About Us

At Jax BJJ, we see training and consistently working towards improving ourselves a way of life.  Our curriculum integrates Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, Judo, mixed-martial arts, and self-defense.  You would be learning some of the most effective fighting styles in the World.  In addition to learning how to protect yourself, you will also reap significant health benefits.  These health benefits often times result in increased confidence, increased strength [physically, mentally, and emotionally], the ability to learn what it take for you to achieve success, increased threshold, and the potential for making meaningful connections with supportive, like-minded people.

 

Jax BJJ (Jacksonville Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) was established in 2006, it's history began in the '90's.  Professor Larry Shealy started training students on mats in a rented storage unit they called the "Hot Box".  Jax BJJ members include hobbyist/lifestyle students, competitive athletes, law enforcement, and military.  While most of our students do not complete, we have had athletes win and medal in local events and international events, including Worlds and Pans.  Most of all, we are a community of grapplers who are always working on improving our skills, learning, and having a good time.
