Think on Your Feet

Confidence You Keep
Techniques that give you confidence and skills to protect yourself in real-world situations.
- Jiu-Jitsu for everyone
Step onto the mat, and watch everything change. Whether your goal is fitness, competition, or finding a positive outlet, BJJ teaches more than just technique—it builds resilience, discipline, and strength you carry into life. No experience needed.
Gi Jiu-Jitsu (Teens & Adults)
The classic uniform, the traditional roots.
Learn the art of Jiu-jitsu the way it’s been practiced for generations: with grips, throws, and technical precision. Perfect for building fundamentals, sharpening strategy, and developing patience under pressure.
No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu (Teens & Adults)
Faster, slicker, sweatier.
No-Gi is BJJ without the kimono: where wrestling meets submission grappling — perfect if you’re into MMA, or just like a faster pace. No uniform required, just your determination.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for kids
For the little ninjas in training.
Our kids’ classes focus on building confidence, discipline, and teamwork, while having fun and making friends. Parents love the respect and structure. Kids love the games and the energy.
Self-Defense Jiu-Jitsu
Real skills for real life.
Learn how to stay calm, protect yourself, and use leverage to handle bigger, stronger opponents. Our self-defense program takes the techniques of jiu-jitsu and applies them to everyday situations — practical, effective, and empowering.

Joel Holland
Jucao has been my professor for three years this past September. If you’re looking to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu from one of the best, he gets my recommendation.
He turns people who are serious about learning the system into machines. Strength is important, but useless without technique. This guy knows technique.
Learn from him.
Mike T
Jucao BJJ is top of the line Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training for kids/teens/adults but more importantly is the martial arts culture. Coach Roan “Jucao” Carneiro is world renown for his skills and accomplishments but also who he is as a man, a martial artist and the example he sets. The vibe here is family friendly, community, lifting each other up and becoming better people. 5 stars all the way.

This is elite level jiu jitsu. Jucao is a legend who’s been on the cutting edge for years. He’s trained up some of the best athletes still active today. This is hands down some of the best training l’ve ever had and that you can ever get in this area.
