options for adults and kids — pick the one that fits, sign up online in a few minutes, and we will take care of the rest.

Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu safe for kids?

Yes. Our kids classes are structured, supervised, and focused on discipline, confidence, anti-bullying skills, and fun in a safe, welcoming environment.

Where are you located?

We are at 625 N Park Ave, Burlington, NC 27217 — a short drive for families in Graham, Mebane, and Gibsonville.

What makes CJJF North Carolina different?

We are a veteran-owned academy and the first CJJF (Caveirinha Jiu-Jitsu Family) academy on the East Coast, training under the lineage of Professor Aldo “Caveirinha” Januário and Carlos Gracie Jr.
