Welcome to Saunders Brazilian Jiujitsu!
We specialize in a no-frills, fundamentals-first approach to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. We don’t chase the flash. Our focus is on developing true grappling efficiency through relentless pressure, positional dominance, and classic techniques that stand the test of time, and have fun while doing it.
We refine the basics - crushing top control that suffocates, heavy pressure passing down low, tight submissions, frames that hold, and positional awareness that breaks opponents mentally and physically.
Our classes blend detailed instruction with hard, honest training. We believe in doing things the right way, not the easy way. Whether you’re a competitor, hobbyist, or just getting started, our system emphasizes the kind of Jiu-Jitsu that works.
With an instructor with over 25 years of experience teaching Brazilian Jiujitsu, you have found one of the best places in the area for learning this art. If you're ready to build real skill, brick by brick, round by round, we’ll see you on the mat. Come on in and try a free class!

Belated congratulations to Kurt Volkan on his promotion to brown belt a month or so ago! He's got a great guard, nice pressure when passing, and some uncommon escapes from side that he is very effective with. Also, congratulations to Rob Zecca and Marion Furtschegger on their recent promotion to blue belt! Keep up the hard work!

New blue belt

A belated congratulations to Noel Myers on his first BJJ competition. He competed last month in the white-belt division at the Tap Cancer Out tournament and took home the gold, handily winning his division with submissions in every match! And on that note, I am happy to say that Noel was just promoted to blue-belt. He is absorbing BJJ readily and I look forward to his future progression.
