Our Story

About The Academy

Mission Jiu Jitsu was created with one simple concept — to teach an extremely effective martial art and have fun doing it.

Who We Are

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu As It Should Be

We blend traditional and modern Brazilian Jiu Jitsu so every student — kid, teen, adult, beginner or competitor — gets a solid foundation, a great workout and a community that cheers them on.

From the ultra-competitive athlete to the parent looking to learn self defense, we treat each student like family. Strength, balance, conditioning, teamwork, fun and discipline — that's what you'll gain on our mats.

Ralph Gracie Lineage

A Direct Line To The Roots Of BJJ

Our academy proudly carries the lineage of the Gracie family — from Mitsuyo Maeda, who brought Jiu Jitsu to Brazil, through Carlos and Helio Gracie, on to Carlos Gracie Jr. and Ralph Gracie, and finally to our lead instructor Marcelo "Bob" Lucena.
